how to change language from english to spain
[LG Optimus 2x] hostel666:
I'm using it for a while now and it works great.

down side is,with gps on, battery is out in 1.5 hours.

To get it working,you have to put the map(tomtom) with data(=3.32Gb) on your phone.

Not on your sd-card.....

[Galaxy Note II General] Stridar:
I've had S3 and it's the best screen ever.

I am let down however with the GN2 screen, it looks bland and lacking detail, it's like looking at the S3 then iphone 5 and noticing the difference in colors.

I even compared it to the GNote 1 side by side and the galaxy note 1 just looked much better, better colors no doubt.

Am I the only one or have other people found the same thing?
[Galaxy Note II General] Jamal Ahmed:
Note 2 colors are much more "accurate" as they say...

Maybe you like oversaturated colors more? :) becauee another example you gave of iphone 5, Display Mate has said that the display of iphone 5 is more "accurate colors" than that of s3.

But some people (me too!) like oversaturation and inaccuracy more :)
[Galaxy Note II General] thedicemaster:
settings>display>screen mode>dynamic

that should bring out a bit more color.
[Galaxy Note II General] stesteste:
Think your phone might be faulty as the screen on my note 2 is more vivid and sharper than my 1 video are amazing and I have copared same movie on both phones
[Galaxy Note II General] Ariozo:
Same here, my n2 have really nice colors and one plus compare to my s3 is i can even see the screen on my n2 outside in strong sun that s3 is really bad at.

[Galaxy Note II General] Stridar:
Yes I understand all the comparisons in pixels/ RBG/ pentile. The GNote 2 on paper is impressive but, when I actually help the device and looked at it, it looked lacking. I don't know, I'm still note convinced by the replies.
[Galaxy Note II General] Mister_Mxyzptlk:

[Galaxy Note II General] ciscostud:
My s3 always had blurry text. Not sure whats with your screen. My note 2 is much improved.
[Galaxy Note II General] markysd:
yes S3 is not so good outside in day time for me even when the screen is full bright up all the way.. looks like the note 2 is more brighter to see outside in day time..i had the HTC one X and was bright and can see it really good at day time but seems like LCD sucks battery faster...

im looking to get a note again.... do you have to crank up the brightness on the note 2 to see it really good at day time sunlight?

thanks
[Galaxy Note II General] 30Seconds:
I think that graphic is a bit misleading as it has been scaled up slightly on the S3 to match sizes.

I have both the S3 and the Note 2 and yeah in some ways the S3 screen is better but I would say it's due to the PPI.

One thing that is right on in that pic is the green tint on the S3. Holding them side by side it's certain that colors are truer on the Note 2 and white is more white etc.
[Galaxy Note II General] ciscostud:
note 2 is a improvement of the s3 pentile matrix. Its not up for debate. Its like saying ps1 has better graphics then ps2.

Why the denial?
[Galaxy Note II General] somerandomnewb:
Here in HK alot of users had reported that texts and images appear to be much sharper on the note 1. It has to do with the S-stripe subpixel arrangement of the new note 2 screen, heres an article that explains it in more details (please cutout the spaces before and after the word "uwants". Site is also in chinese but u should be able to get the idea looking at the pics):

[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Agree...my note 2 screen is definitely bettet
[Galaxy Note II General] veer987:
I agree with the OP. The whites on my screen appear a little beige-ish when held parallel to the eye. Once you tilt it, in any direction you see the pure whiteness. I tried this at various brightness levels. I dont think this is a matter about comparing pixels and sub-pixel arrangement. The colors on first glance look superb better than any screen that ive seen. But when you tilt the screen a bit, that when u realise what superb really is! but holding it staright, the whites are certainly not so white.

Ive also read that all Amoleds are different and that could be one of the reasons. And im not sure if Samsung will replace the unit for this? Has anyone tried to replace the handset before, with any other Galaxies due to this screen problem?
[Galaxy Note II General] hagba:
I have both andI Note II has the better screen specially outdoor visibility .However the screen being more tinted is making the whites slightly duller.
[Galaxy Note II General] hung2900:
A faulty screen. Normal problem of all AMOLED screens that the quality is varied.
[Galaxy Note II General] americasteam:
I Can't believe all the bad talk over this screen. Received my unit today. In my eyes, this is the best screen on any mobile device that I have owned. It looks fantastic!!! Whites look good, blacks are fantastic, and colors pop. It's even usable outside in the sun. I'm coming from an S3, and have also owned the One X, iphone 4 and the original Note. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] niketkumar:
Then I guess u should compare it with the others
[Galaxy Note II General] dawolverune:
this is bull i went back to the store i bought the note 2 from, i showed them the note 2 v note 1 and they agreed that the note 1 is brighter. Unfortunately their other note 2 units were just the same so i could not exchange it.

