[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxsupergman25xx:
got it about 2 hours ago. didnt think it would get here till a little later this evening. thankfully left a note on the door with a signature on it for mr fedex to leave package. as soon as i got home and saw it..ripped box open and began playing with it.

was simple to get service from gs3 jsut had to pop my sim car in. 4g instantly

better reception than s3 by a small margin.

its big but fits in my gym shorts pockets without being really awkward.

signed into google and all my apps transfered instantly.

popped my 32gb micro sd card in and music was there.

used the multi window for a few seconds with the messaging and browser. worked well.

its definitely a power house phone and i love it in the couple hours ive played with it.

biggest disappointment..hopefully someone can figure it out...

there SOOOOOOOOOO much bloatware. about 10-15 apps from amazon to zappos unreal. it was eating over 300mb of ram. embarrassing for such an expensive phone to have so much BS on it.

also dont like the ongoing notifications that use up a lot of the space. such as if s-pen is out it shows the recommended apps plus the gs3 old wifi on going.

i believe "page buddy" uses a good bit of ram. i just disabled it and the ram usage dropped.

I didn't want to post in here because I'll sound like too much of a fan boy. But this is seriously the best phone I've ever used.

Played with the DNA while waiting in the VZW store too and I think if it came with the same size battery and expandable memory I would of gotten it over this, mainly because 5" would fit better in my pockets than 5.5, and it's screen was beautiful.

My only complaint is that I don't think it'll fit in a pair of APC denim that I haven't really broken in yet. But other than that I absolutley love this phone

really need to find a case before I end up destroying it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] luv2ride:
I had the first note on ATT and hated it. I think most of it was service related as ATT is so far behind verz its not even funny (no LTE in my area). I'm extermely OCD and get pissed off if my music doesnt show up right when playing (album covers etc..) iPhone just works for me. I have a 5 and am loving it. Here's the deal, I'm a power user and love the screen size of the note and hope the note II i just picked up will satisfy my ocdness. In the hour I've had it I'm liking it a lot. This thing is so much faster than the old one its not funny.

When I finish tweaking it I will post a follow up. Maybe just maybe Android will win me over.

Initial thoughts coming from a Rezound

I upgraded from an HTC Rezound (and formerly the Incredible) so this is my fist Samsung phone. Have been somewhat of a sense fan, so was nervous about switching to Touch Wiz, and also nervous about the alleged radio weakness associated with Samsung devices.

So far, I love it. Even though the screen is slightly lower ppi than my rezound, its gorgeous. The size takes a little getting used to, but I felt like the rezound was to small, so I'm loving it. Responsiveness is .. fantastic. I have not yet reloaded all the same apps, but I spent some time in Ingress and while I felt a little warmth, it seems to be better than the rezound in that regard.

One strange thing .. my phone had Titanium Backup and the Pro key installed "out of the box" (and superuser as well), but is not fully rooted. For a moment I thought I would be able to pop my SD card in and use TB to restore all my favorites apps. Sadly, its just a tease .. but this really surprised me. I have a hard time believing TB should be on this phone out of the box. Has anyone else seen this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kest874:
Google probably restored your apps.. It's a checkbox to either restore or not during setup.

Sadly, no wireless charging, no blocking mode, and a few other small difference from the international version I'm used to...

Got it and love it. Micro SD is writable via wifi too. Siedo belt clip rocks as It fits in the Smart dock charger with the case on. Woot!!!

