[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Yeah, they should advertise how the phone won't dim when you are looking at it, and stuff like that. I got sold on the features... or the fact that is quite literally the fastest phone on the market with a huge battery. Maybe this type of marketing will work on a few people, but I think people are into this phone are going to buy it for the features and not because LeBron has the phone. This isn't a "cutesy" phone that someone like Justin Bieber will use and all the teens will buy because of that,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fwhomeboy:
Maybe when I get mine, I'll be able to slam dunk like LeBron or make a video of me doing it. Computer generated of course.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
That is my bet why we had to wait so long. All people who buy this phone will be able to dunk like LeBron.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] geoff5093:
It would be amazing if the DNA came out before the Note 2, lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] OneSlickDeal:
I wonder if the note2 verizon brand can be scraped off with a razer blade. I'm sure gonna try
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SFBPro:
Depending on how the logos are printed on the device, you might be able to use a pasty sugar water mix to gently remove the logos. The thought of using a razor blade on plastic kind of scares me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chino0131:
Agreed. I would personally rather try securely covering all of the phone/ports/etc except for the button, and use some type of spray enamel designed the material, and clear coat to change the color of the button.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FMXP:
Nothing amazing about. It's all according to Verizon's keikaku.

However, the rumors the Droid DNA will only have a 2,020 mAh battery makes me laugh. HTC never learns when it comes to battery life, ever. They always have the worst battery life and they are mystified why their marketshare has gone in the toilet the past year or so. Battery life matters, and HTC just doesn't get it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] johnchad14:
I read ~2500 mah. Who really knows though. Either way it won't be nearly as long battery as the note, so no contest in that dept.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dwayne_Chapman:
I'm surprised nobody has brought this up but I have heard the other US variants of the Note 2 were shipped without the multiscreen feature that the Galaxy S3 has. T-Mo, ATT, And sprint will be issuing a update at some point to enable that but hopefully the Verizon version will ship with all the features of the phone actually there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jellydroid13:
Ok this has been brought up a million of times in all the threads! VERIZON ADVERTISES IT ON THERE PAGE. IT WILL SHIP WITH IT! Sorry but I'm getting annoyed from seeing the same question over and over again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dwayne_Chapman:
Ok that's great you're so mad about this but this thread was about why it's being held back particularly on Verizon and I brought that up instead of speculation that Verizon somehow has it out for Samsung. Also I didn't ask a question but rather made a statement.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] madzozs:
Also, the Sprint update went out recently(Nov 7) that enabled this feature.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jellydroid13:
I'm not getting mad its just a little annoying seeing the same question over and over again. I dont want to start some stupid fight on this thread so lets just drop it.

ON TOPIC: The DNA is being released on the 20th. Before the note 2. So you were right OP since they didn't get droid branding on the note 2 there not advertising it and there pushing it back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] XstitchCowgirl:
Couple people over at Verizon community forum have been told by Verizon employees that phone will be available in store 11/15 and preorders ship 11/13.

I can still hope!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KgTheraad1:
I really doubt that but i would love to be proven wrong.:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
I have been told this as well. When I said the preorder is dated to ship on the website on the 27th they responded with what? it is? lol. Most of the online reps/customer service reps that you use when you call I think check on their computers to verify the date it comes out/they've checked enough to know when it comes out.

While people in-store are really cocky sometimes and act like they know everything about phones - including the release dates. My treatment at VZW goes as such, in-store, sometimes douchebags, but can be really helpful if they are trying to make you happy - free cases, waived fees, credits on acct, etc.... Online/customer service #'s =, not really helpful -- i had an issue with VZW and htey offered me a $20 credit. After talking to someone in-store I got a $60 credit, but they are usually pretty accurate with their information.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] computingwarren:
Where have you guys seen that Nov 15th date?

I'd love to get it this week!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zues532:
If you check the phone on VZW's website the display shows the date as Nov. 15th

While I would be so psyched to get this phone 2 weeks early, I wouldn't hold my breath on it being released that day. Not with the HTC J Butterfly being released on the 20th anyway
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] davud2:
I really hope this is true. I think the long wait is ridiculous. I might just go talk to the store to confirm this...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
From some of the reps in-store I have gotten this answer. I gave a reason in my post before this.

As stated, I don't think that image means much. There are other stock images of the phone without the VZW logo with this date, as well as one in Aug/Dec.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] computingwarren:
I will be so happy if it releases this week
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Sigh, maybe if there was more consistency I'd believe that it would be released early.

From VZW boards.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jellydroid13:
I wouldn't count on any release date before 11/27. But then again it doesn't matter for me because my upgrades not until the 25th.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be saying that if you had pre-ordered your phone.

All of us want it to come early, and as you can see, from VZW there have been inconsistent messages relayed to the consumers. Anyways, it is funny because we keep quoting VZW boards and they keep quoting us.

