[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sauron0101:
In my case, price is very close, but yeah the screen is a big attractor.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] robl45:
honestly i don't think you can compare these 2. galaxy s3 versus nexus 4 is more of a fair comparison. Either you want the big screen or you don't, really what it comes down to. The pen is nice too although I seriously doubt how much i'll use it. I believe samsung cameras are superior as well. and i'm sure its gotten better, but frankly stock android sucked to me when i tried it on froyo and gingerbread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] brashmadcap:
Apples and IEDs

You're comparing Apples and ****ing IEDs; Note is HUGE, wicked fast, polished up with TouchWiz and has the surprisingly useful S-Pen. Nexus devices are wonderful, and I've owned every single one except the two just announced... But you can pry the Note II from my cold dead hands because it is hands down, the greatest device on Earth today.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdt73:
Ya, I gotta agree, you are comparing two totally different products. While saying your movie collection will help you get over the fact that you will be stuck with 8 or 16 gb worth of space, over time, you will kick yourself for being stuck with 8 or 16 gb worth of space. 64gb microSD cards should be enough for you to stop making silly statements referencing your FLAC collection; it's a no brainer.

The S-Pen should be at the top of your list for a device that's centered around productivity. If you just want to watch movies, buy a tablet.

Long story short, CM10 and the rest of the ROMs are needed on devices... the Note 2 doesn't need them. Oh, and you forgot to compare battery sizes... probably something more important than any rom or even the microSD card slot. On the Note 2, it's glorious!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mysticfrog:
IMHO i need the sd slot by getting that phone i would have to revert back to ousting my iPod for music amongst the other things I've got on it.. can't do it... sides love the s pen.. this phone is awesome
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] seawolf823:
I would personally never buy the nexus 4 simply because it is made by LG and Samsung is far superior when it comes to smart phones. I upgraded my SGS3 to the Note 2 for the larger screen and the extras like the s-pen. Only thing that sucks right now is there are very few accessories for the Note at the moment but Seidio and Otterbox are in the works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mysticfrog:
You are exactly right.. I honestly don't see how i can honestly go to soothe device after I've had the note 2 i had a guy at work offer me 300 bucks and his white s3 I was like no!! Put the s3 on Craig'slist and get your own...the next phone i buy wool obviously be a note 3... What can i say I'm hooked...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bookburner:
I have to agree. The t889 is the way to go. I look at the nexus4 and it is very similar to my t989 with a updated soc and very slightly different size screen. Along with the whole stock android thing. I didn't really feel the need to upgrade to the s3 from my s2 especially since I don't like hardware home buttons. But the note 2 has got me desperately wanting out of my contract so that I can get it. Bigger better screen, s pen, removable battery and sdcard slot. And I don't know about the statement that the qualcomm Soc is better then the exynos they are probably very very close but I'd take the Mali gpu over the adreno any day of the week. If you really want a nexus device just get a 199$ nexus 7. It seems like a better deal then the nexus 4. But you probably wouldn't even use the 7 incher if you had the t889.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gwanatu:
I'm not sure what sort of crap people are talking on here and saying the Nexus 4 is crap, but that's an absolutely ridiculous statement. The SoC on the Nexus 4 is definitely faster than the Note II, but honestly Need for Speed Most Wanted is the only thing that doesn't run perfectly on the Note II (and even then we're talking a handful of frame drops that make no difference to gameplay). Most games aren't even close to being as taxing as NFS MW, so I wouldn't even worry about that. Games that usually slow phones down like Plight of the Zombie, and livewallpapers that do the same don't slow down the Note II at all. Everything runs perfectly on the phone.

As for features, it's really TouchWiz vs. stock Android. As nice as Android 4.2 is, the features in TouchWiz are unmatched, even though it can be extremely ugly. What's really nice about the Note II though is that there are already a lot of theming kitchens available, like this one, that make TouchWiz just a little less ugly by letting you customize icons and colors in the interface. Honestly after having the S-Pen features on the Note II, I'm not sure I could go back to any phone that doesn't have such features. It's one of the reasons I'll probably never run an AOSP based ROM on this phone. Of course AOSP has S-Pen gestures now, so there's no telling what the wizards here at XDA will do over time, but for now I bought the Note II for the S-Pen features primarily, and that keeps me from jumping ship from Samsung's stuff.

