[Galaxy Note II General] Tidbits:
It's all about what do you do with it. Like what this guy mentioned. If I could compile on my S3/Note 2 I would never need my laptop/desktop anymore. Lol
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
All smartphones nowadays do " surfing the web,watching videos reading Ebooks/PDF" but it doesn't take a genius to know that the op ask it because of the unique size of the note.
[Galaxy Note II General] JulyDerek:
I have been using the Note 1 for nearly a year now. And I've practically stopped using my laptop.....
[Galaxy Note II General] sianzb0i:
For the usage you stated, yes. You might wanna get a 7" device if you are reading. U cant type with one hand but with both hands is fine.

The samsung tab 7 series is one such device u can make calls and have the big screen. I have not seen the actual note 2 but nexus 7 and GTab screens are nice for reading :)

Dear guys i would like to deliver my experience about this matter...

One year ago i brought the Note 5.3".once release that time i was using my new MacBook Pro 13.3" which i buy 2 months before the Note 5.3"

After while i brought the Note 10.1" this happend about 2 months from buying the Note 5.3"

After that from 5 days ago i got my new Note 2 5.5" once release in Egypt

What i want to say finally that during all this time i did not use my laptop for once almost a year and half and I'm not casual user i consider my self as very hard user.

Even at work I'm taking my Note 10.1" as the whole work stuff on it and the Note 2 is now my new closer friend i think the day is 24h I'm looking and touching the phone about 15h a day.

Last but not least

As many commented you will need the laptop in case of burning CD/DVD

And of sure to root the device once for life ( I'm not of those who like to change alot of rom )
[Galaxy Note II General] Erica Williams:
Well it depends upon the user in my opinion mobiles could not be replaced by laptops in any means but if someone uses laptops only for using social media or playing games then it will be better to have a cell phone as it is lighter and you can use it weather you are in a taxi or walking :)
[Galaxy Note II General] concreteman:
I have the transformer prime, laptop, desktop.

Since I got the note2 A week ago, have not used transformer. I do use laptop but mainly for trying to fix other android phones.

Why does everyone keep talking about burning Dvd. Save to cloud or micro sd, you can use adaptor and put micro sd into Dvd player.

Have not burned Dvd or cd for about a year or more.
[Galaxy Note II General] vizographic:
Yes, yes it can. The gnotes format is perfect for casual web surfing and reading. It compares favorably to a small, extremely thin paperback, that also makes phone calls, take pictures, text family/friends and provide turn by turn navigation. In short, it is the travelers dream. With good data service, Bluetooth keyboard, and mouse. It has replaced my 7" tablet and older laptop, but I am nearsighted. If you're farsighted a larger 7" tablet or even a 10" in landscape might be worth the extra trouble. I often find myself sitting in front of my pc while surfing on the gnote. That rarely happened on my smaller captivate. The difference that extra visual space can make has to be experienced to be believed. I fully intend on a gnote 2 upgrade; based solely on my years experience with the extended functionality of the original. It's much, much more than a big phone. :cool:

Guys can anybody tell me how is the movie watching experience on note II?I hav a s3 and i found it too small to watch a movie plus surfing web on a 16:9 ratio narrow sccreen is a big pain for me.So how does the 16:9 ratio feel in note II than note 1"s 16:10?
[Galaxy Note II General] android88:
Maybe it could replace it for some of the time, but definitely not all of the time. Imagine having a laptop with a 5.5 inch screen. It is a little bit too small. It would be useful for watching Youtube, but definitely not good enough to replace your laptop fully. What would make it easier to use would be a wireless keyboard.

Definitely. My wife has a Note, and I have a S3, and the new Note 2, after trialing a friend's Note 2, we are considering switching.

The note takes care of most and beyond casual usage. Internet browsing, FB etc., doodling, games, reading books, traveling, maps etc.

only bother was battery (improved after Juice defender etc.). but the Note 2 has a 3100 battery. so drool :)
[Galaxy Note II General] cybot_x1024:
I was also thinking of getting the note 2, loading it up with ubuntu and using it as a laptop replacement. I have a Dell Inspiron 17R Special edition which has proved to be very heavy to carry around.

At the very least I will load up teamviewer on it if I can't manage to get wine to work
[Galaxy Note II General] masber2000:
Will you be able to write notes/comments on .pdf files with the stylus? This is an important feature for me.
[Galaxy Note II General] DeoreDX:
I don't think it will totally replace a laptop for me, but as the OP said for casual use I can see myself using my laptop a lot less than I did before. I will need the laptop/desktop for movie ripping, photo editing and storage, and more serious internetting because sometimes it is just more efficient to browse the web on a laptop. I'm stilll waiting for my Tmo variant here in the states but when I do get it I imagine it will replace my 7" Tablet for me. I travel quite a bit overseas for work. I am forced to carry a 17" Workstation class laptop because of my job which is pretty locked down by my company so in the past I used to lug around a personal laptop for games internetting and movies while on the road. Then it went from laptop to Netbook. Then it went from Netbook to iPad. Then from iPad to a 7" Galaxy Tab. I see the convergence of my 7" tablet and my phone so now I can replace both my HTC Sensation and Galaxy Tab with one device.
[Galaxy Note II General] DeRock13:
I only get on my PC when playing on my Xbox to look something up if my phone is charging on the other side of the room. The only other time I turn it on is to load music to my phone or edit photography.