The first person I talked to when pre-ordering my phone said the same thing though, it is possible it will be released early, but don't count on it. However, each subsequent person i've talked to has given me a different answer and someone at a retail store told me the 15th, so who the hell knows for sure?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chino0131:
I'm also getting mixed answers, both in-store and online, but I'm not going to hold my breath until I get an email saying my pre-order has shipped. One gentleman at my local Corporate store mentioned that his information shows that pre-orders are due to start shipping out at the latest BY the 27th, not necessarily ON the 27th. He stated "The 27th is the latest date when all pre-orders should be shipped out. Those that pre-ordered early may get their devices before the 27th. Those that ordered later will have theirs shipped before, or at the latest on the 27th." I then spoke with another associate who mentioned she had heard that the phone may start shipping around the 15th, but that was just what she overheard, not what she read anywhere on any Verizon paperwork.

I cant wait for mine to be shipped. I played with one in Sprint store yesterday, but had to pull myself away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] computingwarren:
Yeah, i went to Best Buy and was like, holy *** this is amazing. I loved it. I could use it with one hand and everything.

It was right next to a GS3 and I was like....That's way too small!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] OneSlickDeal:
I'm annoyed as that samsung is going with a hard home button.... That is the dumbest thing ever. The gNex had perfect buttons... i just dont understand
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
I prefer the physical home button, but I know I am in the minority.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bsweetness:
Until a manufacturer releases a phone with a minimal bottom bezel that doesn't have enough room for physical or capacitive buttons, I'm right there with you. Every phone released so far with on-screen buttons, including the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4, have had a large enough bezel (or chin in the case of something like the RAZR M) for buttons.

On-screen buttons take up approximately 0.3" of the screen real estate in 9 out of 10 functions. So, if there's going to be a bottom bezel regardless (as there has been on every device so far), I'd rather have physical or capacitive buttons and retain full use of the screen real estate. Once a phone is released with virtually no bottom bezel, I'll be 100% on board with on-screen buttons.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] randomjoebob:
I wonder if this is why it is taking so long to release. I am curious how this bloatware is going to work out.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bsweetness:
As has been discussed several times in this thread, the release of the Note 2 has been delayed in order for Verizon to give the DNA the spotlight. They want to give the release and marketing edge to the exclusive DNA since it occupies the same large screen category as the Note 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nutpn:
release

I hate that verizon is gonna release the HTC DNA First before the Note2.

It would seem that since the note2 has been out that it would come first, but its coming at least just later
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] randomjoebob:
Yep, that is the most likely reason.

There have been many potential reasons brought up in this thread. Just contributing another.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
I hate the sensitivity of the buttons too. My friend has a phone with on screen buttons and he always taps it and it brings him out of whatever app he was in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] OneSlickDeal:
I hear what u'r saying. I just hate the fact that I actually have to press something in, instead of just rubbing my thumb on it. Seems like it will slow me down. After all the recent DNA news, I'm getting the Note2 no doubt, so I'll have to learn to deal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bsweetness:
I'd definitely prefer a capacitive home button like the back and menu buttons that are on the Note 2. That would let you just barely touch your fingers on it just like the on-screen buttons. But I deal just fine with the physical home button on the S3, so it doesn't bother me all that much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigdad1963:
I hate on screen buttons with a passion. When I went to Verizon to compare the the Droid razor maxx hd with the Galaxy S 3 the droid screen looked almost an inch smaller because of the on screen buttons. on screen buttons are either there permanently, which is ugly, or you have to do extra pushes on the screen everytime you want to pull them up, a pain in the real. Someone asked SCrosler about getting those stupid onscreen buttons for one of his ROMs and he had me cracking up when he said something to the effect that he didn't plan on incorporating any of the new screen wasting technology.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chino0131:
The only thing I really like about the on screen on the Gnex are that you can customize the images into anything you want. However, after playing with the Note 2, I prefer the usable screen space over on screen buttons.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] OneSlickDeal:
Ok ok ur right, I don't necessarily want them to be part of the screen. Why cant the home button be just like the back button and menu button. That is all I ask for. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Woodsy_:
My rep told me it will ship 27th and be in stores on the 15th. Chances are HTC signed an exclusivity agreement with Verizon for about a week.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
I don't think this is accurate. Probably will ship 27th and be in stores sometime between then and the 29th. I don't think they signed an exclusive agreement for 8 business days. I think the reason behind this as obviously being a proprietary phone they may or may not have more vested in it and just want the sales from bf and it was probably a strategic decision from vzw, not htc
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dcoy82:
I fixed the word in caps for ya...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ihavenewnike:
Well, they do pay LucasFilms for use of the Droid name.... Maybe trying to get their moneys worth
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] geoff5093:
Same here, they made the RAZR HD display sound like a great improvement being 4.6" over the 4.3" Thunderbolt screen, but when you factor in the almost-permanent on screen buttons, the display was the same size. I much prefer capacitive buttons.

caution with the Koren version, I bricked my process (so to speak) with the Sprint Device. However, the bin4rys﻿ version worked fine the second try from a hard reset.
[LG Optimus G (International)] fiddy619:
I actually had no problems using the Korean version on my Sprint LG OG, I even re-wrote the batch file in English, and posted it in the Korean Guide thread. I would say that bin4rys method is actually the original method, and should actually get the credit here, and technically speaking the Korean version (which is actually in Vietnamese), is just a slimmed down version of Bin4ry's exploit, but I can say it does work.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miseryguts:
Just wondering if anyone knew of a hack or workaround to enable the HD games that aren't supported (too many to list) to run on the N7..?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magick86:
Which games aren't working for you?

