Checky what I just stumbles across

http://www.androiduck.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-samsung-galaxy-note-3/

Facts are facts, rumors are rumors. The fact is nobody knows ish about the 3 but this article gives the most logic on what's to be expecting.... I will try my hardest to hold out for this instead of getting the 2.

So whats your view of IOS7 guys? I think its cool, but seems like they are just copying android which is shame.
[Galaxy Note II General] zacharysblubaugh:
Looks like an Android port to me
[Galaxy Note II General] Rickav:
I'll be honest, I used to be an Apple guy. My first smartphone device was an iPod Touch 3rd Generation. Holy poop, I was impressed. At that time, it was the shizzle. And I had it for a year or so. Over time, I had jailbroken it (equivalent to rooting it to you die-hard Android guys) and there's this app called Cydia which the gateway to all kind of hacks & mods for Apple devices. Things that simply should have been integrated with all Apple devices since whenever they began their existence. As is the normal case, the hackers/modders did a better job than Apple itself. From the Android perspective, it would be very true to say that many of these mods were actually already a part of most Android stock ROMs. Such as quick toggles in the Notification pull-down area, shortcuts/widgets, true multitasking etc.

Eventually, iOS 6 came about and my trusty iPod had now lost its support from Apple. Forever on iOS 5. Nowhere to look by the Apple hacking community then. Some time later, I made a trip to India for some reason. While there, I was at a mall and noticed a Samsung showroom. Me being the tech-geek, wandered on in to check out the tech I could never afford for myself. Then I saw the Note 2. For £80 cheaper than it is in Britain. Damn. Damn. Slept over it for 2 days. Bought it. Fcuk yeah.

It's been a while since I've touched my iPod now. Can't say I care much for iOS7. But I did read up on it a bit. Noticed they too have introduced some simple widgets like for music and calender events. Even sharpened up on their multitasking capabilities. And added quick toggles etc. Surprisingly similar to the Cydia hacks that have been in play for years. True, Apple has to resort to copying and implementing mods from sources such as the mods available on Cydia as well as ideas from Android. But, in a way, that's okay really. In any case, if Android were to monopolise the smartphone industry and Apple bit the dust, there would be very limited progress in terms of technological advancements. Without competitions, it'd stagnant. Companies like Microsoft, Nokia & Blackberry would have to step up their game to have a chance with a market share against Google's Android.

So yeah... Copying is pretty annoying... But vital as well... My rant over...

You know you use touch screens too much when.....

I just did something real stupid, I've never done it before, but really did make me chuckle.

Which prompted my post of

"You know you use touch screens too much when..... you try and Swype the physical keyboard on your laptop!"

Has anyone else done this or anything else equally as stupid haha ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] zacharysblubaugh:
Lol I haven't yet

But my dad is always trying to control the laptop with its screen :p
[Galaxy Note II General] Rickav:
When writing on paper, I make mistakes similar to keyboard typing errors. For example, I would sometimes write "msde" instead of "made" or "velieve" instead of "believe".

I don't even know how that happens. First, weird writing errors, next full retard...
[Galaxy Note II General] RavenY2K3:
That "is" bizarre! Lol
[Galaxy Note II General] Rickav:
Well... poop.

I got 2 Thanks for stating the ridiculously high level of my idiocy.

posting help

Hi there,I only ever read posts on xda and if I have a problem I search the forum first before googling for answers. I could answer so many questions I come across on ROM forums but am unable to post due to only having 6 posts. Is posting another 3 posts after this one,even if random,the only way to be enabled to help?
[Galaxy Note II General] Rickav:
I believe the majority of the members here would be, for lack of a better phrase, rather displeased if you were to post 3 times consecutively for no apparent reason other than for the post count.

You mentioned that you had a certain know how of ROMs as well as willingness to share your knowledge in order to help others; which would lead me to believe you are quite capable of answering some basic questions about the mobile device in questions.

Hence, I'd advice you to go here which is the "Noob Questions" thread for the Galaxy Note 2 N7100, amongst other variants. There, you can post despite your low post count, achieve your primary aim of helping others with your knowledge as well as build up your post count and, inevitably though gradually, your thanks count as well.

Winner, winner; KFC Chicken wings bucket... (I keep it real...)
[Galaxy Note II General] khsparky:
That makes sense thanks for the advice
[Galaxy Note II General] metermen:
thanks
[Galaxy Note II General] knoknot:
Now that i have been with my note 2 since December last year, it no longer feels hug and bulky, tend to get used to the screen size and surprisingly its not such a heavy phone. but when i see someone else with a note 2 i tend to feel like that one is bigger than mine from a far..just an observation i made from my experience.
[Galaxy Note II General] smage85:
You get used to bulky.

