[Nexus 4 Accessories] treUse:
The S3 does have curved glass at the edges.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Vanhoud:
So that screen protector is curved to fit?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] treUse:
I don't know about that. Never seen the protector.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] electric0ant:
no it was not. the sgp and xgear only covered the flat areas of the screen leaving the curved part exposed and very obvious that you have a glass screen protector on.

Another brand made an all clear screen protector which extended a bit further, luckily i asked the shop to apply it for me and seeing the gap at the edge between the screen protector and the curved glass, i pointed out that wasn't good enough and that the gap will trap dirt etc which would be obvious and can also result in the screen being scratched, they removed it and didn't charge me anything.

i think xgear's first batch or someone made from the same factory for the nexus 4 has probably ended up on taobao.com (china version of ebay).

I found some on there which had the issue described about the gap as they extended too far over the flat part of the screen.

XGear said the Fantom 4 will be available on 03/11. Anyone ordering?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Vanhoud:
I'm waiting for mine to ship
[Nexus 4 Accessories] hawkye:
I had two of them on my GNexus. I had issues with touch sensitivity with it on. It did an excellent job protecting the screen though. I hope the Fantom 4 doesn't have touch sensitivity issues then I will get one.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
I ordered mine so waiting to ship, I got the black one but I've been thinking I should have gotten the white one.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Vanhoud:
Looks like it's time for a refund...

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are not offering the Fantom 4 at the moment. We will be releasing an alternative within the next few weeks.

I got a message back, they said if I'm willing to wait they'll keep my preorder active instead of sending a refund.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Vanhoud:
Well that should be what they do obviously... I'm just tired of waiting
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
I emailed them two days ago when they switched the shipping date from march 11 to march 18 and this is what they told me.

Thank you for contacting us, our shipment of Fantom 4 has been held in customs and we have been told that we should receive our shipment in next week. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank You,

This is BS.

Anyone have any updates from these guys?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ctbear:
Where do you guys get all these info? I've never heard a single thing from them since my order 4 weeks ago.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] bkoon1218:
That's probably an XGear customer rep. I've emailed them a while back.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
Pmoradi seems to be one of their reps and I did receive and email giving me those two options so I picked the 25% refund. However after six days of waiting no refund was given so I've emailed them asking for a full refund, I'm still waiting on a reply on that one.

Edit: Got my full refund with in two days of requesting it.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sMtt:
Any news on this?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] bkoon1218:
Available for sale now. I wonder how it'll be like.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] freezeburn:
A member said that he received his shipping info from his order. Its being discussed on the other thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2030127

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bkfarrell:
So I decided to check out the DNA for a minute. I got to say, not a fan one bit. I just didn't like it at all, didn't see it as an upgrade from the GS3. It just solidified my choice in the GN2.

Anyone else check it out today?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MARKREIF:
Yep - and couldn't agree more. I'm a twofer - two main devices and whereas the GN2 is going to replace my Bionic - there is no way I can justify switching my ReZound for the DNA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nnnnr14:
Yes save the other upgrade for the gs4 rumored to come out q1 2013
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] innozan:
I was set on the Droid DNA. Even had a work around DNA memory and battery to accommodate the DNA. After stopping by verizon, i have jump ship to Note 2.

Comparing My GS3 with DNA

Holding both phone, DNA feel less solid and cheap for some reason. From all the vids and pictures, the phone look amazing.

1080p didnt wow me enough, my phone looks brighter.

Not a Fan of Sense 4+, HTC have nothin over samsung motions. I am so use to swipe to call and text.

I do like the back soft touch tho. Also like the red grills. The phone is too long to have a power button on top.

Glad i didnt preorder the DNA, would have been disappointed. Note 2 here i come!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] computingwarren:
Sense just ruins it. If it was running pure android, it would be amazing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JaguarXT:
Agree with you there. GS4 more worth the wait than to get the Droid DNA now. Either get Galaxy Note 2 now or get Galaxy S4 later.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cdmoore74:
I played with one as well and I was not impressed. I thought the jump to 1080p would be similar to 720p like last year but I was mistaken. And after you get past the screen it just felt normal; I have no desire to use it again. But with the Note 2 I've used it 5 times at various locations while I wait for my pre-order to ship. I'm actually eager to play with it again. I finally figured out how to use multi-view and I can't wait until that feature is fully opened to all apps.