It's up to you. I'm getting my wife a Nexus 4 for Christmas because although she loves the Note II and the features, it's just a little too large for her. Plus I'd recommend a Nexus 4 over a Galaxy S III any day, but that's a whole 'nother thread. Get the Note II, you won't be sorry. It's by far the best phone I've EVER used.

---------- Post added at 08:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------

The Nexus 4 has a Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core and an Adreno 320. It's in a league of its own honestly. The only thing that truly competes with it is the SoC in the iPhone 5. Burns me that that's the case, but facts are facts unfortunately.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
Imagine a note 2 with a s4 pro :@
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] konceptz:
I think these devices have really different use cases.

One major draw back for me about the nexus 4 is the battery and SD card. I've owned every nexus devicedevice and while they are amazing devices, there always seems to be some (major)drawback.

This could be said about any phone.

For the note2, the Major drawback is the size, something that I'm OK with. Which is whyi won't be switching to the n4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] decalex:
I agree they're pretty different, but definitely not comparing apples and oranges (or IEDs). ..mainly because (for most), it's one or the other. They're going to serve the same purpose, even if in different ways.

I've been going crazy, back and forth btwn the two. I told myself I'd never get a non-nexus device again, but leaning more towards the NoteII now. The most important aspect for me now is the developer support. ParanoidAndroid has ruined my crackflashing escapades. I've never been on a ROM so long, and everything else seems weird now.

I hope PA comes soon. Aside from that, I worry about the N4's lack of storage/expandable storage which has seriously been a PITA on my Gnex. That BS from Duarte or another Googler about users not needing expandable memory is bs. And the cloud storage argument is ridiculous. Files commonly accessed get cached on the device anyway and take up space. (preaching to the choir). I'm less concerned about the LTE futureproofing, but it's definitely an issue as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssCISengineer:
The nexus 4 isnt going to be crap. There are many negative points for me regarding the nexus 4 versus the note 2 but it will not be a bad phone.

On another note. I haven't done any reading or researching on the matter, is the snapdragon really THAT much faster than the exynos? I didnt know such a disparity existed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kobe_No_Means_No:
I got the Note II because it has much better battery life than the new Nexus. My last phone was the Galaxy Nexus, a great phone, but I was always carrying an external battery with me or charging it in the wall. Compared to the galaxy nexus (and probably the nexus 4 and most androids out there), my experience so far with the Note II is that the battery life is about twice as good. With the Note II I can leave the bluetooth on, gps on, screen bright, and it's all okay for the day. It also charges super fast at 2amp. It took me longer to charge my Galaxy Nexus even though the battery was much smaller.

Wifi calling, removable battery, larger screen, SD card are nice as well. It seems Google doesn't update their OS that often anymore anyways. I had the Galaxy Nexus for a year and only had very few updates that barely improved anything (where as my Nexus S and Nexus One seemed to have had more significant updates.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssCISengineer:
The charging is pretty cool on the note 2. Ive never had a phone with such a huge battery that can chsrge so fast
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tigerz0202:
Funny thing is when I had my S2 all I heard is how crappy the snapdragon was and how great he Exynos was, now that the nexus has one all of a sudden its the best. Smh

the cwm version is v6.0.1.5, o, and the phone just restarts itself after awhile in cwm mode...

been stucked here all day, please help!

many thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DigitalJedi:
First off, a bunch of folks are going to probably chime in just to let you know that you should have posted in a different section. This isn't a dev subject.

Second, you need to ODIN a different recovery on there. CWM did something similar to me a month or 2 ago. I switched to TWRP and never looked back. I can't remember if I ODINed back to CWM 5.0.2.7 and flashed TWRP or if I found a version of TWRP that was installable with ODIN, but either way you can get it to work.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackwing182:
really another complaint in dev section, dude read the xda rules and then post in the right section.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kangelov:
Sounds like you need to do it all over again: flash recovery CWM 5.0.2.7 (not the latest!), and then run the Darkside Superwipe. Then flash whatever recovery you want, reformat System, Cache and Data with it one more time and then flash whatever ROM you want. Don't go back to stock, ODIN won't repartition your phone and this is what you need right now. Dark side to the rescue.