I went to Best Buy today at 11 am to buy my Note 2. i almost fell on my back when he said, sorry we only have white ones. He dug some more and opened boxes and finally got a gray one. Its been laying next to me at my desk at work and i am dying to mess around with this thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaoticjerkface:
I picked up my Note 2 at 10am from my local Verizon store. I have really been looking forward to this device and it exceeds my expectations. I have owned the Nexus One, G2X, RAZR Maxx, Galaxy Nexus, and now the Note 2, this is by far my favorite device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] apols:
My first impressions are: I like the phone a lot, but the negatives are:

1) S-Pen takes a lot of force to be removed, almost as if it is stuck

2) No earbuds included? that's el cheapo

3) I hate getting cases, but I think I'll have to with this one because the sides are so slippery...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] inline6power:
mine was the oposite. it was stuck to where it was acting like it was actually on the screen but from 1/2 inch away from even touching it. take your spen and top on the chrome part on your desk top. not super hard but enough to "fix" it. this cleared mine right up and its now functioning properly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] timmyd463229:
Got mine when I was on lunch and I love it it doesn't bother me its big cause the display is nice and its so much faster than my iphone4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jonbo298:
I decided to check it out in store. I couldn't say no to buying it retail and sell my GS3. I was surprised at the lack of earbuds also.

But overall I'm very impressed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] apols:
I'm also surprised that when stacked up next to my Galaxy Nexus, the colors aren't nearly as vibrant... This seems odd, as everyone else really lauded the display.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zues532:
This is such an awesome phone. I'm completely in love with the S-pen, although I don't know how it's going to hold up to heavy use. The battery life doesn't seem that bad stock out of the box. I'm sure that will be increased drastically with custom roms and whatnot.

Overall it has definitely met my expectations so far
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dragonisinogard:
Same here, found the fix using google!, Anyway it is the best phone I have ever used and that is saying something because I have a long lineage of phones, Samsung Epic 4G, Samsung Beat, Samsung Memoir, Sidekick Slide, Samsung Exclaim, HTC G1, Iphone, Palm Webos phone for half a second, and lastly Droid Razr. The phone is snappy and responsive, i don't know about battery because of the fact that i have been using it on the computer to get stuff sorted out. The S-Pen is sexy as hell, an as awesome as i thought it would be. But it is charging now finally hit 15 percent but of course I hadn't put it down since getting it so i guess it was time to let it rest for a little bit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] schimm:
The signal DBMs are the same.....I had mine side by side today with a coworker's Note 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kevinb91:
I picked up my Note 2 yesterday and my main concern was the battery on the huge screen and quad core cpu. Im at 14 hours as I type this at 51% battery under moderate to heavy use and connected to wifi all day. Everything else on the phone is great besides not being able to use all apps on double screen, but, we can expect this from Verizon.

Standing by for root..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hairdewx:
Phone is great, but Verizon strikes again with their removal of some key apps and features -_-

I really hate verizon and the only reason I am with them is because of my unlimited data. The second they take that away I'm gone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kevinb91:
I see a lot of people concerned with this and I hope you dont mind me asking these 2 questions..

1. How much data do you actually use?

2. Where do you plan on going that still has unlimited data?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BennyJr:
What features??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hairdewx:
1. I'll be using a lot since my work has put restrictions on streaming music :(

2. If Verizon stops the unlimited data, I don't have many other choices... maybe t-mobile, that is if I even get signal... or else AT&T with a limited plan because I get a work 21% discount

---------- Post added at 05:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 AM ----------

Maybe I'm blind, but I can't find blocking mode and the multi-window feature is missing quite a few apps.

I also can't find the Samsung apps apk... I have some apps from my other Samsung device I'd like to move over...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kevinb91:
Definately need your music. Call Verizon and ask how much data you use a month and they can tell you an exact number. Most people think they use more than they actually do. I know i did. I personally would never leave Verizon, not only because I work for them but I have tried Sprint, at&t, and u.s. celluar and IMO could never touch Verizon on customer service and coverage. Of coarse on the coverage side that depends on where your located. If you mention T mobile in my area people have no idea what your talking about.

My impression was wow its big and light weight for its size. Wow this thing is great.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] msrfx:
After having this for ~5 hours or so here are my observations.

1) Big -- But feels great in the hand, I'll definitely get used to this in a few days.

