[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwilkins:
I have read many reviews on the Note 2 and most say it can’t be easily used with one hand, although there are few that say it can. These reviews do not go into any detail about what kind of activities you can do one handed and which require two hands. For instance; can you scroll through email messages and open them to read with just one hand, but perhaps not easily type a reply? I do understand the size of your hands has a great deal to do with this.

My current phone is an HTC One X, prior to that an iphone 4S, and before that a BB Bold. Moving up in size to the One X prevented me from doing some of the one handed activities I did with my previous 2 phones, but there are many things I still do one handed with the One X. Launch apps, read messages, browse the web, scroll screens, check notifications, etc. The main thing I find myself needing two hands for is typing. I can still send out a very short message one handed, but it’s slow and I usually make a mistake or two. I should point out that I have relatively small hands and a lot of the time I’m using the HTC one handed I have it resting in my palm and I’ll maneuver it up or down slightly to reach the function I want. I know this could cause me to drop the phone, but I haven’t yet and I’m willing to risk it. I’m wondering if the increased size of the Note 2 would eliminate most of the one handed use I currently enjoy on the HTC One X

So, my question is, for those of you that have the Note 2 can you share what some of your experiences have been using it one handed. What kind of activities and functions can you perform on the Note 2 with one hand, what kind of tasks always require two hands?

It’s tough for me to believe you must have two hands on the phone at all times; as some of the reviews have suggested.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
I reckon it'll still be the same as the HOX but a bit more fumbling it around. I've played extensively with the original note as my cousin has one and wasn't too much of an issue.

With typing I can use Swiftkey perfectly one handed with my HOX although Swype is useful for one handed operation.

Like you I tend to jiggle the HOX around now and then. With the Note 2 being less wide it shouldn't pose too many problems compared to the original.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ariozo:
Was tje first tjing i notice when i got my note2, on note1 i sometimes had litle hard witj "A" with my thumb and one hand. But one note2 it feels mutch more easy write all letters on the keyboard..:)

And i like use my devices witj one hand most of tge time, i dont text like many with 2 hands.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenoism:
Well, I imagine that it really depends on how large your hands are. Certainly someone with smaller mits would have a harder time handling the device with one hand than an individual with lager ones. I'd suggest try and get your own hands on one and try it out for yourself, because second hand advice doesn't help too much since hand sizes differ from person to person.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saadi703:
No way note 2 can be use with one hand. For typing one need two hands and so was on my S3 and 4S before so nothing much has changed. One hand use is just a myth. Gone are the days of one handed use. Smart phones are no longer for one handed use. Even iPhone has back button located on top left corner and with one handed use thumb can not reach there comfortable. It is just a myth now and there is no real one handed use on most new smart phones.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crazypinoy9:
Actually, one-handed use is not a myth.

On the GN2, Samsung added an option in the settings called One-Handed operation. You can have the phone setup to have the keyboard or dial pad on the left or right side of the screen.

Plus, the back button on the iPhone isn't the only way to get out of the program. There's a home button for that too right? And most people can use one hand on the phone to operate it. I've used the Gnexus, Xperia Arc S, Nexus S as well as the EVO 4G with one hand no problem and I have small asian hands :)

I've attached a screen shot... ;)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwilkins:
It seems quite silly to suggest that using a cell phone one handed is a myth. In my original post I asked specifically what kinds of things you could use the Note 2 for with only one hand. It’s clear you can’t do everything one handed, but certainly you can do some things. For instance, you would be able to pick the phone up and unlock it with one hand, right?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiahnlliya:
Oh yes you can pick it up and unlock it with one hand, no problem. I have small girly hands though and I really don't handle my Note II onehanded like at all. Mostly because it feels very unstable for me to handle it onehanded, I'm afraid I'll drop it.

I'd say if onehanded use IS important to you, you should look at some other phone, that's my view.

For example, I find it mighty cumbersome to pull down the notification bar and then slide it back up using one hand. I CAN do it, it's a matter of sliding the whole device up and down in my hand, but it certainly feels unsafe and wobbly.

Actually I am sure I will drop this phone at some point, and usually I don't drop my phones ever. With the Note II I really feel it's inevitable.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylec:
I just got the note 2 and I still have my one x.

I can do most of my navigating one handed. I can type one handed but for safety I use two hands.

It doesnt feel like too big of a difference to the hox, but if you foubd the one x to be a bit big in the hand, you may not be able to do a lot one handed on note 2.

But honestly, battery life alone is a reason to upgrade. Plus I love usong the s pen lol
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
I found it the same as you did it's not that much bigger compared to the HOX when I had a play with it.

As you have both how do you find the Gn2 screen compared to the HOX? For example on websites, general brightness and sharpness of text. I know how AMOLED displays are but generally speaking.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylec:
The HOX screen is crisper and brighter, but the gn2 screen does really well for an amoled. I find that the difference is only really noticeable when you zoom in on text in the browser for example.