When I got it first, it was too large now I slapped on an otterbox commuter case and even with the bulk it feels the perfect size
[Galaxy Note II General] zacharysblubaugh:
Hit the thanks button for whoever you where thanking
[Galaxy Note II General] mariostar32:
lol same here and when someone have a phone like s3 i feel it is very small compared to note 2 :D
[Galaxy Note II General] ahmadkamalrmc:
True that

I was holding my buddy's S3 and was asking him if it was S3 mini?

hi guys any interesting news?
[Galaxy Note II General] tweeny80:
Well, I'm reading that our Note 2 has an 'unofficial' JellyBean 4.2 update ... pure crap in my opinion.

http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/489320/20130712/samsung-galaxy-note-2-4-jelly-bean.htm

More likely:

http://www.latinospost.com/articles/23299/20130710/samsung-galaxy-note-2-update-release-date-delay-until-november.htm

I know there's other threads dedicated to an eventual update ... but you did ask :silly:

I'm content with 4.1.2. And content in general with our Note 2. I cam from Nexus S @ 4" screen and can confirm I'll never ever get a smaller screen phone. Ever. I actually sold my Asus tablet running 4.2 because I can comfortably surf on my Note.

Signed: Happy-As from New Zeland
[Galaxy Note II General] herbertzzz:
In my opinion the upgrade will come long time after offering Galaxy Note 3. Otherwise there would be no reason for owners of Note-2 to buy Note 3
[Galaxy Note II General] thelieisajoke:
I'm fully happy with my N7105.

Slick, smooth, big screen - what do I want more?
[Galaxy Note II General] apallohadas:
For this to be the Off-topic thread there sure is a lot of upgrade and other device talk.

Maybe the mods can make a separate stickie thread for that?

IN other news....

Michael J. Fox is coming back to TV! That is both pure awesome and completely off-topic!
[Galaxy Note II General] Rickav:
And in some other news, a baby was born. But this was a special baby. Because Britain.

[Galaxy Note II General] emadnermen:
do know when update 4.3
[Galaxy Note II General] Rickav:
Back to talking about device updates then I guess...

Personally, I hedge my bets at about November if not next year but there is no official release date as of yet.

It's just going to be after whenever Samsung releases there latest and greatest model and sufficiently saturates the market, they may release 4.2 if not skip directly to 4.3.
[Galaxy Note II General] intl:
A question. My friend sent me a picture of a nice girl. But when I opened the picture, a hairy guy showed up. Does someone know how to make such pics?
[Galaxy Note II General] apallohadas:
I'd be worried more about why your friend is out snapping pics of Hairy Guys!
[Galaxy Note II General] intl:
I will ask him for you :)
[Galaxy Note II General] apallohadas:
Err.. no thanks! I'm just not that curious!
[Galaxy Note II General] sewerprat:
Does anyone know if we should expect 4.2 on the note 2 or will Samsung just skip straight to 4.3? Would Samsung even just leave it at 4.1.2 and forget about note 2 completely bearing in mind note 3 is likely to be out in September. I hope they keep updating note 2 as I can't afford to upgrade for a while.

[Galaxy Note II General] Rickav:
So, uh, for reasons unknown to science, I held down the power and home button for a bit too long.

Phone took much longer than usual to reboot.

Realised why.

Reboot into phone as if brand new and just taken out from the box.

wut

Rooted and running a custom rom beforehand.

Opened app drawer, everything still there but none of the user downloaded and most of the system apps wouldn't open.

imessedupbigtime

Reboot a few more times, same story.

Reboot to recovery and try jiggle around a bit, doesn't help.

Hold down different combinations of the buttons, still no better.

youthinkthisisagame

Didn't make any sort of backup previously

Because I failed to foresee the unprecedented level of my idiocy.

Can, however, connect it via usb to laptop and explore sd card through there.

Have a 127 hours moment.

Drastic measures have to be taken for the greater good.

Copy all files from both the internal sd card and the external one to laptop.

Pray to Lord Jesus Muhammad Buddha that gaming apps can be restored from this make do backup.

I was level 135 on jetpack joyride.

135.

Do you even see how serious this is? Can you even comprehend the implications of what I'm about to do.

Boot to recovery.

Wipe cache.

Wipe dalvik cache.

Factory reset.

Wipe internal storage.

Wait, what!?

Yeah, I went that far. Big mistake. BIG mistake.

My phone is now simply a plastic case with bits of metal in it. And, of course, the recovery software still running.

Like a foetus. So much potential to be, but no more useful than bag of mushy peas.

But hers my plan. I downloaded and moved my custom rom from my laptop to the external sd card which was now in my phone.

Flash rom from sd card.

No.

Fcuking.

Way.

I saved it.

Yes, it was still an absolute newborn. But at least it wasn't a stillborn. Maybe I'm getting a bit carried away with the metaphors here.

Build up phone with the help of some screenshots I had taken a while back.

Start restoring apps from their backups.

Hungry sharks evolution, yep.

Jelly car 3, hell yeah.

Into the dead, no. I never played it anyway.

Pudding monsters, nope. Pssh, it was for babies.

Cut the rope, negative. But... I had... Perfected every single box... EVERY SINGLE BOX, YE HEAR?

Jetpack joyride, no. No. It can't be. Not after everything we've been through. How could you betray me like this, Barry?

