Why do you need to ask others if it's too big. Only you can answer that question. Everybody will have their own different opinions and in the end you'll still have to make up your own mind. Is it too big for you?

Another question comes to mind. When people buy skinny jeans to go with their iPhone, do they feel the need to poll the public if they look too tight? People who buy/wear skinny jeans should expect them to be tight. (I call them nut huggers... hence why people tend to wear them low). Anyways, if you buy a big phone its a big phone. simple. My gf has a big (.)(.) and a big ( ! ) but I knew that going into the relationship. Thats what I like so I went for i and I'm happy.

To wrap this up, only you can make that decision bro. You dont need to ask for others' opinions because we all have different taste and use our phones differently. This is why people should not just follow what other people think because you end up with a phone based on what others think whe. makingng your decision.. Thats the wrong way to decide. Personally I dont think its too big. it's supposed to be big for a reason. I'd keep it.

Haha nice. I've actually seen more women with the note then men. I bought my phone from a girl actually...

OP, people are buying it because its big. That's like saying "hey, does the galaxy mini seem small?"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kiss12114:
too big

I think it's too big to be a cell phone and too small as a tablet :laugh:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Slap-Yourself :):
I haven't actually held a Note II yet, but do plan on going into a store here soon and playing with the demo and possibly purchasing it.... BUT I did mess around with a Note I and almost bought it until I caught wind of the GNII.... I can honestly say that phone seemed like it was built for my hands.

I second that. .But than I do not use it one handed. . I just wish I could find a car for it.

My contract is almost up and I've been looking at phones, both upcoming and current. I'm also on att now.

My current phone is the Samsung infuse and I've been using many ROMs on that device. I've been looking into the HTC one x+. It has amazing specs. Also the gnote 2 is incredible but it may be a lil too large for carrying around.

I've never had a HTC phone but I've heard the ui is a little bit different. Samsung has touchwiz, but that can easily be changed though flashing ROMs. Is HTC sense something that is a love hate type of deal? I'm sure the development support will be great to fix that.

Just wondering others input. Been researching.
[General Topics] Dr_Nacho:
In addition, from what I've read, the x+ doesn't have an SD card slot but has a 64 gig model. I use quite a bit of storage, but I'm sure the large model will be quite spendy.
[General Topics] pepe86:
I enjoy sense on HTC but I know some people hate it. Definitely don't think its the worst custom UI out there
[General Topics] Dr_Nacho:
Hmm. Is flashing a ROM pretty much the only way to get around sense?

Hey again, as usual i don't post something unless i feel that something is being left out or forgotten.

Nothing big but as you may know we xperia play verison or (CDMA) users are often forgotten in rom development. That's where i come in :D

i feel that the cdma xperia is neglected and does not much dedicated support. One example is GB roms. If you didn't know (or it does not affect you) when trying to install a R800i ROM to a R800x phone after the bootanimation you usually get stuck on a blank or slightly gray screen (depending on the rom makers theme.) It is VERY annoying and it is IMPOSSIBLE to get past it. But i have threw together a little patch for VERIZON CDMA USERS ONLY!!! that corrects this issue. to use is very easy.

just flash this zip immediately after flashing your GB rom of choice!! and boot

NOTE:a small FC will appear, THIS IS NORMAL! And then the verizon setup will appear. done!

Also: THIS DOES NOT FIX CDMA 3G/4G SERVICE!

THE PATCH IS FIXED AND READY TO GO!!

[Xperia Play Android Development] game_guy:
I'll have to try this out sometime. I just recently got MIUI installed onto my device (thanks to CosmicDan). I've always wanted to try the Gin2JellyBean ROM and the True Ancestor ROM. Thanks for this, I'll definitely try this out soon. :3
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
So is this a CDMA patch to allow any GSM rom to he installed then flash this patch and it will work? I spent months trying to get a working cdma patch but to no avail. Best I got was a the dialer wouldn't force close and it would attempt to make a call but would then just sit there. Ill have to try this out.
[Xperia Play Android Development] sewer56lol:
This thread holds my interest....

Finally some good developer fought of the other people and their inability to use ROMS.....
[Xperia Play Android Development] cj360:
No it doesn't fix cdma, I tried it with Dixperia. And it booted to show the homescreen and just sat there with "no network available." Up in the notification bar.
[Xperia Play Android Development] timour79:
If this works, YOU.ARE.AWESOME!
[Xperia Play Android Development] swebosdev:
Maybe you should read the op to see what this does. Clearly you did not
[Xperia Play Android Development] Selim873:
He made this to make GSM roms run on CDMA devices, the purpose of this patch, if I'm correct, is to help these GSM only developers develop for CDMA users, and wizard CDMA developers can take care of the signal, then make a full universal patch within the near future. That's my perspective.

I'm impressed either way! :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] DubleJayJ:
It took this long for this to be released? Surprised no one has done this yet for locked people. Good job!
[Xperia Play Android Development] cj360:
I thought he was asking if this fixed network for cdma, which your right it doesn't. But oh well I was wrong in my post :silly:
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Anyone else getting an error code when attempting to flash this? I get the "status 6"........ or am I missing something something and this is not supposed to be flashed?
[Xperia Play Android Development] cj360:
No I got the same thing. I took the files from his mod and added them to the rom I tested. I think the binary in the zip is bad but I'm not sure.

