Any comment on the feeling of the home button? I have tried my friend's GS3 and don't like the cheap (like a toy) feeling when I press it. I hope the GN2 home button is smooth like the iPhone one

[Galaxy Note II General] Gnarfsan:
Wat? My Galaxy S1 (Which I preordered back then) is still in use by one of my friends. The display does not look degraded in any way.
[Galaxy Note II General] achusaysblessyou:
Yes, and no, here's an example from the Black Crushing poll thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32562444&postcount=3

look at his Note 1, less than 1 year old, but yet you see the serious degradation between where the notification bar usually is (it's usually black there) and the rest of the screen.

I'm going for the Note II, but if this happens, I'm sending it straight back to Samsung. I'm very wary of Samsung, it just happens that they have released the phone of my dreams, but I have no illusions about them... the choice of shiny plastic almost did me in... (oh how i hate it)
[Galaxy Note II General] Techweed:
Can we realistically expect different back plates made of different materials to be produced for the Note 2 or is the fact that NFC being on the actual cover going to prevent that? I'd love to see back plates made out of other materials but I feel like the NFC may prove to be a road block.
[Galaxy Note II General] achusaysblessyou:
The back plate might be an issue, but look at phones like the Sensation 4G or the Amaze 4G where the top and bottom is rubberized plastic and the middle is metal. Although the Sensation has a major issue when you cup your hand over the top half the wifi signal dies... quite annoying in landscape mode. But, I dunno glossy plastic is just so much of a turn off for me... makes it look and feel cheap (in my opinion). Although the first time imma do when I get my phone is either buy a flip cover or a replacement back from an international note 2... I don't want the t-mo branding on the back (thank god it's only on the replaceable back cover too :p)

In any case, i don't think we'll have any other choices. I don't think Samsung will make any other back covers (not sure how experienced 3rd party manufacturers are at making the back cover with NFC antenna inside). Also even if we get a back cover it wouldnt match the bezel in the front of the phone anyways
[Galaxy Note II General] EvoYas:
To anyone who has an issue with the price. When you have a phone this amazing, technology that just oozes with features the price just dont matter any more. If you love smart phones as much as I do, you will do all that it takes to make sure you own a Note 2.

I love this phone. Never have I ever been this satisfied with a phone.
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
Well some people just can't afford it although they would love to have the device.
[Galaxy Note II General] skivnit:
Samsung phones tend to lose value pretty quickly.. look at the s3 i bought it at 700 bucks when it came out now its selling at 480 bucks unlocked..thats a lot in just over 4 months..so i will hold off for now untill it reaches 500. I sold my note 1 today at 350
[Galaxy Note II General] Clivectmob:
This is me all over, been on the hunt for the perfect ultra-convergance device for years, and I really think I've found it. Finally I can save some money and settle with something for a while without feeling I need to root it and improve it in some way. Everything is there, and more importantly, everything just works. Bingo!!
[Galaxy Note II General] cherylbaker:
Hunh.. apps cannot access the SD card?????? That makes no sense.. how am I suppose to play my 16gb of songs.. I certainly cannot put them on the phones memory
[Galaxy Note II General] cybermessiah:
Well I just checked out the Note 2.... cash in hand ready to get...

Have to say that I was dissapointed.....sadly.:(:(

I compared/scrutinized it to my original Note and just found that I prefer the 16:10 Aspect ratio of the original Note way better than the Note 2.... also the text and images seemed a lot less sharp on the new Note in direct comparison.

I'm truly sad that Samsung adopted the new AR as this is the thing about the original Note that sold me.. its truly a phablet. The Note 2 just feels like a super-sized S3 phone... its lost that feel of a tablet hybrid.

Can't say I'm impressed with the build quality either. The original Note has a much nicer and less plasticy feel than the Note 2... it feels more of a quality device in my opinion.:p

As for speed... I'm on a custom rom with Nova launcher on the original Note and its speed is as good as the Note 2 that I messed with in the store for an hour.:eek:

Damn it!.. I was ready to get the new Note, but I know I would miss the above mentioned details too much...:crying:

Im going to wait for the JB update to the Note 1 and see how it goes.... might even upgrade to the 32GB version of the original Note as its price has fallen quite a bit.:good:
[Galaxy Note II General] Clivectmob:
I really do fail to see where you are coming from with this one, in my opinion, having also owned the note 1, the screen is far superior on the 2. It is actually much sharper than the old one due to the RGB matrix used, which more than makes up for the slightly lower resolution. Text is without doubt, sharper than on the old one. Also, I never had a ROM, custom or not, that came close to the smoothness experienced on the note 2. I would also like to clear something else up too, the ext SD is accessible from MOST apps. All my pictures, video's and music are stored on the ext SD and I have never yet had an issue accessing them.
[Galaxy Note II General] nymviper1126:
Thank you for this! I had a feeling this was more the 'oversized S3' then a phablet device. Ive asked this in a few places about the aspect ratio, people dont seem to mind. I dont watch many movies(subway isnt always a good place to)...i dunno I love my GF s3, but it feels like a phone, displays like a phone. It doesnt feel like a device like you stated.:( the N1 browsing just feels more natural.
[Galaxy Note II General] Techweed:
In actuality, the width of the new Note 2 is not as reduced as you would think with a change of aspect ratio from 16:10 to 16:9. The increase in screen size from 5.3 inches to 5.55 inches offsets some of the loss in width with the AR switch, therefore producing a new screen size that is only I believe 2mm smaller.
[Galaxy Note II General] maverick1103:
Totally agree!!! What an awesome handset!! :)
[Galaxy Note II General] nymviper1126:
Yes I know its effectively the same width(2mm diff.) but the way web pages are formatted, native icon size/spacing etc. I have to see it in person, but comparison pics even in portrait mode a single line of text on N1 is two lines on N2. I really like landscape mode, and it feels more desktop/tablet like with this aspect/resolution.
[Galaxy Note II General] Livebyte:
I have tried the local Note 2 LTE in Samsung's Flagship Store.