All said I just ordered a 64gig micro SD card to seal my purchase. Just one more week!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xdadevnube:
I felt that the display contrast, black levels, and color saturation are disappointing on the DNA. Now I am debating the note 2 vs waiting on GS4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cdmoore74:
I have the confidence that the Note 2 will keep me entertained when the S4 comes out. Plus I don't see the S4 coming out over 5 inches and it will not have the S-Pen. The one positive is that we should have a sneak peak at the Note 3 when the S4 is released if Samsung follows the same formula.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] geoff5093:
I had the US Cellular version of the Note 2 for a week, and I've had my DNA since yesterday. So far this is what I've noticed:

Build quality seems superior on the DNA. The rounded glass screen, soft touch plastic, aluminum red grilles, compared to the slippery and cheaper looking plastic of the Note 2.

The display was a huge selling point, and while I agree the resolution is amazing in the sense that I can not see any pixelation, it doesn't seem as vibrant or bright as the Note 2. I wouldn't consider the screens to be a deciding factor.

The battery life is pretty horrible on the DNA. With the Note 2 and my previous Thunderbolt w/ extended battery, I only charged my phone at night and went unplugged from 7AM to 11PM with anywhere from 40-60% battery left with light/moderate use. With the DNA, I went 6 hours with moderate use before the battery dipped down to 30%. If you get the DNA, you WILL need to keep the phone tethered to a charger. I'll have to keep it plugged in at work, and when I get home from work.

Storage isn't a huge issue for me as I don't use close to the 16GB capacity, but it's always nice having more memory, especially expandable memory.

Signal strength. I can't really compare the two as the Note 2 was on US Cellular, but I can say that the DNA gets excellent signal strength, both on Verizon and on WiFi. I get WiFi signal in places where my Thunderbolt did not, and so far coverage with Verizon seems to be a tad better than the Thunderbolt. As a comparison, my Thunderbolt consistently gets better signal strength than my friends GS3 on Verizon.

The speaker in the DNA is amazing, I had it turned up all the way and there was no distortion at all. I couldn't believe how loud and clear it was!

Ergonomics. The DNA is awesome in this area, with the rounded glass edges, curved back, and soft touch back this phone feels AWESOME in the hand. Unlike the Note 2, it doesn't feel like it's going to slip and fall. It's also usable with one hand, unlike the Note 2 which you can only use a portion of the screen when holding it in one hand.

I also noticed that the Note 2 is slightly too wide to fit in most cup holders in cars, while the DNA fits in perfectly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flaring afro:
Hmm I thought it looked slick - much more than the Note 2 which really isn't slick looking when held to your head lol. Still going with the Note 2. I can't easily reach the status bar and the buttons while using it one handed (without changing grip and feeling awkward) - but I like the extra screen space and always use my Incredible held landscape 2 handed anyways.

I definitely can't say it wouldn't be smart to buy the DNA though. I personally would over the GS3 - mostly because of its much better processor.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Its TwiX:
I thought it was pretty cool, but honestly maybe too thin. I like my phone to be small, but not like paper thin... Even holding it attached to the display it felt like it might fall out of my hand at any time. That along with a tiny battery and no SD card slot will keep me away. I will say that the display is quite beautiful though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tsnstuff:
I picked up the DNA thinking I could test it and if I don't like it I could always return it and hopefully by then the Note 2 would be out. But right now I'm not sure if I want to return it. I really do like this phone a lot, but (and I can't believe I'm saying this) I do miss Touchwiz. Samsung has really been doing some great things with it. I also like the idea of the S-Pen a lot.