2) Fast and Smooth -- After all the your apps get on it and the device gets a chance to settle down.

3) S-Pen is cool.

Over all I am pretty happy with this device. Not sure if I am so used to seeing the ppi on the S3 but the screen is not as good as I was expecting. I need to compare against another Note 2 to make sure I didn't get a bad copy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
AT&T's lte on day one couldn't match Verizon. Even with more traffic on it, Verizon's lte routinely bests AT&T's. One of the few perks of paying out the rear end for them.

I don't think that is a good thing. Nexus was know for radio issues...

Aren't all sd cards writeable via wifi using wifi file explorer?

Yeah, unfortunately, sprint and t-mobile suck at signal inside big buildings, so I'll probably ride out verizon even once they drop unlimited completely. No one else can match their network.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vancamp:
Most things about this phone I really, really like. But I'm really disappointed that they didn't leave in the wireless charging pins. I had a whole plan (and hardware) set up to use a Palm Touchstone mod, but now I'll need to look for charging docks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ihavenewnike:
I used 4 gigs on first day of my billing cycle. Without the unlimited it is goodbye for me also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kevinb91:
You are right. Everyone also needs to understand that there wont always be unlimited data from T Mobile. Sprints unlimited data has a cap and isnt trulty unlimited.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] OneTrueKevin:
Picked it up in store on Friday. Was previously using international version of original Note. But with ATT it functions mostly as a pager with internet.

Obvious and irritating difference is 4 x 4 grid on all the screens...original Note was 5 x 5.

Per usual, VZW gimped some things [Google Wallet of course, blocking mode etc.], but why drop all the handy Sammy widgets? Someday the world will find out which VP or dumbass committee inside VZW advises them to consistently do this stuff. Until then, better keep the network more robust than your competitors. If they ever get close, say buh-bye to your best customers, including this one.

Meanwhile, loving the hardware. Feels slightly better in hand [than the original Note]. The 600 extra mAh are much appreciated. And the butteriness is noticeable.

Hi Guys,

Galaxy Note 2 seriously needs a bluetooth headset if you are talking a lot on phones. I have tried many bluetooth sets but none was perfect, either not good for music or clumsy n difficult to handle.

Then I came across this LG Tone HBS-700 and trust me its awesome.

1. Awesome sound quality (calling + music)

2. Form factor - very easy to carry.

3. Good battery.

4. Acceptable price.

Here is Amazon link:

I second this recomendation. Battery life is great I usually charge it once a week. I often forget that it's even there, so light and comfortable.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bmoreboy02:
My co worker bought a set of these on black friday and let me try them. The sould quality is good and they are comftorable i have to say i still prefer my jaybird freedoms. The jaybirds are lighter and dont have the rounded stiff cable. Just 1 wire from bud to bud that rest on your shoulder. I run and play basketball with the freedoms and there perfect. Plus there lifetime sweat warranty. Idk how much the lg headphones are but if there over $70 i say just pay the extra $30 for the jaybirds

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wattsja:
I have to disagree. I know too many people who have destroyed theses because they get sweat in them. One guy has had his replaced 3 times already (he runs Ultras).

I have the HBS-700s and I have run in the pouring rain .. and lets not even talk about running in the summer here in Louisiana ... and these have lasted me for over a year with NO issues.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] saltysteven:
I've had the lg 700 for over a year...

Ups n downs... More ups though. Very comfortable, excellent battery life, light weight, good volume levels...

The down side is it's not the best call quality and that varies from time to time. Sometimes call quality is good and other times people can't even understand me. It's even harder talking to someone with another 700! Most of the time it's ok for call use. For music it's good not great. Bass sucks, and bass button doesn't help out that much. Over all i would highly recommend them. I did my research when buying and I'm very happy with them. If they broke I'd buy another set. That should tell you for the money it's a smart buy

They are a bit hard to find now because they stopped making them but I have yet to find someting as good as my Plantronic Pulsars 590s. Bought them 6 years ago.