The screen brightness is pretty good on the gn2, havent had any issues so far but I will see today now that the sun is out. Yesterday was a bit cloudy so I couldnt test outdoor screen visibility. :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmednabeel:
I use my note 2 with one hand it depends on ur hand size
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redhatter:
Oh bull..ive use ever phone ive owned one handed...but then again ive only got one hand...really your talking if you can hold in one hand and drive/type with same hand thumb..that is dictated by hand size vs phone size ....nothing more..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turbotab:
I could use my old note and a friend's "Galaxy Note 2" one-handed, but it never felt secure.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finalhit:
....so umm, what's your hand doing? :angel:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turilo:
I drive and txt on my note 2 with one hand! With ease, Then again I don't have girl hands lol
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crazypinoy9:
I can pretty much do everything with the gn2 one handed except type. But svoice and google voice typing seem to be pretty accurate in recognizing my words so I techically dont have to use my fingers to type. Just hit the send key. Fyi I posted this using google voice typing.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apwchan:
I don't have particularly big hands. But, I can manage to use the GN2 with one hand on majority of my day-to-day usage of the phone but with some modified gestures, eg. swipe down to bring the notification bar, double-tap to bring apps drawer, and with the already built-in Öne handed Operation mode typying is made easier with the Samsung 'swype-like' keyboard.

But as some of the other posters pointed out already, it really depends on the size of your hand.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
First time I saw a 60 year old guy with the Note 2 on the tube today he was using the stylus to play solitaire didn't look that big at all. Usually you'd see the size and be shocked I was quite in awe actually. Looked really good!

I'm comfortable using the HOX one handed, hmm tempted to order off Amazon and give it a test run.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] giorgi-alonso:
WOW, Niceee ;) Thankkks :)

whats about battery life, today I installed Leak ROM and battery was Too bad, So I reverted back to CM7 :) whats about this rom?? anyone tested battery??

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Tepoztecatl:
This ROM has just been posted. How could anyone have any idea of what the battery life is like? Please understand that everything you find in the next couple of days is going to be alpha. You flash at your own risk and you post bugs that you may encounter. You don't ask about battery life, you read the OP and decide if you want to TEST.

No, wifi should be working.

Should also be rooted.

I just have to say, you devs are absolutely awesome! I did the CWM install of the leak, and I'll wait a bit before doing this one, but in 24 hours, there's been so much done, I can't help but be impressed.

Thank you for the hard work!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] giorgi-alonso:
yap, I decide what I want, but it doesn't mean that I can't ask ;) and about battery life, when I flashed Leaked rom after one hour of use it was seem that battery life was worst than other roms ;)

And there I had another question too ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] damonsmith666:
Would I have to wipe data coming from the leak?

Probably not. But I can't say for sure.

I need some help guys.

On your internal and external sd cards there is a folder named logger which contains log files.

I may ask you to zip those files and PM me a link (Dropbox, whatever). But don't do that yet.

I need you to help me analyze those files to make sure there is no personal or location based information. I will be doing the same.

Just open the files as a text document and look for stuff like IMEI, GPS cooridnates, etc.

tegrapart=mbr:d00:100:800

It works pretty well. Some reboots here and there, a little bit of overheating (not a lot). HW acceleration works great, smooth quadrant 2d test etc.

Went back to old ICS without libs for now. I don't think it's about the tegrapart due to conflicting reports. I flashed the CWM part, no webtop.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] upndwn4par:
Thanks!

That is what I was worried about. Thanks!

I will probably only need the radio logs, but not sure yet.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aaurnab:
except reboot and battery drain issues this rom is a revolution.....
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jhonnyx:
Should check only on ICSROM or "that ICS rom"?. I'll flash ICSROM right away and report back the findings.

In "that ICS rom" sensitive info has been found into log.main, log.system and log.events (accounts, contacts for the moment)

I have q question. The Atrix is connected to my lapdock but it dosent show the webtop 3.0 interface... i flashed it so in the OP. It mirrors my phone but in wrong resolution. Thats a normal Bug ??
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vanilla2001:
Cpu spy says 1000MHz.don't know why antutu bench and cpu master says 1200MHz. I reduced clock to 1000 but antutu score stays same. Maybe a wrong detection by cpu master.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Fastrite:
I'm on CM10 right now but I will restore my ICSROM nandroid in 10 minutes and look.

I would say that I haven't had the garbled screen that you commented on?

How does that occur?

I've only had transitional tearing when scrolling home screens so far. between after trying my Lapdock previously

I wanted to try my HDMI output but the only HDMI display I have is my 28" CAD screen and the HDMI is borked, doh!

Back shortly.

Edit: I can't get the garbled screen to check your fix. Suggestions??