Samsung needs to tell us what's going on! if they want to give us the purple haze excuse that apple used then they should!:mad:
[Galaxy Note II General] dawolverune:
ok i need to apologise to samsung. sorry!

the screen problem can be resolved as follows:

go to settings>display> auto adjust screen tone - turn this option off (it's the last option on the page).

now the note 2 should come alive, well it did for me.
[Galaxy Note II General] @home:
Screen on my Note 2 looks fantastic:good:
[Galaxy Note II General] Jed Dignazio:
dawolverune Suggested this in a thread:

go to settings>display>auto adjust screen tone - turn it off

Hows it look?
[Galaxy Note II General] mi7chy:
Duh! It's common sense to disable auto brightness. Samsung tends to prefer the low side. Wasn't there suppose to be an offset setting to make your own customization?
[Galaxy Note II General] Jed Dignazio:
Well, I dont yet have the device, but he diddnt say Auto brightness. Is that what he meant??
[Galaxy Note II General] dawolverune:
this is not auto brightness, it is a new and different setting!

Please see attachment!
[Galaxy Note II General] americasteam:
I'm not sure if this was intended for me or not, but why not. My wife has my One X and my daughter has an iPhone 4. This screen blows them both away. I had to fix something on the One X last night and was thinking the whole time how much better I like the screen on the Note 2. Not to say these devices have bad screens and that the N2 screen is perfect.

As far as comparing to the S3, I've seen posts saying it had a better screen. I don't know how in the world one could think it looks anywhere comparable to the N2 screen. It was a nice screen, but the pentile layout bugged me to no end.

Again, these are my observations. Different strokes for different folks.
[Galaxy Note II General] vincelau:
I think the differing opinions are due to different priority with regards to "screen quality" - I usually rate screens on a few aspects: color accuracy, brightness, glare, pixel density (which give you a sense of sharpness)

for people who thinks note 1's screen is better, usually they prioritize pixel density over other aspects

but for people who look at overall performance in addition to just pixel density, Note 2 is a vast improvement

personally i had avoided AMOLED screens (expect the P6800's Super AMOLED PLUS) for the longest of time due to the blue/green cool hue on whites, and am happy that Note 2 finally get closer to real white than sammy had even done

[Galaxy Note II General] freakboy13:
Is it me or does the optimus look the best with most clarity/ definition
[Galaxy Note II General] achusaysblessyou:
Nope, the optimus looks nicer...

This screen issue with the allegedly fast degrading and the pixel issue has me doubting my purchase... I'm already nervous about going to Samsung... it's just as a whole the thing is so awesome (at least on paper)... I just don't want buyer's remorse 3 months down the line...
[Galaxy Note II General] heatfire:
is the N2 perfect? no!

if you cant stand the risk of having to change the phone in like 5 years dont buy it.

and sure in like 1-2 years it will not be as perfect and will have some part more degraded then others..

in 2 years i will have the Note 4 or Note 3 and someone else will have to live with all those screen problems.

or i just change the screen if i gets to bad.

now go and search Ipad image retention or ghosting. even LCDs aint without error
[Galaxy Note II General] gee2012:
Be a troll somewhere else mate :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note II General] Ariozo:

i would take my note2 screen over my s3/note1 every day..seems some have problems with the screen, but i think they look damn nice. Color are more true and it works better then my s3 outside qhen the sun is high. :)

Skickat från min GT-N7100 via Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Really? Is it only because of the screen size? Because I would love it even more if we have the exact same screen as the s3, but in a 5.5 size....but that's not possible due to large screen size and sharpness trade offs
[Galaxy Note II General] hoezay:
Have to admit i found my Note 1 looking "richer" ... will try to do a screen comparison soon. The Note 2 is incredible. Samsung nailed it with this one.
[Galaxy Note II General] luckyaddress:
I think that it is real, because I attend a conference to try use Note2, I own Note1 , I compare the two phone.