Sent from my Xperia Play
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
NOTE: this does not fix the network btw, this allows you to install GB roms
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Are you supposed to flash this file to any GB Rom you install? As I noted above when I attempted to flash of gives me the error code Status 6.
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
hmm that's weird i'll take a look.
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
ok i see what you mean. its a script error on my hand. i am fixing and reuploading now
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
Ok just fixed and re uploaded the zip, it works now! :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Xperia Player:
Just to clarify... this DOES NOT allow me to use the phone features of a GSM rom on my CDMA device right? It just fixes the phone from freezing when flashing certain GB roms correct?
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
yes this ONLY allows you to install any gsm rom on our cdma phones no network
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Just tried to instance the system.sin for a stock SE based rom and got kobworking homescreen. Just a tip though flashing true ancestor the rom works out the door without the need to flash this patch but again nobworking phone functions and none of the aokp, ft5, cyanogenmod cdma patches work. So if you just want a working device with no phone functions then the true ancestor works out the door no need tobflash this patch.
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
One of the main reasons I made this patch is because I can install true ancestors rom...

Beamed from XDA Pro (R800x)
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
You have always been able to use true ancestors rom you just wont get phone function.
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
must have a personal issue with me then...
[Xperia Play Android Development] chery2k:
Yo mario i too had trouble installing true ancestor rom hopefully with ur patch i can.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzuneoj:
I think the OP should have a note to clarify that this doesn't fix CDMA cell service on GSM ROMs.
[Xperia Play Android Development] chery2k:
I disagree and why bother most of the GSM roms support a 2.3.4 kernel anyway. And CDMA doesnt have a working 2.3.4 kernel yet. Plus with this patch at least boot into a GSM rom.
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzuneoj:
There are many that visit this site that don't know these things. I'll admit, when I first started coming here I wasted a lot of time flashing ROMs\Kernels that were not going to work because so many new threads leave out some very basic yet extremely important information, like if a ROM is meant for CDMA phones or not.

I don't see why there would be any downside to adding one sentence that could save people from wasting hours fiddling with ROMs that aren't going to provide cell service. Just speaking from personal experience.
[Xperia Play Android Development] darkharbinger81:
Hdy guys where is the download link? I would like to.try this
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
OK, I've read this a couple of times now. Am I correctly interpreting the op that all this does is allow R800x users to install a ROM intended for an R800i without getting stuck at the boot screen? Period. Doesn't make it work any better on a CDMA phone, just lets it boot. Excuse me, but what would the point of that be, exactly?
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Hey net, haven't seen you for a long time. Not to flame on the OP but I have tried this on about 5 different roms and for me of didn't make any difference. True ancestor for me had always booted but you don't get phone functions.
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
I have taken it down temporarily to fix a bug, i will re up-upload it after i figure out something.
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
Point being that every time i install ANY GB ROM I get stuck on a blank screen after the xperia bootanimation, on the Xperia play R800X( verizon-CDMA) and no one know what it is so i found out what it was and fixed it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Solar.Plexus:
What was it?

Also, I had no problem booting the Gin2JB ROM on my R800x without the patch.
[Xperia Play Android Development] darkharbinger81:
Ok thanx fir the heads up bud hooe ti see this patch up soon
[Xperia Play Android Development] darkharbinger81:
To solar plexus is yir bootloader unlocked?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Solar.Plexus:
Bootloader is unlocked. Although I do believe it worked fine with stock kernel as well as Lupus now.
[Xperia Play Android Development] darkharbinger81:
Really? That would be sweet on cdma the gin2jb rom
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
the issue was that the CDMA phone needed the VZWSetupWizard.apk instead of SEMC setup wizard.apk to finish the setup, some roms dont need it (mainly the new ones) some do
[Xperia Play Android Development] darkharbinger81:
I still have that apk backed upbin titanium send me the link and ill givit it a shot Mario
[Xperia Play Android Development] Solar.Plexus:
So the vzw app is necessary for the r800x to boot?
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
well it seems to be only required on Gingerbread roms. anything above can boot on its own.
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
OK the patch is ready, tested and does all it's intended to do! Download it on the First Page

this patch has really helped me!
[Xperia Play Android Development] HwaA18:
have you fully tested it, on multiple phones? and have you tried multiple roms? does it allow data or network?
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
Only virtual and my Xperia play, and i tried it on dixperia, trueancestor and NXT. + it's safe all it does is removes the sony setup and places the verison setup
[Xperia Play Android Development] HwaA18:
Does it allow data?
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
Nope as stated here.
[Xperia Play Android Development] :
I'm curious, what exact NXT rom did you try? I've tried installing a few diff ones but they fail to actually install.

--------------

NM i think the failures have something to do with TWRP. Your patch wont work with it either. Some issue to do with the binary script is what I'm reading.

-------------

Workaround: boot (don't flash) another loader with cwm to install. aka: fastboot boot boot.img (This lets you keep your current bootloader in tact)
[Xperia Play Android Development] XDM inc:
if your using turbo multiboot kernel you have to flash zip in CWM recovery not TWRP, and i haven't tried this on a slot 2 or above GB rom, it may need to be multiboot aware?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Lordomn:
the way I got the patches I was using to work with turbo kernel was if you remove the set_perms from the patches updater script & replace them with the ones from the ROM you are flashing helped me...

"We are the fire that will consume them, belly and bowel, head and heart, many flames of us, but one fire."
[Xperia Play Android Development] DubleJayJ:
I checked this patch, and it didn't have any set_perms. So just copy ALL of them from NXT Gaming?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Lordomn:
yes just add it after

set_progress(0.375000);

then you should be good.

"We are the fire that will consume them, belly and bowel, head and heart, many flames of us, but one fire."

Welp ****. I took it to Rogers but since I bought it off of kijiji they couldnt do anything. It was bought on October 2nd and they said I couldnt even send it for repair because it wasnt registered to me.

I called Samsung and they said to ship it for a repair but even if they can't repair it, they couldnt replace it. The lady said she would have to tell Rogers to replace it but Rogers already said they wouldnt.

What do?

What did you do?

Did you actually get it from the Rogers store? Because when you do they can issue replacements but when you buy it from somebody else they said that they couldn't do it.