When I plug into my LD I get a bit of the display shown on the LD screen and the phone screen goes crazy flickering and jumping til I close the LD then I get the application restart info and get asked what sort of dock mode I want, (Grrr lapdock mode is the answer! :/)

Trying to fix my HDMI screen now!

AT&T Atrix 4G, with tegrapart=mbr:1100:100:800

Aside from little slugginess issues that come and go, and obscene battery usage compared to CM10, this ROM is VERY good. After abandoning other Blur- based ROMs and using ICS and JB-based ROMs, i had no idea HW acceleration made things way better. Works like a charm.

Modifications done to build.prop:

- ro.build.type=userdebug > ro.build.type=user (made it slightly smoother)

- ro.sf.lcd_density=240 > ro.sf.lcd_density=220 (made stuff smaller)

- ro.mot.deep.sleep.supported=true > ro.mot.deep.sleep.supported = false (enabled deep sleep)

- ro.mot.toggle.hotspot=true > ro.mot.toggle.hotspot=false (do NOT mistake with ro.mot.wifi.hotspot=1, doing so will make the phone go into boot crashes)

- ro.mot.btpan.disable=true > ro.mot.btpan.disable=false

- ro.mot.btdun.disable=true > ro.mot.btdun.disable=false

#ADDITIONAL BUILD PROPERTIES

- ro.camcorder.videoModes=false > ro.camcorder.videoModes=true (got rid of a bit of camcorder's lag)

- debug.mot.hprofdump=1 > debug.mot.hprofdump=0

Issues so far:

- Slow screen-on time

- Slow boot

- Phone gets hot

- Signal bars are too low when phone shows 4G, but get to normal on EDGE

- Notification sounds not working

Only thing i have disliked of AOSP ROMs is the boot-up logo, but that's up to me to change it :D

Will be trying it next week as a daily driver. I could've tried it last week, but needed a stable phone and lots of battery.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] coolnow:
Same, mine doesn't deep sleep either. Do you experience loads of reboots too?

Also, HW acceleration really makes this phone seem new. Everything feels sturdy and not flimsy like in other roms where scrolling would hang for a while etc
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aggrogade:
Issue

I have the AT&T Atrix 4G, with tegrapart=mbr:1100:100:800

Aside from little slugginess issues that come and go, the phone runs good

Modifications done to build.prop:

ro.build.type=user

ro.sf.lcd_density=200

the only main problem i have is that it does not route audio through the cardock or desk dock, it goes through the phone speaker, any ideas. This is working fine with both CM9 and CM10 roms.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] stewartsoda:
No deep sleep because your phone reboots every time it hits deep sleep. Thus, the reboots.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Starbomba:
I have had ONE random reboot in ~3 hours, and it was at boot (i've read that it can random reboot when mounting SD card)

I've been reading this thread, and i found many little modifications. The one that fixed the deep sleep issues is this one:

ro.mot.deep.sleep.supported = true > ro.mot.deep.sleep.supported = false

After editing it and a reboot, it is deep sleeping. I'm still getting the issues of it getting hot and battery duration, but deep sleep is helping.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ilkinansr92:
The red build.prop doesnt allow deep sleep its just shows up the option for sleep in power manu when you hold the power button
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Danikin:
oh sh..... theres no alarm clock app.

running great btw, only apn reboots bug
[Atrix 4G Android Development] coolnow:
Okay so we think deep sleep is causing some reboots. I also believe lots of continuous mobile data causes reboots too. Tested this by opening maps and making areas offline. I noticed once i started downloading the maps faster and faster, it'd eventually freeze and reboot. I think someone released a mod of a ROM with the mobile data lib switched out with something else. Apparently, it reduced/stopped "random" crashes but disabled all mobile data.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] upndwn4par:
New Version

v1.1

Removed more Motobloat

Disabled logging

Fixed broken wallpaper

Cleaned up build.prop and added some tweaks

Still has cellular data issues.

Power button wake more responsive.

Feels much more smooth and stable in general.

I am still getting the best results with the 100R radio.

I noticed earlier that someone mentioned notification sounds don't work. They work fine for me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BigJeff:
Have any of the devs made progress on the reboots? The disney dude's CM10 doesn't appear to have the issue but it's no were near as fast as the leaked ROM.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Starbomba:
Is it just me, or v1.1 lacks keyboard?

Just flashed over v1.0, did not wipe anything, considering the installer already does it.

Also lost wi-fi.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] chemo1191:
Did you flash the webtop?

Sent from my CM10 Kindle Fire
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lightlord:
That's OK if you don't have it garbled.Lucky you.

When I connect lapdock with closed lid it offers few dock options without dock. Only when I open the lid it adds webtop to the options. Screen is out of phase though.But on tv via HDMI screen was perfect. I cannot say webtop 3.0 is that bad it realty functions as tablet mode though.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Starbomba:
Will try that, i had actually formatted /osh, thinking it did not use it.

After restoring from Nandroid, reflashing webtop and reinstalling, it works again. Thanks :D
