Seeing coldfustion loving on Note2 is like walking back into a good bar. I'm over the moon for my new T889. I'm assuming most of the newness I like is Jelly Bean stuff, but these are my thoughts from today.

Pros:

- Power/Sleep button is about an inch lower on the right side (really nice).

- Processor wtf, is this thing ivy bridge?

- Handwriting recognition is pretty damn, even with script. But the app is a little clunky in terms of having to switch between recognition mode on/off.

- Surprising amount of useful widgets installed stock.

Cons:

- S-Voice seems like it could be really sweet, but it doesn't seem to work much at all.

- S-Pen is still not crisp enough to use for real note taking. More the slight delay in draw than lack of capture, but it's pretty close. But the pull and automatic note pop-up.

- I noticed a lag once today.

There Is Really Only One Way To Put It:

Here's the skinny: If you have ever waited months for any phone in the past, watching ever word written, Googling till your fingers fall off, reading every forum (oh, only me? well, nevermind then..lol) and then found yourself "slightly disappointed a few days after you FINALLY got your hands on the device, (because no device could live up to that sort of hype & anticipation), i can PROMISE you, this time its the REVERSE...Gone is the, "meager limiting 3 or 4 new features that is supposed to excite & delite you till your next upgrade" and present is the "endless surplus of well integrated option after option after option : )

Day One when you get it and first turn it on, you will be like WOW!! But, with each passing day you will be amazed and impressed, this phone nails it! It is unlike ANY Android experience you have ever had, and "it::::runs::::so::::seamless, smoothlly & is so flawless, with a Quadrant score of 6242 and performance to match::::::::::: i don't think i will even root it....wait, are we allowed to say that in this forum? lol

lol ye I agree, gaming on it is a joy.
[Galaxy Note II General] princealitanha:
well actually I have a very long story ..

before one year I bought Galaxy Nexus at the launch time ( my first Android device ) ordered from UK ,

Galaxy Nexus was really a solid device but it was really disappointing when it comes to battery life .. So after a couple of months I sold my Galaxy Nexus and I got back to my iPhone 4 .. till the release of Galaxy S3 ( International ) .. after buying Galaxy S3 at the launch time , at the begining 2 days of using it I discovered the home screen lag , that actually nothing solved the problem , ( Disabling S voice & new updates solved it slightly but not totally ) So I was an iPhone user so lag is totally not acceptable for me !! and after a couple of months I sold the S3 and got back to my iPhone 4 again !!

when Note 2 was announced I was laughing and saying lol who the hell will get that thing in his hands ! but when I tried it I was so shocked !! Lag doesn't mean anything in this monster powerhouse phone !! battery life is perfect ! the best battery life I've ever seen on a smartphone ! so both of the issues of Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S3 were solved and the device is extremely fast !!! fast in a way that you cant even imagine .. So I grabbed one exactly the next day and today I just bought a 16 GB extra memory for it and this time I'm really really happy about this device and Im enjoying everything in it .. I don't use the pen that much but using the pen is always enjoyable .. Gaming is really awesome on this device , watching movies , Sports is amazing ! the Camera is wow ! the speakers are really loud ! the Display is amazing it is really the best device I've ever used ( now its been about a month ) .

P.S: But I got an issue in update , when I check for updates it keeps telling me : " Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it . try later " ,, but I got the multi app update ;) if anyone can help I'll be thankful :)

I have a Nexus 7 and Galaxy Plus 7 which I love, I hate to say it but since I got my Galaxy Note 2 (arrived on the 29th) I haven't felt the need to use either one of them. I used to bring my 7 inch with my phone and watch movies on my 7 inch (I don't play a whole lot of games) but I find the Note 2 size is just fine.

for phone calls, you can't listen to music and watch videos.

I haven't bought a single smartphone though I almost bought iphones. When I saw the video about galaxy note 2 in October I really waited for it. I even bugged my carrier to get it. LOL
[Galaxy Note II General] RCJ89:
Thanks for the reply, the note 2 is my next phone. shame you cant watch videos when in a phone call or record videos.

Really glad your able to take pics whilst in a call though, wonder why the s3 doesnt have this feature.

Also you can take pics whilst watching videos, I though only the HTC One series had this feature (not to be confused with taking pics whilst recording video)
[Galaxy Note II General] barneystuta:
Absolutely love my Note 2.

It does everything you want, and more. And for those that maybe put off by the size, don't be (unless you have a real reason for it being too big).

iPhone's and a HTC One X even feel tiny in comparison, but this doesn't feel huge after a few days use. And if/when you go back to a "normal" sized phone, you will miss all that space.

Highly recommend a Note 2 to anyone and everyone. You won't got back if you do.
[Galaxy Note II General] senechaux06:
Loving my note 2 except that I found dark spots on the screen when im playing videos on a dark room. Also, the screen turns whitish when im moving the phone while watching videos.

