It even could be bigger honestly...

Fits in all jeans pockets(even skinny jeans but barely), dickies, dress pants at work, and can still use as a one handed phone while walking in the city once you get used to it

Remember the benefits of a bigger screen such as an awesome GPS/docked in car etc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] T.J. Bender:
My Note 2 made my Skyrocket look like my Captivate did when I got my Skyrocket. I was convinced I'd never be able to use or carry the Note 2 (in fact, I skipped the original Note because it was literally twice the size of my Captivate). Within a week, I was used to pocketing the Skyrocket, Otterbox Defender and all. Likewise, with the Note 2, I'm already used to pocketing it, bulky folio case and all. I'm even comfortable-ish using it one-handed at this point.

If you're really worried about the size, go to any AT&T, T-Mo, Sprint or Verizon store, or a Wal-Mart, Radio Shack or Best Buy and pick the display model up. See how it feels. Don't try to jam it in your pocket or anything, but I went into a T-Mo store before getting mine and placed it alongside my pocket to see if I was comfortable with the size.

I still recommend a holster for a device as big as the Note 2 so you don't inadvertently crack it in a deep bend, but I haven't had any issues with the size beyond appreciating how huge the screen is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] k.babymamma:
+1 for everyone's comments. Just adding this: it is completely normal to me now, handling/viewing-wise. As I haven't had it that long yet, when people at my workplace & also family first see it they make a fuss over its gargantuan proportions. I look at it and think it's totally normal though. And no I cannot bring myself to imagine going back to my teeny phone (even though I love it dearly.) Some of the older ladies, in fact, said they would like a phone like that because they could actually SEE the stuff on it. lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nmoline:
I will jump on this train. I felt the same way as you, and to be honest you can return it most places, look for somebody that won't charge you a restocking fee.

I came from a Samsung Captivate and temporarily on an iPhone 4. Personally the Note 2 feels better in my pocket than the iPhone 4 because of how thin it is.

The size does make one handed control a bit tricky, but Samsung has done a good job allowing you to turn on one hand input which shifts the keyboard or dialer to half the screen.

I have had it for a week now and continue to tell myself I will never buy a smaller phone again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dmwitz:
Not a problem

I've had mine just over a month now and have never thought of it as being too big. I have a flip case at present but am considering getting a more bomb-proof case in the near future. I dropped it once before I had the case and the screen smashed into a thousand pieces!! I got it back 5 days ago.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cdashb:
I agree. This 5.5in screen is pretty great because I'm used to it now. I picked up my wifes iphone yesterday and it felt extremely inadequate. I think I could even be okay with a 6 inch screen, but after that it will be "getting out of hand". :p

I haven't had a problem with it fitting in any of my jeans though, I always just hold it anyway, like I did my iphone while walking.

Did you have insurance? Ive been really afraid about dropping mine because I've heard replacement screens are ridiculously priced.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SysAdmNj:
Its a little big, but what you get for a size bump outweighs any negative you can say about the size tbh. Get a smaller device = smaller battery. This screen is pretty big but so is the battery. I guess what I'm saying is battery life is pretty good with this beast. Try it out, you have 30 days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac11700:
I'll jump in here too...

I just came from a tiny I-phone 4s...which certainly fit completely inside any pocket I have...and had the same initial worry as you...I mean this Note 2 dwarfs anything out there except a full note pad after all...and I was so used to a phone of that size...

It took me 2 days...to stop fretting over it and just use it without being so self conscious of the size of it.I had to realize I had a larger phone and get used to carrying it around and be comfortable with it.

I work in Facilities Engineering at a 7 million square feet hospital and I am crawling..stooping..climbing..sliding all over the place...all the time and all I have on it right now is the original gray flip case...and I carry my Note 2 in my left shirt pocket. Yes...I do take some precautions by holding my arm across my chest when bending over...but I would do that anyway to keep my pens..testers and other stuff in place as well...

In other words...it's not too big...but...it's not completely secure either...like a much smaller phone. I have a Seidio case and belt clip on it's way to me...the same one I used for a couple of years on my Captivate..this will eliminate having to have it in my pockets and not add much bulk to it like a lot of other cases do...while providing excellent protection for it.

Right now...your suffering from

"the small phone complex"

...it's true...you really are...and once you get one of these and use it for a few days..and see all they can do...you will never want to go back to a small screen again...and you'll wonder why you waited so long...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dara.parsavand:
It doesn't really matter what answer anybody else gives you does it? Obviously on this forum most people will think it's not too big, many others think it is too big. Why don't you figure out for yourself which camp you are in by making a rounded rectangular slab out of wood or cardboard? The Note 2 is (rounding up to the nearest mm - your slab isn't going to be perfect): 152x81x10. That's what I did and I carried it around for a while in jacket pockets, front pants pockets and cradled it in my hand. My conclusion? It's about as big as I could go - certainly in length, I could go a little wider in width to perhaps a bit beyond the Note I though I doubt Samsung will go back to that width after the number of reviewers who say they like the narrower form factor. Still haven't bought one yet, though I'm pretty close. Reading these boards and thinking about whether I want to wait for a 32 or 64 GB internal or not (probably not).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] theorioles33:
Its big but not too big.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RojasTKD:
Really should only be a problem for one handed users with small hands.

I carried it in my pocket wrapped in a micro fiber cloth (sand will scratch the screen) untill my hip case arrived. No issues carrying the phone around.