Sniffle

Fcuk it all, I'm gonna get a hacked version of jetpack joyride, or so help me god.

Search the internet. Find a shady site. Download shady apk. Install shady apk. Run app.

Holy.

Shizzle.

Half a million gold. Every single gadget, jetpack, clothes purchased. Even some 300 of each head start, final blasts and quick revives.

But.

BUTT.

Level 1.

...

..

.

Never mind, Barry. You and me. We'll pull together through it. Just like the old days. Except this time, we do it like mutha-fcukin badasses.

Also, my phone is now exactly the way I want it: even better than before. The only thing left to do is make a backup. But I can do that later. I mean, I won't make a mistake like that again, right? Right...?
[Galaxy Note II General] tweeny80:
Lol I very much enjoyed reading your story. When does the book come out? The main character was a bit flawed but you made him seen human, someone we could relate to.

Looking forward to his next adventure!
[Galaxy Note II General] Rickav:
You just made my midnight (yes, I surf xda in the very early hours of the morning; not because I'm an insomniac but slightly loopy. Okay, maybe full on mentally challenged. Don't even bother judging me).

Seriously, really appreciate that you managed to drag yourself through all of that mess and well glad that you enjoyed it. Not an author. Not even a writer. (I guess you already picked that part up early on). But every now and then I have some experience which just make me go,

"Daaang... I need to tell others about this awesomeness."

And that's how stories like that come to be. That "flawed" guy, played by yours truly (that's me), dislikes English quite a lot. Abandoned the subject quite a while ago now. But I like a good story time, me. And I narrate stories the way I would like to read them. Reckon that's where you get the "relatable" aspect from.

Meh.

Here's to more awesome stuff happening to me so I can type them then others like you can read and enjoy them and our karma increases and together we will beat global warming. Umm... uh... Yippee ka yay!?
[Galaxy Note II General] tweeny80:
Chapter two is an editorial then; some insight into the author to help flesh out the character's development.

Anyways we're all glad you got your device sorted. Who likes a story where the main character gets bested :o
[Galaxy Note II General] immm:
Hi guys!

How are you today?
[Galaxy Note II General] shippy__:
Im good
[Galaxy Note II General] Rickav:
So, uh, I have a dilemma...

So clearly Note 2 has not yet received any firmware updates that allows the placing of widgets on the lookscreen (namely 4.2 and 4.3).

On the other hand, there's a handy app called widgetlocker that does allow the placing of widgets on the lookscreen despite 4.1.2 limitations. The major con is that I'd have to sacrifice device locking security in order for the app to function properly and let's not even mention the lagging problems you inevitably face with likes of an app like this.

So what should I do... Buy and make do with widgetlocker on 4.1.2 until it becomes redundant in the future OR wait some more for the official update and take it from there...?
[Galaxy Note II General] droidzika:
[MENTION=5125844]Rickav[/MENTION] I just got widgetlocker mainly because it got a nice upgrade. It's worth the cash for a 4.1.2 device. I'll give it 4/5 stars :)

Sent from my super duper coffee pot 2
[Galaxy Note II General] tweeny80:
To me, all depends on cost - the really useful apps are usually worth their price. I guess you have to weigh up when you think our next update might drop. Counting backwards, then how many days might you get use of widget locker? (*puts on serious face, gets out calc, squints eyes) now time for a cost benefit analysis... yes I had to Google it too

Or you could do what many posters in the 'samsung delays update again' thread threaten to do; go buy HTC because at least they care about their customers. Psshaw ! Go for it rickster
[Galaxy Note II General] Rickav:
So [MENTION=4580915]droidzika[/MENTION]'s simple advice is to get the damned app and stop willying around.

And [MENTION=4717184]tweeny80[/MENTION] suggests I go buy an HTC because 'Screw you, Sammy my boy'. Somehow, I feel getting the app would be a somewhat cheaper option.

I kid, tweeny. I've already thought about how many days of actual use I'd get with the app and, realistically, I think it would become redundant sometime in January '14. By that time, hopefully, the next update has rolled out to our Notes and maybe even a few 4.3 stable roms to play with.

So that's, give or take, 5 months from now. 5 months to a acquaint myself with widgetlocker before it is abandoned for good. That's a long-ass time. That's like 5 complete lunar revolutions. Maybe I should just get it as a sign of good will and, more important, it's pretty darn handy...
[Galaxy Note II General] xman_here:
Exynos 5420 or Snapdragon 800? Take your pick. See what country will get which processor. Samsung Galaxy Note III will feature different processors. I'll be going with Snapdragon 800.

Hi everyone

I'm looking for a FREE app to stitch a panorama out of already existing photo's.

I already tried photostitch and autostitch.

My trail version is over for photostitch. The free autostitch app can only make a panorama from very low quality.

Do someone know an app that stitch existing photos together to a panorama.

And maybe free?

My thanks in advance!

What you ask about is called "Sideloading", and no Android devices need to be rooted to do this. All you have to do is go into the Security settings on your phone and enable "Unknown Sources" to be able to install apps from places other than the Play store.

Just be careful what you install.
