Either you have been living under a rock, or... who knows. This video will answer your questions, and pretty much make up your mind for you. It's long, but thorough.

Colfustion's Review of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2

And to the bloke who recommended waiting for the S 4... just stop. Recommending non existent hardware just makes you sound silly. It will have a processor similar to the Note 2, a smaller screen, no S-Pen... etc. Not a very good comparison.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RizSher:
I've got both.. and honestly can't make a decision - have to sell one - need the cash.

GOing back to the S3 from the Note, it feels positively TINY...

but, the Note really does feel big; and I've got pretty big hands... whether its too big or not, I guess its partly personal choice and partly ease of use - I don't think I can honestly say that the Note 2 is always easy to operate with a single hand -

Also, to be honest, the alternate rom scene, at least for the T-Mobile Note 2, is pretty limited - I'm not sure if there'll be any "original" android development for it as I guess to make use of the S-pen etc, a vanilla android rom just wouldn't have the features (I'm only guessing here). Most of the rom development would be those "de-bloated/de-odexed/zip aligned" versions of stock TouchWiz rom which claim to mysteriously give longer battery life. I'm currently on the Jedi Rom on my Note 2 and not really sure how different it is to the stock rom.

On my S3, I've got Task's Rom, and it truly made a huge difference to the battery life - to the point I'm comfortable returning to the standard Samsung battery form the extended Hyperion 4200 mAH one I had bough due to the horrible battery life the S3 has (on cellular internet) when on the stock rom - with Task's rom, there is a marked, appreciable improvement in battery life.

Right, coming back, I still can't figure out which one to keep and which one to sell - I'm pretty sure, whichever decision I take, I'll regret it cos both the S3 and Note 2 are really and truly excellent products!!!.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdt73:
The phone has been out for less than a month in the US. I think the ROMs will come, in time. Plus, the battery in the Note 2 is amazing... ever try running the battery down to 5% on purpose? It's actually harder than I thought it would be! That's the beauty of the Note 2; the battery is big enough, by itself, that minimal changes are needed to constantly see 24+ hours on one charge. I have had both the S3 and now the Note 2, and I would never recommend an S3 over the Note. The S-Pen alone is > any wizbang S3 thing out there!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RizSher:
I wasn't making a point about the Note's battery life - it really is pretty good - what I waas trying to say was, the S3 alternate ROM scene is very vibrant; the particular ROM I've got currently make a noticeable diff. in battery life; based on my guess work I'm not very sure if the same would happen for the Note.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gypsy214:
Seems like all of the Note 2 series including the international one are the same hardware. Why not make it a worldwide phone with a universal radio. or Like on my Sensation? I may be wrong but in any case do like the tmobile version of the s2 and the skyrocket which are very similar phones

Greetings,

First post here, I hope this is the appropriate section for it. I have google'd and forum searched extensively and have yet to find a thread dedicated soley to this issue. Many people have reported it within various ROM threads only to have the next poster state he doesn't have the issue and the problem get buried in a 500 page thread.

Having gotten my feet wet with the stock ICS ROM that came with my Galaxy S3, I was happy to enter the world of custom ROM's and flashed CM 10 M2 as my first custom ROM. I was very much enjoying CM 10 when I received my first phone call after switching. Being an exclusive speakerphone user, I answered the call and enabled the speakerphone as usual. The caller stated they couldn't understand me as there was an echo on the line. I turned speakerphone off and they stated the problem was fixed. After finishing the call, I called my cell phone from my landline and enabled the speakerphone on my S3, then walked to the other side of the house to minimize any close vicinity interference. When I spoke into my landline I could hear myself echo making a conversation almost impossible. I disabled the speakerphone on my S3 and the problem went away.

I restored my stock ICS ROM and was unable to duplicate the problem. I assumed the bug was specific to CM 10 and tried AOKP JB milestone 1 and had the same issue. Today I tried Task and Ktoonsez's latest AOKP JB 4.12 ROM and The Collective's AOCP ROM with the same results. All the problem ROM's were JB builds so perhaps it's a JB related issue. I will be trying a touchwiz based JB ROM next to see if I still have the issue.

I think alot of people assume when they read this bug report they blow it off as they can't actually hear the echo unless the person on the other line reports it. Maybe alot of people don't use speakerphone? I don't think it's a universal problem or more people would be reporting this but it's not intermittent either. I can reproduce it 100 percent of the time and it goes away when I recover to stock. I also removed my case when testing this and it had no effect. If there is a workaround or fix for this I would be very thankful to learn of it as I very much enjoyed the custom ROM's but I just can't give up speakerphone. Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:

I'm having the same issue...

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ladd76:
Follow up

So today I tried newest builds of Parandoid Android, and Liquid Smooth with the same result. Pretty much all the popular ROM's in the "AT&T Galaxy S III Original Android Development" contain this bug, I'm assuming because they share alot of code. Seems like they base alot of work off of Cyanogen Mod so perhaps that's where it lies, I don't know.