Does not work with on-screen keyboard

I have this headset, when I push the mic button on the samsung (or any third party on-screen keyboard) it will not let me use voice recognition. Anybody else have this problem. Other than this minor problem, this is the best bluetooth headset I have ever owned.

Guys,

I can see many suggestions and opinions but trust me LG beats them simple because of its EASE TO USE & CARRY thing.

You dont have to put it in pocket or some bag, simple wear around your neck.

No hanging ear pieces.

from the Giant Killer Samsung Note 2
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] hausman:
Does the LG kit (either the 700 or 730) have caller ID announcement, or just a vibrate function?

Also the 730 has gotten some bad reviews on Amazon lately for range problems. It looks like they pulled it for awhile and now it's back; maybe a bad batch?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] NewForce:
As much as I delighted by new innovation, but I had to say sorry and disagree with you about LG HBS-700. Your claimed about no hanging earpiece not quite truth too. If you read various feedbacks around the various website, I'm pretty sure you'll be getting something else. :p

I've noted this set before, prior to my moved from SE MW600 to a new stereo bluetooth headset.

I had shortlisted many new headsets like, Sony MW-1 Smart Wireless Headset pro, Senheisser MW100, Moto S10HD, Jaybird Freedom , including LG HBS700. But after tested them, I almost got a hook by Sony MW1 but in the I gave up all of them.

It was not until I've found Samsung HS3000. It totally change my mindset for stay put with SE MW600, which is now ended in my drawer for good after the many glorious days serving me.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] 00mred00:
may be...i know the first set of 730s i got did not have near the range of the 700.

lg has an app in the market that will announce callers and txt.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] aquaholik:
The 730 range is weird. When I am outdoor, the music will skip if the Note 2 is in my pant pocket(shirt pocket or jacket pocket is fine). So when I am mowing the lawn, Pandora will skip. However, when I am indoor and moving around and jumping to get it to skip, it will not. Can't figure that one out.

Other than that, it is fantastic. On off announcement, connected announcement, control is well thought out and you get use to it very quick. I have hanging around my neck when in my car and can skip track with ease.

The phone audio is also very good. Callers said I am as clear as a whistle. Also the battery last very long and the micro usb makes it easy to charge since I have those laying around everywhere.

Music audio is very good, when it doesn't skip that is. The range is at least 20 ft indoor and it won't skip unless the phone is in my pant pocket.

i have the new 730s and i love them. comfortable to wear, music sounds amazing and battery life is great. highly recommend these to anyone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SkylineZx:
Hi, I have a question about ROMs. I am using a Verizon GNex 4.1.1. I was wondering about ROMs that say Verizon and have 4.1.2 on them. Will I be able to use these? I wanted to use Liquid smooth JB Rc 9 (toro). Sorry if this is a Newbie question. The only experience I have with using ROMs are with the Samsung Stratosphere. Also, I used the toolkit to unlock and root my phone.

Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Only use ROMs that indicate being for either Verizon or Toro. As soon as you can familiarize yourself with adb and fasboot. Using a toolkit leaves a lot of room for error if you don't know what you're doing, whereas with the manual way even if you mess something up you'll know exactly what you did which is the first step to fixing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SkylineZx:
So I could use any Rom that says Verizon and Toro. Should I super wipe or is a regular wipe good? Also, I am pretty familiar with adb but not fast boot. I have used things like doing and hiemdall though. Thanks by the way
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
I'm not sure what you mean by "Super wipe" but if you mean wiping X amount of times, 1 is sufficient, anything more is stupidstition. For future reference there is a thanks button for posts that help you rather than posting "thanks".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SkylineZx:
Alright lol and I know about the Thanks button but I usually type it too. :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Whatever floats your boat. I also recommend familiarizing yourself with the search function, it will make your life infinitely easier in the event something goes wrong or even if you just have a question, odds are somebody asked it first.