All I can say is that the software on the Note 2 is the bomb.

It's wildly superior than any Samsung phone out there, yes including S3.

Multi-window surprisingly is well-implemented unlike Note 10.1's crappy implementation.

The screen is gorgeous, amazing, just top-notch.

However, it is not worth for me to upgrade since JB is coming with almost the exact same software on the Note 2.

I will wait for the Note 3 when they can improve the PPI of the screen beyond 300.
[Galaxy Note II General] nymviper1126:
Just did a test btw N1 and s3(same aspect/res of N2) and in landscape mode get 2 whole extra lines of text. I love using the phone two handed.

---------- Post added at 09:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

I hope most of the software icomes to both the N1 and Note 10.1, make me VERY happy.
[Nexus S General] migueldbr:
So...i couldn't find any topic here with a list of messaging applications(I send a lot of sms's daily so im always looking for alternatives) so i figured why not make one and maybe other users could point me out to the ones i dont know about. Here goes the list of the ones i know and have used:

- go sms pro ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jb.gosms&hl=en )

When it comes to theme support and functionality this one is probably the best, but it also is bloated and kinda slow sometimes=/

- Pansi sms ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pansi.msg&hl=en )

Probably one of the fastest sms apps i have used, but the UI is kinda dull

- Handcent ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.handcent.nextsms&hl=en )

Can't remember much about this one because i only used it for a little while

- Chompsms ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.p1.chompsms&hl=en )

Same as handcent

-Messaging Metro Beta ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zapnus.messaging )

This one has a lot of potential! An awesome WP7 UI but unfortunately you have to pay to get some features like system notifications=/. And sometimes it lags a bit

- Messaging 7 ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.np.wp7msg&hl=en )

An awesome WP7 UI with very good animations (better animations than Messaging metro) but unfortunately they lag=/

If you know more please share!
[Nexus S General] mdean1981:
I've used a lot of those and frankly I keep falling back to the stock SMS app. With the new dev features that have been added to it in most ROMs it covers really all the needed basis except for maybe person specific notifications.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S General] migueldbr:
me too, but since i dont like stock app colors i am using this one from the galaxy nexus forum(works on Nexus S)--> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1745830

But i would like to use others because i get bored of always using the same=p

The one in black bean 5 can be customized by the user. If I remember correctly the1dynasty helped with it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uqbar:
Hi all.

I'm investigating whether it'd be possible to pair an Android tablet with a 3G feature phone over bluetooth.

The idea is to have a wifi-only tablet with BT support (way cheaper than the 3G one) to use a 3G connection from my (plain old 3G) phone over bluetooth.

You could ask: Why all this? Because my feature phone can run 5+ days on batteries.

Is this possible?

TIA

Hi all.

I'm looking for a ROM that is all landscape orientation.

Is there any out there? I didn't seem to anyone or anything about this.

I hope you can help.

is this avabele in WP 7.8??? i tink in WP 8
[HTC Titan] drupad2drupad:
No, there isn't one.

Landscape support *may* be available with 7.8 or 8 but "all landscape" possible don't think may be possible.

I've managed to compile an over clock kernel based on the Galaxy S3's overclock code.

I'm working on ironing out the bugs and will post the kernel and source then but for now here are some antutu benchmarks.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] krabappel2548:
Are you sure you edited the code correctly? 1728MHz and only 7400 antutu seems a bit low to me.

I thought stock score was already around 7100 or so
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] tilal6991:
Yeah stock is 7100. That's the other screen shot. I'm looking at the code. I think some of the voltages are a bit wrong which is why I haven't released the code or kernel yet.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] krabappel2548:
Oh ok :) I haven't looked at the code yet, but I'm going to release an overclock kernel too :)

2) It seems very slow. Is that normal?

3) Can you access it through a rooted file manager like root explorer?

Thanks.

Thanks for any help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] m20120:
I did not do anything special. I did not even know about the bonus until it happened. I simply used the dropbox app on my phone to connect to my existing dropbox account. Shortly after that I received an email telling me about the bonus.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GTOJim:
Got it to work but later found the e-mail. I had to install dropbox onto a second computer to qualify.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] amahabir:
Don't forget folks that the S3 bonus space is only temporary. Just wanted to remind you guys of that. So if you intend to keep dropbox for all your cloud storing needs be aware it is only for about a year or two. After that I believe you would have to become a paying customer or loose the bonus storage. The S3 bonus storage is like forty something gigs from what I can remember. Sorry I don't have the specifics but you can check from your account online and see how much it is and when it expires.