I do have the Note 10.1 but I still think I may want that same experience in my pocket. But the DNA really is nice so I'm not sure. I do hate that damn power button on the top though. . .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cdmoore74:
Since you already have a Note 10.1 I don't think I would have 2 Note devices. My plan was to get the DNA and keep my Nexus 7 or get the Note 2 and sell my Nexus 7. After playing with the DNA it felt like another phone, nothing special. After playing with the Note 2 I was sold. There is no doubt in my mind that the Note 2 will last until the Note 3 comes out. I can't say the same about the DNA when the S4 comes out with 1080p display, Sd card clot and removable battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flaring afro:
The Exynos 5 is faster (at least quad vs quad) but there's no way that the DNA is going to be slow or unusable in less than a year. People who don't need much storage will be fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jellydroid13:
Yup I was going to get the note 2 but then I saw the gs4 rumors so I bought a gs3 for $400 and am saving my upgrade for the s4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flaring afro:
But then by the time the GS4 comes out, the Note 3 will likely be coming out fairly soon etc
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
Imo its to the point where upgrading is not a huge gain anymore. None of these new phones are a "huge" upgrade over the s3. Im still debating on getting the note2, this will probably be my last upgrade for awhile. All these little gimmick add-ons are just wooing folks into getting the latest and greatest every 6mo. Its beginning to look like a waste of money imo. I honestly do not think the dna comes close to being a worthy 200 upgrade over my s3 and the same goes for the note2 @ 300. The **** is getting rediculous! The s3 is powerful enough to handle udates for years to come, but its already been superceeded by devices that are not much better imo. Quad core is not going to be a huge upgrade...ram is much more important along with gpu. 4.8" screen is plenty big...end rant.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SFBPro:
If I had an S3, I would slap the multi-window mod on and call it a day. Since I have a dying Nexus...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flaring afro:
I don't think it's worth upgrading every 6 months (I never did), but if you have an available upgrade, the DNA's gpu is twice as fast as the S3. Not really being utilized yet, but within 2 years it very well could be. RAM actually doesn't matter that much since programs tend to be small and compact. 2GB is plenty and having a quad core means you can play a game with no background task like facebook getting in the way. Our phones easily have much more than 4 threads going on at once.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
I would give the note a steady year timeline, while it seems like I would expect GS as fast as they can push them out since it is one of their best sellers. rumors for S4 are in q1, but note 3 would probably be in q4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
I can about gurantee the majority of folks dont game on thier devices, so a dual core is plenty for most. TouchWiz Jellybean needs atleast 2gb of ram which the S3 has. The gpu is faster on the DNA, but again how fast does it need to be? The S3 certainly is not lacking... My point is none of the upcoming devices really have that wow factor over the s3, especially for they amount of coin they want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
^That being said I still want a GN2 lol!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vtec2k7:
The DNA is nice but i feel that from what i read online that the Droid branded line of hardware always have much more hardware issues then the Samsung galaxy line. As i said this is just my opinion but from what im reading on the xda forum for the DNA its already got its share of issues that the ATT note 2 doesnt have. I think Samsung hit a home run with this version of the note and am eagerly waiting for this weekend to come around so i can go to verizon store to buy one and get rid of my crappy iphone 4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flaring afro:
The DNA isn't meant to be an upgrade from the S3, it's supposed to be competing against it for people upgrading from a Thunderbolt or something. Most people don't upgrade every 6 months. And when it comes to that, a lot of people are going to choose the DNA. It's the same price as the GS3 so if anything the GS3 is priced a little high right now (at verizon at least).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
your still missing my point...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
100% Agree!

I have the N2 on AT&T Right now and just waiting to see if it gets unlocked on VZW so I can move my line back.

To me its a modest upgrade over the HTC One X.

I lost all respect for HTC now. Im staying Samsung all the way!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mi7chy:
HTC promised ICS for Thunderbolt but failed to deliver. No more HTC for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] livefree79:
I like the look of this phone. Its smaller then the note still it would require two hands. I like the red accents clearly inspire by the new evo. Wish HTC would have puck the evo's kickstand on it but oh well. However i don't like HTC lack of replaceable battery along with lack of SD card slot. I don't quite what HTC is doing buy not allowing expandable memory and non replaceable battery. Cause I'm not really seeing cost any lower so i don't know
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
I dont think they do that to lower cost actually.

I am an HTC elevate member (exclusive HTC website) and they stated that the battery is embedded because it has to do with shape and interface to the phone itself. Basically so they could squeeze more juice out of it.