I'm mainly a one handed user with large hands and it manageable, though I is a handful. My Galaxy S II feels down right tiny now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJHile:
I'm loving the size! No complaint at all. My girls sgs3 seems so puny after using my n2 for a few days lol

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] KentuckyHouse:
I'm glad you posted this thread, OP. I've been thinking about getting the Note 2 for a few days now, but I'm having the same "tiny phone syndrome" as described earlier. Of course, I've got the SIII right now, so it's not like I'd be coming directly from my iPhone 4S. But it is amazing how the N2 makes even the SIII look small! The size is almost overwhelming... LOL.

My question to you guys that already have the N2...do you feel its a worthy upgrade to move from the SIII to the N2 or am I better off just sticking with the SIII? I was originally going to get the Nexus 4, but I cancelled my order after being relegated to backordered status. That ticked me off a bit at Google.

Even if I got the N2, I'd keep my SIII, but do you guys think its worth it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] T.J. Bender:
I'd say yes. For me, the jump from the Skyrocket to the S3 wasn't enough for me to make the investment. The jump to the Note 2 is huge, whether from the S2 platform or an S3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJHile:
You will not be disappointed at all. After you have the N2 for a few days you will wonder why it was ever a concern at all. I don't think I could go back to a smaller screen after being spoiled with this beautiful display.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Brau0303:
My 2 Cents

Is it big, well it is bigger than other phones but what really matters is, do you feel it's right for you? I have the Note One, now the Note II. Once you get past the size - it's all good. Samsung is doing a better marketing job on the Note II than they did on the Note I, this will help it gain social acceptance. it's an awesome device and I believe it's what mobile communication is evolving in to. (Just my 2 cents tho)

Cheers

IMHO...yes it is well worth it to me..

The upgraded hardware...the upgraded software...the big bold and beautiful enormous screen...the s-pen...yup...I think it is well worth it...but...if your into playing the waiting game...you do know the S4 will be out fairly soon...

Mac
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] KentuckyHouse:
Thanks Mac. I've done the waiting game and frankly, I'm tired of it...LOL. I waited and waited on the Nexus 4 only to get backordered. I waited for what seemed like an eternity for the S3 to finally become available.

Luckily for me, I'm financially in the position where I can change phones every few months, so if the S4 were to come in March or something like that, it would be easy for me to grab one. At that point I could just sell the S3 to help offset the cost.

I'll probably go grab a N2 this week. Thanks guys!

3) Select "Apply update from ADB"; <------- What is ADB ?

4) Download the correct update for your build and place it in the same directory as your ADB binary;

5) Open a command prompt in the same directory as your ADB binary; <----- how i am doing this ?

6) Type adb devices to make sure that your device is recognized;

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bur99:
So, I flashed MMuzzy's Jelly Bean - 4.2 - JOP40C the other day and everything was fine. The battery life was a little bad though, so I decided to try [ROM]Pure Android 4.2 Jelly Bean (AOSP) since it was reported to have great battery life. I did a flash of this ROM after wiping and it booted fine, though I decided to go back to the MMuzzy ROM. I did a wipe and now I can't restore OR flash a new ROM that I have saved on my SDCARD. I'm assuming this is due to the /sdcard/0/0/ recursive issue.

I boot into ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.1.0 -- Clicking restore shows " no files found". Clicking Install from SD card shows the same thing "No Files Found"

I'm not too familiar with adb, but I'm assuming thats going to be the only way to get everything back.... any help is greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
You need to copy them back to the original folder to make them visible again

Thanks. I ended up flashing TWRP and it at least got me back to another ROM.

A little clarification?

Sorry--where would the original folder be? All my backups are in sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/015d321fec080e02/ and they are not visible when I boot into recovery and try to restore.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] nayser:
Guys need your attention & a consoling solution for my bricked phone, that can go in recovery & download mode. But the stock recovery mode says

--Applying multi CSC--

E:failed to mount/system(Invalid arguement)

E:failed to mount/cache(Invalid arguement)

E:cant open /cache/recovery/log

The troubled began when i added internet tweaks to build.prop.

When i reboot, phone got stuck at samsung logo.

Then when i opened cwm their i found error mounting system, & was unable to restore backups but when i used Rafael's "FORMAT ALL EXT4.ZIP" i was able to mount /system in cmw but these errors got shifted to stock recovery :(

now i'm able to flash zips & restore backups but of no use. still phone stuck at logo :(

Do i need to take my phone to Service center or any other advices? :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] makeyourself:
The reason you are getting those errors is that stock recovery cannot handle ext4, that's normal.

Probably the simplest thing to do would be to follow the unbrick tutorial:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1840645
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] nayser:
thanks for specifying the Ext4 problem... :)

can i get back to Ext3 by flashing any zip through cmw recovery?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] makeyourself:
Well rfs is the default file system format, not ext3. If you use this version of CWM then you can go to mounts and storage > format /cache, /system and /data back to rfs. However you will obviously now have no ROM on your phone so will still need to either restore a backup or flash a zip of a ROM that includes the entire /system folder, which is most, if not all. I've never tried this technique by the way, so no guarantees here.

Also try to restore only Nandroid backups made with the same version of CWM that you are using to avoid problems.

How can I format to FAT32 while the card is in the phone? WINXP does not give option to format FAT32?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chucktdriscoll:
I'm assuming you have a large sd card and that's the reason WinXP won't do it. You can force it to from the command prompt "format /FS:FAT32 X:" where X is the drive letter.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] highlander07422:
In windows it shows up as a phone icon in My computer. It does not have a drive letter. It says Phone and card.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chucktdriscoll:
It's attached as a MTP device. You won't be able to change the format of the actual card that way. You'll need a USB adapter for the microSD card to do it (unless you're running a ROM that allows you to mount the external SD card as a mass storage device).