Be careful with recoveries, please! What you use does matter. I personally can't get a stable Jelly Bean flash on CWM 5.0.2.7, can't get TWRP to work reliably on any version, and CWM before 6.0.1.5 would always find creative ways to corrupt my phone the instant I install Jelly Bean. Your mileage may vary, but CWM 6.0.1.5 has been problem-free so far. Lots of people around here swear by TWRP, CWM or both, what I just said will probably get my lynched in the posts to follow.
[Asus Transformer TF700] polish_pat:
Wow, this device is a lot different from any other android device i've used. Rooting, unlocking, downgrading to unlock...bla bla bla.

Well i am really motivated to install clean rom and so far this is what i've done:

I was on officiel lock and unrooted JB. So i downgraded to ICS, unlocked it, rooted, installed CWM and usually, on any other device i would just flash any rom. But since asus are so freaking strick with their warranties, i rather look like a newb and ask then brick my machine.

So, on the pre-requesites of cleanrom it says

Bootloader: Official Asus Jellybean bootloader

Recovery: TWRP 2.3.1.0 or ClockworkMod 6.0.1.4

I'm not sure, but now that im unlocked and rooted on ICS, can't i just flash cleanrom from recovery or do i really need to be on JB bootloader. Also, since i walready was on JB, did i keep my JB bootloader or did i downgrade it at the same time i reverted back to ICS?

I'm sorry to be such a newb, but with my galaxy S3 i can pretty much do anything to it and i'm not scared a bit of bricking, its so easy to unbrick, but with the tf700, im stressed and rather take my time than rush it.

Thanks for the help!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Lol

Well Fortunately I have made that mistake for you.

It's best to flash clrom whilst on the JB boot loader.

I ran into problems when I flashed clemsyns kernel with clean on ICS.

Sooo yes CleanROM on JB.

Sent from the inside out...
[Asus Transformer TF700] danger-rat:
The problem is that clemsyns kernel requires the JB bootloader in order to work correctly. No risk, but it just won't get above 1.3 or 1.4 mhz because the voltage tables between the kernel and bootloader are incompatible.

Easiest way is to do a system restore with a stock JB image from the Asus website. You may lose custom recovery doing this, but since you are unlocked, you can then flash custom recovery via fastboot...

thank you guys, youve been veru helpful! +1
[Asus Transformer TF700] dc_01:
latest ICS bootloader

please allow me one question. as far as know, the bootloaders of latest ICS version .30 is equal to JB version .18. if so why is JB mandatory?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
They are not equal at all. The file size is rather different, and also the version number, which strangely changed from 2.10 to 1.00 in the newer version:

Android cardhu-user bootloader <2.10 e> released by "WW_epad-9.4.5.30-20120907"

Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "WW_epad-10.4.4.18-20121012"
[Asus Transformer TF700] polish_pat:
well, I've installed JB and now am runnin cleanrom. I love it! Its fast, snappy and does not lag like the stock rom. I've also installed Clemsyn's kernel but had to revert back to reinstalling cleanrom because I HATED the higher DPI and use DPI modder to reduce it back to 120 and then the tablet didn't want to get past Asus screen where it said "this device is unlocked"

I have higher DPI on this tablet, I thing the stock is perfect and I despise the fast that it comes with the kernel with no option to set it back. Unless I didn't find it. But is it really worth to have that kernel cause as really satisfied with the rom by itself
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
To bring the resolution back to stock you have to bring the DPI to 240 (not 120). Simple change by editing the build.prop (just look for number 160 and change it to 240).
[Asus Transformer TF700] polish_pat:
by default.prop you must mean build.prop because de default has almost nothing in it...
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Yes, build.prop, look for the number 160 and change it to 240 save then reboot.

location:

/system/build.prop

before:

ro.sf.lcd_density=160

change to:

ro.sf.lcd_density=240
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Had problems getting 240 to stick.

Using ES File explorer the permissions needed to be set rw-rw-rw then back to rw-r-r not sure why.

if i hook up the phone to pc i get a usb device not recognized, adb has no connectivity and i tried manually loading the drivers but its like the phone doesnt know wtf to do because some adb interface drivers loaded it up (not anymore) but it would say it had error 10 ("device cannot start") and error 43.