Now the Micro SD... They never made a statement.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bkfarrell:
Glad to hear it, I would hate to have to give a different Dev a chance on a ROM!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MARKREIF:
Or better yet give the GS2 to my sig and then wait on the GS3 with that 2nd upgrade ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] idle0095:
Bought it day it came out and returned it the next day. Note 2 is what i want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FMXP:
The biggest problem with the DNA is the 2,020 mAh battery. That battery is supposed to power a device with Snapdragon S4 Pro, a 1080p Super LCD3 screen, and Verizon 4G LTE.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the High-Tech Computer Corporation. Home of the 3 hours battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
Didn't even think of cupholders. Always throw my phone in one...

---------- Post added at 12:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------

actually people are getting 3-5 hours of screen on time. It won't outlast the note 2, but it also doesn't look ridiculous up against your ear.

Personally, going to start with the note 2 and use the dna as a fall back. Just hope signal strength is acceptable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] IamPro:
This is what I think is gonna hold back the device down the road, they might even make a MAXX version like Razr which could be another reason not to get it. The stats on the phone are pretty sick and diff beat everything on the market (even the Note 2).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] geoff5093:
I can confirm this, I've had the DNA for a week and while it will last all day with occasional use, but if you use the device for long periods of time the battery will die very fast. On Thanksgiving I used it for about 30-40 minutes on the drive down, and for about an hour at Thanksgiving dinner (I'd say around 2 hours of on screen time), and 6 hours off charger I was at 30% battery...

Yeah, it's one of those things most people don't think of until they start to use the phone in their daily life. I have workarounds, and hopefully I'll get my car dock soon, but it's an inconvenience.

The DNA is a great size, but after using it for a week the Note 2 doesn't really seem that large, and when comparing the DNA on top of the Note 2 it's just several mm shorter and narrower.

The potential for a DNA+ or MAXX DNA is what I don't like about Verizon and their exclusive lines of phones, I could buy the DNA now and then <6 months later they will probably have a newer version, and then updates and dev support for the original DNA would drop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdetroit:
I had the Droid DNA for one week, stunning device, but after taking videos and pics with the great camera last weekend at my nieces 2nd birthday, I only had 2GB left. I need expanded storage....so I went to the Verizon Store at 8 when they opened in the GM WorldHQ this morning and got the note along with a 32GB card. Wow....the device feels great in my hand, but I can't say anything bad about the DNA.....it's an awesome phone, but the lack of storage killed it for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] geoff5093:
Congrats! I hope you didn't pay too much for the 32GB card, you can find a 64GB card for around $40 on Amazon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdetroit:
Nope, didn't pay toooooooo much. I had a 32GB card at home, but my spouse took it hostage for the SGS3.....I paid $37 with my corporate discount. I know I could have gotten it cheaper elsewhere, but I wanted it NOW and RIGHT THEN.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crossmission:
haven't used the DNA cause it's not available here (Cyprus) but I'm thinking of buying it used online, but, I've owned the first note, ths s3, the one x, the note 10.1 and I can safely say it's all about what kind of user you are, there's guys here doing photo editing and whole projects on the N2, personally I wouldn't be seen dead with the N2 on my ear (not meant as an insult cause I actually really like the N2 just wouldn't own it). there are days that i NEED the extra storage but not many, usually I need the extra battery life but I don't know how the DNA does but the first note OMG!! At the end of the day I'm a guy that just loves mobile phones and browses the net, maybe watch some movies on-and-offline so I think the DNA will do. The note 2 is more professional driven and for people that need the extra space, I don't even think there's an argument as to which device is better, the DNA is more of a phone and the n2 tablet(y), two completely different devices that just share the first number (5) when it comes to screen real estate. haters gonna hate lol.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JStiner:
Can someone point me in the right direction on specs of the Gal Tab2?

I have the original Galaxy Tab 7inch and want to take a step up. I love my tab, but i want a faster processor, an actual developer following, and the ability to use a bluetooth keyboard.

The wifi only (GTP1010) has crippled hardware compared to the 3G/Branded versions.

Did Samsung do the same thing with the Tab2.

Thank you for the help and sorry for what is I'm sure a repeat question. I did search, didnt find anything useful.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidlover123:
Galaxy tab 2 have a dual core Texas instruments omap processor clocked at 1ghz and it have 1gb ram.

It have a great hardware and software specs(getting jelly bean soon).

But even if you want a more powerfully processor you can head to nexus 7.