Im curious if any of the reviews are experinceing screen heat near the camera while playing mc4 or other graphics intensive games. The screen becomes to hot to touch near the camera for long periods.
[Galaxy Note II General] st8800:
No doubt the Notes 2 is the most versatile and powerful smart phone to date. I love the ability to download torrents and the speed of the phone. However, build quality leaves much to be desired. I drop the phone sitting down during a meeting.... The phone dropped 2 feet and the screen shattered. Gorilla glass my ass.

Replacement screen cost US$115 and 3-5 days waiting time.

My usage of iPhone 3, 4, 4s and 5 must have dropped at least 20 times all combined. None of them had ever been damaged other than some dents on the sides. Screen has never break.
[Galaxy Note II General] iampoch:
Ouch :( actually, it's my biggest beef with Samsung products. They make damn good products at reasonable prices but their build quality is severely wanting.

[Galaxy Note II General] anirudh412:
I am not debating the fact that Samsung phones dont have a plasticky, sometimes cheap feeling to them (the GS2 especially), but you must be the luckiest guy on the planet to have dropped your iP4 and 4s multiple times and not have the screen or back shatter! Go to any repair shop, the ONLY phone you are going to find there is the iPhone. That was the main reason why I sold my iP4. Its small, compact and thus more denser than say the GS3. That translates into a higher momentum upon impact. It had me worried all the time.

To me, the perfect combination would be Lumia 9xx build, Nexus like buttonless front, GNote 2 size and iP5 weight. Whats wrong in dreaming, right? :D

Have had mine since Nov 2012 (International Version) and had the choice of iPhone 5 or this, at about the same price in BKK. Holding both in hand, the decision was easy and fast. This is by far the best choice. I now use mine as a desktop more than anything else, but have a few nits in that mode. The Samsung MHL adapter rots, as the build quality for that is low, as compared to the phone, which is excellent. My wife just replaced her 4s with a GSIII, and both of these devices (note2 + sIII) are excellent. This line can only get better, with perhap the addition of USB and HDMI ports (put somewhere:).

The battery shouldnt ideally drain out completely overnight

I've never experienced this , the maximum i've witnessed is around 7% overnight with wifi and auto sync on though ive seen a comparatively higher battery drain with blocking mode on

try wiping the cache in recovery or making a fresh install of the rom and see if this helps

[Galaxy Note II General] Alexei Volkoff:
A review that is not quite a review but more of a collection of thoughts on the daily usage of the Note 2. I too, like the reviewer, can say this is the best phone I have ever used and I completely agree with him when he says that anything smaller is not worth the trouble to carry around. I had the Galaxy S3, which was noticeably bigger than my HTC HD2 but not big enough to make that much of a difference, if you know what I mean. Added physical clutter without any real added benefit. That was the impression the jump from the HD2 to the S3 left me. When I bought the Note 2 I was afraid it would be too big and that I would regret carrying a phone this big around. Whatever inconvenience it causes me is well worth the trouble. After the Note 2 I can't see myself going back to anything smaller.

[Galaxy Note II General] dr.m0x:
Iivc had it since yesterday, this beast called the N7l00. I've held off for a while because I was unsure if it would be too big for me but I'm glad I've got it now. It is certainly at the extreme limit of what is possible to use as a phone but the pen makes it worthwhile indeed. On top of the advantages of the pen, this is probably the only phone which does not require supplementation with a tablet of some description.

In fact, ridiculous as it sounds, I don't really think I need to carry a laptop out from the house anymore.

This is good. Beyond some of the software features the only thing I'm envious about is the 13 mpix camera. Still I 'd not sacrifice the s -pen just for that. Thanks to the 2gb of ram and 3100 mah battery, Note 2 is still one of the best phones on the market, and the s- pen just makes it totally unique.

[Galaxy Note II General] cambr1an:
Best phone I ever had. Build quality is amazingly good too for a phone made of plastic. I only wish they used real metal or just hyperglazed plastic for the sides instead of 'chrome plated' plastic. It can get really ugly once it get scratched, and my white Note already has plenty of scratches around its sides even with a case. Not really an issue, I'm just OC and also it may affect the resale value when I decide to upgrade to a Note 3 once it comes out.

Overall it's still one of the best phones out there in terms of both build quality and functionality.

A month with this gorgeous beast, and I'm heavily addicted to it. I was paranoid about the 720p screen with lower ppi (yada yada), and SAMOLED displays - a lot of my friends asked me to pick up One/Xperia Z/wait for S4. Now couldn't be happier that I took the risk and went ahead with buying Note II. In love with AMOLED (never going back to LCD again!), the display is sooo good and crisp. Easily the best device I've ever owned, by a country mile.

Although what's unique about this device, it grows on you more and more, as opposed to most other devices whose attraction wears off after using it for sometime. That's at least been my experience.