What I do know is I installed DrewGaren's Jellybean 747 Milestone 7 ROM which is Touchwiz based and the speakerphone echo went away. So my stock ICS ROM and this one do not contain the issue but every other JB based ROM I have tried does. I don't have the knowledge to troubleshoot this issue I just wanted to share what I've found and hopefully someone with the knowledge can help track it down.

I do prefer the CM 10 style ROM's over the stock experience but I can't live without speakerphone so hopefully this issue gets resolved, thanks for listening!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gots54:
I have the problem too. I bought my S3 3 weeks ago and within a few days rooted it and installed the latest CM10 nightly. The first time I used the speakerphone I became aware of the echo problem with the it. So I switched back to the stock rom and the problem was gone, so I knew it wasn't a hardware problem with my phone. I've tried every nightly CM10 rom including the recently released stable build. I also tried the latest official AOKP as well as Task and Koonsez's latest build and they all produce the echo.

My buddy suggested I try the black jelly rom, and that's the only one I've been able to use that doesn't have any echo, but it's a touchwiz/Samsung based build. It's not bad, but it doesn't support wifi tethering and it's not as smooth as CM or AOKP. I really want to run CM but can't live without speakerphone.

On a side note, I rooted and rom'd my wife's and friends S3 the exact same way as mine and neither of theirs have the speakerphone echo problem. I suspect there are some hardware differences with Samsung phones. Maybe different parts suppliers that aren't playing properly with the drivers in the CM10 build.

From my tests this bug sounds like the mic is turned up max when speakerphone is on so it's super sensitive. Also, the volume level doesn't have any effect on the speakerphone volume whether you raise or lower it.

Really hope the dev's can fix this so I can run CM or AOKP once and for all.

On a final note, my phone is blue, while both my wife's and my buddy's are white. I don't want to conclude that the white phones don't have the speakerphone echo problem with CM roms. Hope it's just a coincidence.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gots54:
thanks for pointing that out. looks like it's not really a popular issue, or popular enough to get them focussed on fixing it :(

anyone have any thoughts as to why identical phones don't behave the same, ie some S3's have the echo and some don't? I have 3 days left (30 day purchase return policy) to exchange my phone, and am contemplating getting it swapped to see if I get lucky with another unit which won't have an echo problem running CM10 or AOKP.

I also have this problem. using baked 8. with kt747 and its awesome!! They seem to be aware and working on it. tried a different kernel but no dice. Ive been in every setting cant seem to get rid of it. my phone is white so its not that. hope someone can figure this out soon. tw roms dont have this problem and I like the aosp feel.It would be nice to know if anyone even an idea of the cause, maybe the users could check files and find something.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gots54:
So I've been very happily using the Samsung-based ROM called Devils Reject since Dec 2012, and have been on V7 since it came out a few months ago and have been really happy with it. It's pretty smooth and stable, has great battery life, has tethering, custom toggles, various battery icons, AOKP lockscreen, power button menus, plus a bunch of other stuff I can't remember, and of course, there are no speakerphone problems.

But I've always been curious about giving CM another chance with CM10.1 and especially with the latest RC2 out.

Does anyone know if the speakerphone bug still exists with it?

Had it done. Generally when a newer APK (Hopefully people in here know why me is using APKs with Google Play as well) of an app comes out if I click on the install button it just asks for permission to replace it. But there are some that mess it up. That is why I have to uninstall them first and then install the newer version APK. I have seen if I restore back the data, it is just fine

No issues.

I've used Otterbox Defender since I bought the SGS3. Picked up the Seidio OBEX case today. I have complete confidence in the otterbox but really liked the idea of waterproof case.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] kaynpayn:
That looks as tough as UAG's so i'd go for a UAG (better looking to me). Pure is probably cheaper though.

But he wants something tougher than that one i think, so it's not the same grade of cases. Look for otterbox defender or Trident Kraken. Kraken has lots of videos official and third party on youtube vouching for it's toughness.

I'm using a UAG at the moment and although extremly satisfied, i may still get a kraken just because how tough they seem for heavier duty.

Check out the 15 pound anchor one, this kind of impressed me. They also have a splash test (they throw a bucket of water on it), throw a phone off the roof of a building crashing hard on solid concrete, kick one around, etc. Reckon anything short of that nuclear explosion and they've tested it. Phone survives everytime, of course.

I can't judge the UAG because I don't own one, but I do own a otterbox defender and the Dualtek. I can confidently say this this case protects just as well as the defender just in a slimmer package. I have purposely dropped the phone on asphalt and concrete to see how it holds up and the phone and the case are fine. There's a video on YouTube of a guy throwing the dualtek from a 20 foot roof on to solid concrete and the phone just bounces around a few times and that's it. This is a very solid case and though it may not look it, it is very rugged.