I use my Note for everything otherwise. Job-hunting and I need to tweak my resume? Polaris Office.

I have a Bluetooth radio in my car, no need to burn discs. In fact, I've stopped pirating music and buy from Amazon mp3 directly on my phone. This phone replaces my everyday use 90% of the time. I can wait to get the Note 2 to have that bump in performance.

[Galaxy Note II General] Techngro:
Why can't it replace an iPad? It's gonna replace my Kindle Fire, which I use for reading/web browsing, bathroom time, and some light gaming (Wordfeud, pissed pidgeons, etc.). I assume that's what most people use their iPads for too?
[Galaxy Note II General] hobsan:
just saying

for those that already have a laptop, note two will be a nice addition. but i prefer to use laptop to do my daily work. but in seminar or something like that, note will be usefull.
[Galaxy Note II General] Deaj:
For the stated use I would say yes - the Note 2 would make a handy alternative. I've already voted yes with my wallet. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] phrozzy:
Hi guys,

i'm trying to run Android with modified kernel (based on DuMOHsmol RageKernel) on Sony Xperia Mini (ST15i) with GingerBread 2.3.4. My focus is to create a linux board without attached display.

When i try to detach touchscreen from mainboard, everything goes fine. But, when i try to detach video controller flat cable, the kernel reboots giving access to adb shell for few seconds, so reboot again and so on in a loop. This happens if i detach cable and subsequently turn on the phone. If i detach video cable when android is running, no reboot happens. On Samsung phones, if you detach video from mainboard PCB the system runs fine, without reboots. This behavior doesn't happen on ST15i.

I have checked for kernel panics but nothing. I'm trying to find the entry point for the reboot in the kernel source but i'm not very skilled on linux kernel, so my question is: is a big deal to change kernel sources to avoid this "reboot loop situation" when display is detached or is a small fix ?

I'm trying to hack video drivers (kernel/drivers/video/msm/mddi_sony_s6d05a1_hvga.c and mddi_hitachi_r61529_hvga.c, mddi.c etc...) to avoid reboots, but i was not lucky.

Anyone can help me ?

Thanks guys!

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kamarush:
Just one question; Why this is good for you? :D

Btw. the best what you can do is UART debug, to see what causing the reboot.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ScatteredHell:
Did u do it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] phrozzy:
This is good for me because i need to insert the motherboard without display in a litte box. Detaching display also provide better battery life.

Can you explain me how to do UART debug ? I need to find UART pins in the ST15i motherboard ?

I'm looking kernel messages with 'dmesg' but i can't find any reboot cause.

Thanks!

View ROM thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1899615

For me it's a great ROM, it's fast and stable. THANK YOU marcin1147!!!

But it has one nasty bug that seems to have not been fixed in a long time: Captured pictures and videos are rotated.

What i did is take an older camera.apk (from phiexz's CM 7.2 20120421- Nightly; Thank you phiexz!!!) and replace the original one.

Download here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/p666az1ed9lpfo2/Camera.apk

Copy the downloaded camera.apk to your SDcard.

I used Link2sd to remove the original camera app.

Then with file manager navigate to SD card and install downloaded camera.apk

Use link2sd to make system app (so not to uninstall by mistake).

Reboot.

Enjoy!

You can also replace the camera.apk in the zip before installing the rom.

I posted here because i can't yet post in dev section. If someone wants they can move this to ROM thread...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Thomas vdb:

This fix has only one downside... Has the bug of ignoring turning off shutter sound. Is there any chance there will be another release with none of the two bugs? I mean rotation and shutter sound bugs.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] hermandroid:
Probably yes, AFAIK marcin is preparing to make it official, offcourse it will bug free
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Thomas vdb:
Actually for me it's already bugfree .. i installed camera patch and that the FM radio is not working i don't care (never use it ) haha :) but it will be cool if we have official .. just that feeling xD
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] mikicz:
I agree that this build is pretty cool. For me FM radio is not a issue, I do not use it. After replacing launcher with stock one and some personal tweaks it is by far best rom I ever used on GIO. So if this little bug with camera is fixed, I will be fully satisfied.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] hrkh83:
Hi

Press and hold these three keys all together for at least 5 seconds:

Volume Down + Volume Up + Power Button!

I think this is very useful for those who have cover (specially silicon cover which

is hard to remove) and also in some ROMs (I don't want to name them) after

some times it become unresponsive and pressing the power key doesn't turn

on the screen.... but still you can receive and answer calls! Now with this method

you can restart your phone without removing the battery in seconds!:good:

Update

Several days ago my mobile hanged pretty badly after a phone call!

The screen was off and the proximity sensor's led was constantly blinking!

I tried to restart my phone with this method and it didn't work!

So I had to pull my battery!!!!

It may not work in some cases.. but it was the only time it let me down!

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] hrkh83:
Dear Maxy!

Please hold all three (Volume down + Volume Up +Power) buttons all together for 5 seconds or more

Nothing happened? Again press and hold all three for 10 seconds...

It should work...

I have tested it on a custom ROM (ICS Build 8 & 9) and it works....

I don't know whether it works on stock ROMs or not? I'd be happy if someone could confirm this.

If it doesn't work, please tell us what ROM you are using....

Thank you in advance!