An alternative if you need storage for your pics and vids is photobucket. It automatically uploads pics and vids, dropbox only does pics as of now, and you get unlimited storage with no expiration.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] m20120:
The bonus is for two years. I figure that by then I will either be buying s new phone (and hoping a similar deal is on) our that there are other options.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
Gotta figure by that time cloud storage will be dirt cheap

Hi,

I am sorry to post such question but I am not allowed to post in proper thread due to be new here,

due to generally accepted rules I am not alowed to post images too, so you have to believe me :)

I have this configuration:

gt-s5830i

s5830ixxla1

2.6.35.7 rafael@baugis201210091141

MindCr rom v2.1 bglh4

when I use CIFS manager with parametr iocharset=utf8 I am not able to mount network share but without parametr iocharset=utf8

mounting is possible.

So here is my questions:

Is it in kernel 2.6.35.7 rafael@baugis201210091141 utf8 support included ?

CifsManager works only after "manual" loading cifs.ko (via insmod)

I think that solution is in loading another kernel modul nls_utf8.ko.

Is it possible to compile 2.6.35.7 rafael@baugis201210091141 with nls_utf8.ko to for completing the function of cifs mounting ?

Is possible to point me for download proper nls_utf8.ko to solve my problem ?

Thank you very much

[EVO 4G General] simplyAKM:
blah...okay so I got my flashed evo (to boost) about a week ago...

i activated it...all that jazz and everything seemed okay. Then I noticed that my signal was HORRIBLE. if the 3g was there, it was greyed out and so were the bars.

so for a few days I went around thinking it needed to be reflashed and was all worried and mad and then yesterday at the doctor i noticed I had PERFECT signal. texts came and went like nobodys business...internet worked great.

the thing is, i have great boost and sprint signal at home. Other people with boost, sprint and virgin mobile all get great service here.

So...I have updated prl, and profile god knows how many times in hopes that it would help. I did it yesterday at the doctors office thinking maybe when i got home id stay connected or something.

I changed my evdo to cdma hda only and that helped tremendously. but it wont stay. it goes back to auto all the time. I did some other changes but i dont want to get in trouble for posting them here so if you want some more info, PM me.

I cant have a non-working phone. but I am in a dilemma because the guy that flashed it is a complete douche. complete. he told me i was looking too hard into the problem and the phone just needed to be reflashed. I told him I thought maybe a bit of the antenna we being weird or broken and he said theres no way (im not an idiot) I have been searching and searching, along with my husband for a week now...I keep finding bits and pieces of people with SIMILAR problems but i cant find the exact one. Which is why I am posting this. I have contacted many other flashers and have heard lots of different things. But i really do think that its just a small fix that I can do if someone knows the issue i am having.

So if someone would like to help me...that would be super awesome and wonderful of you.

I realize I do not have much knowledge but I have been reading for so long and not finding an answer that I thought it would be alright to ask and not get people all irritated on the forum.

Thank you all,

ashley

EDIT: just figured out that my phone isnt rooted....at least as far as i can tell. I downloaded terminal emulator and typed su by the $ and it didnt # just did another $. I also tried to use the MSL reader app (first to see if 000000 was really a good password for ##3282#....) and it asked if i was sure my phone was rooted...and that made me check with the TE...so....does this pose problems when it comes to 3g not working well? or would rooting it make it easier to fix?
[Android Apps and Games] peterperfect:
Hi there.

You know TeamBBQ is the couple of bad ass people behind the development of several utilies to assist and enhance experience for CyanogenMod users.

Today we annouce the birth of a new apk and also a new structure to integrate all that we have. We are very proud to show you BBQTools. Our member XploDWilD worked really hard on this one and im pretty sure you will love it.

Main Features :

Verify if you are up-to-date with your CyanogenMod release

Download the latest rom directly

pause/resume download (a first on this kind of program)

See if GApps are up-to-date and download updated ones

See changelog from Github AND gerrit (another first)

See general/kernel/radio changelog and upload them directly on the web

Have a tutorial section and a FAQ

Our team of expert answer question you ask

Access cyanogenmod statistics

Flash .zip package directly from the application

Wipe cache/dalvik from the app

Fix permissions in background

reboot into recovery

And more!

Do I really need more reasons to convince you to go and get it? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.bbqdroid.bbqtools&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy5iYnFkcm9pZC5iYnF0b29scyJd

Not convinced yet? Surely it will not end here. I will give you a little spoiler: we are working on a mobile and web rom bakery for AOSP custom ROMs and in a near future we will push that red BUILD button into BBQTools. Can you imagine you making your own nightly? Select project > select patches > press build > get notification > automagically download and flash. We gonna make history.

As always, bug reports, feature requests and other comments are welcome.

Cheers,

TeamBBQ
