Gonna pick mine up at local sprint corp. store tomorrow....looking forward to it...

Verizon took too long so gonna jump ship....I would rather took AT&T version cuz of the hspa+ but not out until 9th or so...I am so impatient so here I can SPRINT!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] trim81:
Why not tmobile.?

I'd at least wait for attt...

If you have the option, don't do sprint.

I am on sprint network, and their data is slowwwww.

Don't come to sprint if all possible
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mofoliar:
Tmobile only has 2g where I am at.... On the AT&T yes the data better than sprint but unlimited is more important...

I am will try it and c how it works, if no go return it and just wait...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] trim81:
Yeah. You always have the return.

But I'm on sprint network, and believe me, I get like 300kbps here in los Angeles area.

I can barely load google maps and not wait for it to load.

Don't go to sprint if you can avoid it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] shook187:
Dude if you get slow ass 3g it doesn't mean every one else does too. My 3g is fine besides for video streaming.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] a454nova:
Thank you. Lets not make this like the S3 forum where its 96% hate. More important things to talk about. Everyone knows until Sprint brings Network Vision in, some places have sloooow 3G. They are on XDA now.

'Dude'

I have facts to prove my statement

http://www.dailytech.com/Sprint+is+Biggest+Loser+in+Nationwide+3G4G+Speed+Test/article24494.htm

Regardless, I'm not backing any cell network up. To each his own.

I will agree to disagree and move on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] shook187:
My service is fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mofoliar:
I know they are slow, but i just cant wait... I am the worse at wanting something and not watiting... I do have the return window... I know the att faster network but not interested in limited data... I dont have that much $$ to go get it full cost or i would....

Few of my friends have sprint up here and they are happy... so let go SGNII

I love this phone, but i have 2 gripes that i cant seem to find answers too. And 1 option that i cant seem to find

Does anyone know how to make the screen stop turning on every time i receive a text? That function is killing my battery because after the screen turns on my legs keeps it on.

When composing mail in the email client, the font suddenly increase to the "Large". Anyway to make it tiny while composing a message? Reading is not a problem because it has the option to adjust the font size.

Where is the Hand writing to text option in s-notes? Found it, it was in a different location then the S3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mofoliar:
Well picked up my sgn2 yesterday,like it lots...the sprint service is not bad streams it fine over bt on DVD head unit....that's the only thing that concerned me...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] theoner1:
^^^^ this everywhere is terrible. Where im at streaming over 3g is fine and something lte (best of both world).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mentalcase87:
I have followed this phone since the first rumor a second might come out surfaced. I was so damn excited for it the day it was coming out and I still haven't gotten my hands on it! I am on sprint right now but don't want to get it from a sprint store because I am heavily thinking about switching to verzion on my company plan. So if I go to a sprint store there is nothing I can do to get out of the restocking fee. I want to be sure I will love this phone since I will not be able to upgrade for 2 years, so I am kinda looking to trial it but I am tight on money right now so a 30 dollar loss isn't something I can do right now. If I get it from bestbuy I know I am able to return it without issue and switch to verzion if I decide that's the route I want.

I know some people are against that logic, but there are reasons bestbuy and such doesn't have restocking fees now. With the phone already 300 I don't want to end up spending close to 400 because of the tax and the lose of 30 on the previous return. Or end up at a loss of 30 for having just not loved the phone and it running at 300. I am also fine with the price, I think this phone well warrants that cost.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mofoliar:
I agree, sometimes it happens that way... I was at Costco today I totally forgot they carry sprint or I would of picked it up there!(not released to the until 11th or so)...I would of loved to get it from them a 90day return and get extra goodies with it as we'll,so that might be another opinion for u and I regret buying would of just waited for a week... But now I don't really want to loose the restocking fee either...and would of saved 36 on activated too....Oh we'll it's a kickass phone,happy with it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Paiyne:
Anyone who has purchased the Note 2 live in a low signal area or had low or slow signal or data speeds in home with previous devices having trouble with this on the Note 2?

I am currently on the GS2 and constantly have 2 or less bars of signal in home and horrendous data speeds while inferior devices (Replenish/OG Evo) run circles around my phone.