Do you have a Android phone that is rooted? Have you tried using Titanium Backup to backup, export backup, from the phone, and import the backup on the N7?

I used this work around to get Chrono Trigger on my N7 after it was flagged as "non available" on my N7.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miseryguts:
Well the 2 most recent ones i tried were, Backstab HD & Let's Golf 3 HD (I've tried many others though)

how do I do what you suggest if the games are seemingly unsupported on my phone as well..?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magick86:
If they are unsupported on both of your devices, I guess you are out of luck. In most cases there is a reason why it's unsupported. You could try hitting up the developer and ask them why it isn't support, possibly offer to be a tester?

Allow me to assuage your emotional reactions:

1. I did read that thread. Read a lot of it, actually, and all I saw was a whole lot of "will this void my warranty?" "followed the steps and phone is bricked" "how I get drivers working" posts, often by people with post counts of around 4. There are 1,318 replies to that thread. Figure it out.

2. I searched, and there are no threads specifically discussing problems/complications from returning to stock in the GN board.

A lot of threads on XDA are going to be similar in nature. I felt I had pretty good reason to start a new thread. There's no reason to get upset over it, kids -- settle down.

[HTC Sensation] modd1uk:
Just bought the mrs a Galaxy S3, she uses Wifi when at home. All the wifi settings are correct including the advanced ones (from the dialer menu). My HTC sensation does exactly the same thing.

Security settings on router are WPA2 AES

Is there any other way round this apart from the above ? Its really annoying that this hasnt been fixed, my HTC sensation is EXACTLY the same.

We both use whatsapp, and its annoying because if we are on wifi messages don't come through until you turn the screen back on, on 3G whatsapp works perfectly when the screen is turned off its just the wifi.

However im on a different network and can't use 3G in the house as there is no signal so i really rely on my phones WIFI
[HTC Sensation] modd1uk:
Quick reply, the above "fix" doesn't work either, if the screen is turned off for a few minutes I cant recieve any contact over wifi until I turn the screen back on and wait a while.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xFrozen:
I've noticed with Wi-Fi on, I always lose 1% or a bit more per hour, just idle. On 3G, it's a bit less than 1% an hour.

I'm running the latest Jelly Bean stock official firmware (DLJ4).

I have good battery while the screen is on (1% every 4-5 minutes while browsing the internet on WiFi), but this idle battery drain is a bit too much...

I have Facebook setup, but not syncing, and I have most of the notifications disabled.

For my Google account, I have Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, and Internet set to sync.

Screen was on for 1min and I received a call which I did not pick up.

BetterBatteryStats did not show any kernel wakelocks (although on previous days I did see wlan_rx_wake, l2hsic, and a few others, but none today).

I have seen all over the forums that some people are getting a 24 hours of battery life with 5 hours of screen on time, with Wi-Fi on all day. The best I can get with a whole day is 3-4 hours of screen on (brightness at 40% or lower).

Help :(

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KMino:
Looks normal, Gmail woke up to check mail 20X over the cell network while it was sleeping?

Was the phone in a good signal location?

Reason I use Wi-Fi when possible at home. CDMA is 20% signal here, GSM 90%. Perhaps your in the same situation. It is idle in GSM mode, wakes up to check mail notices it can go faster and wastes power renegotiating a faster connection?

That could easily waste power...

If so set to GSM mode, with Wi-Fi on (if screen is on) and turn cell data off.

If your signal is good, you can forget about using only GSM and just do the rest.

Not sure what else it could be, feels like cell signal IMHO. It looks high in the usage chart too, unless you made a few calls..

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggman89:

I lose about 20 - 25 percent per night when Wi-Fi is on. When Wi-Fi is off almost no battery loss... See the attachment for a log. I'm wondering what's wrong... So I would say that the TS is lucky to be losing only a few percent per night!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacer00ster:
Battery drainage looks normal to me. Your wifi was also on for almost the entire time. You could use an app like Juice Defender or Tasker to schedule times to turn on wifi for syncing. That could help decrease time wifi would be on, thus saving some battery life.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xFrozen:
It's not normal at all. I've seen others with better idle time than me, leaving Wi-Fi on the whole time. Also, my phone drains less battery while on 3G. That makes no sense.

And apps like Juice Defender shouldn't be required. It cripples the phone of a feature: background data. I use Google Voice to text and prefer my messages to come instantly instead of every 15 minutes.