Note I 's color is beautiful than Note 2, and the margin of icons is more sharper than Note2.

but The smoothness of all....Note2 is very good.
[Galaxy Note II General] americasteam:
I find this thread entertaining. I've had the Note 1 and just sold my S3 to partially fund my Note 2 purchase. IMHO the Note 2 has the best screen on amobile device. Why anyone would want a jadgged pentile mess over RGB is beyond me. Not to mention the colors are more accurate on the N2 as well (and still saturated). To each his own I guess. ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] 00mred00:
Funny thing is....you can take just about 6 (same model) of any Sammy phone since the s2 and put them side by side and all 6 screens will vary greatly.

I have not tried with the note 2 yet but I imagine it will be the same
[Galaxy Note II General] bluepremium:
Thanks for the image
[Galaxy Note II General] JustinL01:
I have had the Note and currently have both the SGS 3 and now the Note 2. Firstly have you changed the setting in the Note 2 options where you can change it to natural, standard or vivid?

The Note 2 screen without doubt is superior to both the Note 1 and the SGS 3, better brightness, sharper text, better colours. All reviews have agreed that the Note 2 screen is superior.If it's better than the Iphone 5 or HOX is another matter entirely for another thread :)

All of my opinions are subjective ofc as they are mine.
[Galaxy Note II General] TML1504:
i tried it: it is the same! i swapped through more then 10 note 1 devices to get a perfect screen, and i'm on my 3rd note2 atm which i also won't keep because of it's yellowish tint! all 3 screens had at least one other flaw too: dust between glass and amoled-panel, and/or dead subpixel(s)!

i guess again one out of ten screens to be almost perfect! had been this way on gs2, n1, ...

but: if these "flaws" bother one depends massively on one's personal taste: it drives ME mad, but must not necessarily bother most others...
[Galaxy Note II General] doodlyd:
Can anyone check this ! in the completely dark room put a black image or a black screen test on and see if your phone shines a with some brown tilt?i compared SGN2 to SGS2 and SGS2 has way better blacks , in the completely dark room SGS2 with black image looks like the screen is off while SGN2 far from it .I dont undestend it ,cause amoled screens not supose to shine with black pixels .So do i have a bad screen and need to replace it ,or all SGN2 screens has such problem ? u have to be in the completly dark room to see this

---------- Post added at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------

sorry for the bad quality ,but all my good videocomeras are used in screen compassion ,but u still can see that SGN2 shines wile SGS2 is not ,due to the bad quality the shining effect is lower then in real life,britness of the screen (max)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=z9Yj2WbfzP8#t=10s
[Galaxy Note II General] TML1504:
what you describe here has two causes:

first: no amoled is able to display 100% black even when there is nothing to display. when it's on, there is a faint glow due to it's active matrix. consider it as a form of standby!

second: differences in production quality, see my comment above! take 10 note2 screens, each one would have a different "black level", gamma, tint, etc.

it mainly depends from where in the wafer one specific screen has been cut out. the more from the center, the more uniform the screen will be...

Hey all, the situation with Wallet changes a lot, and past threads for working side loads no longer work (404s or install issues)....

So I think we should have a Google Wallet sticky (I really hope there isn't already one) that's kept up to date for getting Wallet working on the Verizon GalNex.

But right now I need pointing in the right direction, a link to an apk or thread with up-to-date directions would be awesome!

I feel like I'm probably missing something simple here, but is there some kind of secret to setting up an outlook.com account on our devices? It auto detects it as POP3, IMAP, or Exchange. I've tried all 3 and just can't get it to sync. In Exchange it wants a domain and I tried outlook and outlook.com with no luck.

If you got it working, what did you do? Is there something I need to set on the account itself like with gmail you have to enable POP or IMAP? If so, where is it? I looked and didn't see anything.

Depending on your phones colour, this is what you will need. He is a UK seller and trusted i can confirm his item is legit. I was playing Basket ball with my brother near my house and the floor was concrete floor. Anyway i took a shot and the phone fell out my jacket pocket and landed face down. The screen protector got totally f'd up and i still got a scratched and a cracked screen.

I was looking at youtube videos on how to replace the screen it looked hard till i found these two items on ebay.

Blue touch panel and metal frame with hardware buttons.

White touch panel and metal frame with hardware buttonss.

Anyway so i have a white phone i ordered the white digitizer metal frame thingy it is quite expensive, When it arrived all i did was take my phone apart and take the important parts like the mic, motherboard, front facing camera and etc and swapped it into the new one and it works great again looks brand new as well.