I'm just trying to get an idea of what to expect once I get this beast home! :D

I plan on getting the titanium grey one from Best Buy. I would prefer the 32gb vs the 16gb as I have a 16 SGS2 with a 32gb class 10 card and have filled it up several times. I like the way the white one looks but I'm afraid it will yellow when the phone heats up. I've been eligible for a upgrade since September 1st. I can't wait (well obviously I can but I die a little inside each day I have to wait) :D

Sweet, just got mine in one try. They moved me 7 months ahead. I have 5 lines for 5 years and I did mention I didn't want to switch providers unless I had to.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jed Dignazio:
So it seems that moving apps to SD is not supported in JB?? Others are reporting this issue.

"The ability is taken out in devices launched with ICS/JB, devices updated to ICS/JB still have the ability to move apps to SD it seems"

I think you can still do it if your rooted though with Link2SD . Anybody else care to chime in??

May make me change my mind about the 16GB version.

But still, Im pretty sure 16 is plenty of room for Apps!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] twospirits:
Nice seeing this thread.

I still have two Photons plus a trifi hotspot still on Sprint. I gave up my back up phone (the Hero) to get the Note 1 on AT&T since they were the only ones with it at the time. Loved it ever since but really did not like AT&T. But I am so much going to drop them like a hot potato and get this beast on Sprint. Sprint even accepts the Note 1 as a buy back device (same thing with Samsung and Best Buy) Once back on Sprint the cycle will then be complete. I'll be getting two of them (one for me and one for the spouse) they will be replacing the photons as Sprint is also buying back those two. And although NYC does not have LTE at the moment, parts of the city do have it and I feel by years end.

Accessory wise, I am going to get teh folio covers and I already have my 64GB sd cards all lined up and although there is no longer the ability to move apps to the sd card, there are a few hacks here in xda that will allow it, so rooting is top priority for me once I get it.. Oh and a extra charger for work/travel.

My only fear is that Sprint only said available on the 25th, but doesn't really specify if its a pre-order date or actually in stores date. The previous S3 release notes specified both a pre-order date and availability date as well as numerous other memory options, 16, 32, etc. This one did not. and although I really want to get the 32 or higher version, but I guess the 16 will do.

Now the only hard decision left is whether to get it in white or Grey. I already have a Note 10.1 in white, but everything is talking about the titanium grey as really nice looking.

No point to get more than the 16GB model, IMO. I have a 64GB card, 80GB of DB space (130GB once I activate this phone), 50GB on box.net. I think I've got more storage than I know what to do with lol

Call and threaten to cancel. I got mine moved without having to even do that. It's hit or miss with them, but I also have 5 lines, been with them 10+ years.

I've asked for it to be made, hit up my Senior Moderator friend too. No word yet. Let me ruffle some feathers :p

I just called sprint and they said that it will be available for purchase, not pre order on the 25th. I also asked a buddy of mine that is a district manager for t-cellular which is a third party seller for sprint and he said he would actual have the phone for sale. Not sure if that is accurate though, because best buy had no clue.

Well AT&T preoreder date is 10/25 but wont be available until 11/9, so I'm not even sure if Sprint will even get it 2 weeks earlier. Since my upgrade eligibility isn't umtil 11/1 I can careless anyway. It's not point paying ETF just for getting it one week ahead at best.

Note 2 Reserved at Corp Store

Hi All, just went to my local sprint store and one of the associates let me purchase a $50 gift card to reserve my note for tomorrow. The girl on the phone had no problem with giving that info, even saying their shipment would be in at noon. The problem i have, is the other girl that ive talked to several times and likes to act everytime that she's never heard of galaxy note whaaat? She came up to help and i told her i wanted to put down for a note 2 and of course, same blank look and says, sorry we cant do that. I said i spoke to someone earlier and all of sudden she was ringing me up a gift card and supposedly adding me a list that didnt exist a minute before. These people need a uniformed front, if i was just looking at becoming a sprint customer, i wouldve run for the hills given all the misinfo she tried to feed me each time i talked to her.

Anyway, im pumped, hope my copy is waitn for me tomorrow morning and i hope you all get yours! :D

I have a June 1st 2013 eligibility upgrade too so I called Sprint. They said I have to pay $125+$299 for the Note 2 AND trade in my old phone for whatever price the corporate store is going to give me. I do not want to turn in my S2 for $80 or whatever the corporate store is going to give me. Then I remembered I have an old POS Sanyo Sprint flip phone whose battery dies after 5 minutes of talk time. Going to activate that phone tonight and walk into the corporate store with a smile and see how much I am going to get for that phone and walk out with a Note 2 if they have any in stock:victory:.

You don't have to give them your phone. I called about an early upgrade, mine was in November, and they did it without the charge on the second call, because it was only a week.
