[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RickROM:
Just picked up my Note II yesterday after a long debate between it and the DNA. Decided to go with the Note II cause I already feel like my Nexus 7 16GB was a mistake. Bought the Nexus 7 in August, but I could barely fit anything on it and ended up using my Galaxy Nexus more still for the past months. Used my Nexus 7 at school often for eBooks, but never really felt like taking it anywhere else.

The Nexus 7 was smaller than my iPad 2 that I sold earlier this year, but still felt like a pain to carry and the storage limit and lack of data connectivity was more of a pain than I thought. I really wanted a 1080P screen in my next phone, but depending on the viewing distance it wouldn't matter anyway... also don't really care for Sense or non removable batteries or SD cards, so decided to pass on the DNA and get the Note II.

Had the Galaxy Nexus 32GB since this time last year, and said I didn't need a new phone this year, but figured I'd give the Note II a try after hearing rave reviews since I could return it if I didn't like it. So far everything has been good. Got a 32GB SD card to put in it, and I copied everything from the Nexus to the card so I could have all my stuff.

On the Galaxy Nexus, no matter what I did, the screen used most of the battery life. I could barely get 2 hours screen on time out of the Nexus with exteneded battery and with my apps installed. Installed mostly the same apps on stock Galaxy Note, and so far I have 2 hours screen on time with 64% left while tethering and playing music on the phone's speaker... just getting insane battery life compared to the Nexus to the point where I'm shocked at how good it is.

The phone definitely feels faster than the Galaxy Nexus even with all the bloatware still installed, so I think I'm gonna keep it especially since the bootloader will be easily unlocked soon. I can't wait to see some TouchWIZ ROM's or more AOSP-like stuff like Paranoid Android to take advantage of the huge screen by modifying the DPI.

My hands are small, so using it one-handed is harder then the Galaxy Nexus, but it's not completely impossible... just taking some time getting used to. The phone's build quality is amazing even though it is plastic also. The plastic looks nice in grey, and it doesn't feel as slippery as the Galaxy Nexus even though it looks like it would be. Makes it easier to hold the phone than I thought it would... Some people say the plastic seems cheap, but to me it reminds me of Oakley sunglass plastic... feels very light and durable... definitely not the same as cheap $10 sunglasses. I haven't even had the phone for 24 hours, but I'm falling in love already.

I will probably keep it and keep my Galaxy Nexus as a backup since I'm new to Verizon and have no spare phone. I will probably sell my Nexus 7 tho since the Note II's resolution, battery life, and screen size are comparable with the bonus of 4G LTE and phone calls. The screen looks more crisp than the Nexus 7, the colors are better, and it fits in my pocket so it will never get left at home.

Anyone else coming from the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7, or both, and in awe of the note?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 98ramair:
How is the signal strength on the Note II? I have a GNexus right now and swore I would never buy another Samsung due to the poor data connections I have experienced with the GNexus.

The Note II does look like a great device. Just need to make sure I can get mobile data when I am away from WiFi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LBJM:
signal strength is very good with the note 2.. I have 4 out of 5 bars in my room(hardest place for me to get a connection)... With my Tbolt and rezound they averaged 2 bars.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lostnuke:
I came from a galaxy nexus. I'm not looking back. This phone will be a lot of fun now that we are unlocked.

/sent from my Gnote2 using tapacrap\
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FilletMinion:
I'm coming from much the same situation and am trying to decide if I should keep my 7. I love getting updates on time so I will probably sell my gnex and keep the 7. But I do find myself on the couch picking up my note and not the 7. Hmmm...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] johnnyvol:
I'm keeping my 7. Once the newness wears off I'm sure I'll want that slightly larger screen for reading and such at home. I won't be lugging the 7 around while out anymore though. No need because the Note 2 is the perfect hybrid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] randpost:
I sold my Nexus 7 and my Galaxy Nexus. I don't miss either one. I might be in the market for a Galaxy tab 10.1 though. 7 inch screens seem pointless to me now. I should also note, that I used my Nexus 7 primarily for movies and games, which I find that the note 2 is better at doing both.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BennyJr:
This, i'm probably gonna sell my n7 and get the n10
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FilletMinion:
That is the way I'm leaning. I hate 10inch tablets and will probably use my 7 as an expensive e-reader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Have any comparison with the dBm? Bars can be changed and spoofed, but the dBm strength can't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
I played with one at the verizon store and it and my rezound were sitting @ -90dbm. Adrenalyne states that signal is better than the galaxy nexus.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bond32:
I really wanted a tablet for school but I have no money. My dad gave me his old acer a500. It works ok for my meads but not as well as I had hoped so I actually ended out using my s3 more often. Now with the note I get double the functionality. Much better in my case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] guthrien:
This is nearly me too. Selling the 7 paid a contract fee for the Note and I just like it a lot more. The 7 is a great device, but if I'm not using my Note I want more real estate. For me that's an iPad 3 as larger android tablets have never blown me away. The nexus 10 would probably make a decent sidekick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roddyblack73:
Same here still have the other two though (nexus7 galaxy nexus). Keeping them as backups but haven't used them since I got my Note 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
I had the nexus which is what my wife is using now. But I never had data issues on it. Debating between a tab or note 10.1....or an Asus transformer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] johnchad14:
At my horrible signal apartment (we really need a new tower out here), the galaxy nexus hangs around -120 dbm while the Note 2 is about 104 dbm. Also I can actually walk away from windows on the phone without dropping calls again, which would happen with the nexus. We're going to call that a great improvement!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RickROM:
I never noticed abnormally bad signal on my Nexus, but that is probably because I was coming for a carrier that has less reception where I live. It seems like the Note II does get better reception tho, and that could definitely play into the the better battery life I am experiencing.

I'm pretty sure at this point I'm going to sell the Nexus 7 and just use the note as my primary. They both have almost the same resolution (1280x720 vs 800), but the Note II has better colors, faster processor, more ram, and more memory. Note II also has better cameras, more features, and can fit in my pocket.

I used to only like stock Android... didn't like TouchWIZ on my original Galaxy S which drove me to learn how to install ROMs, but now I feel like TouchWIZ is way better and actually brings a lot to the table. My previous two phones were the Nexus S and Galaxy S, so I will miss AOSP a little bit, but not much since there are a lot of useful features for power users that don't slow down the phone now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxxxmarkxxx:
Sony vaio duo 11 is a nice hybrid... I love my note2 but it can't replace a computer or tablet with clients. I haven't done much with it since it's mainly for work but it has great performance so far for a decent price
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] oo3:
I don't have a Nexus 7 but I have a TF700T. I have not pulled out my tablet since I got my Note II. Not sure if that is a bad or good thing. I can't sell it because it was a Father's Day gift and the wife would be upset.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rsmin:
Just sold my 7 and nexus phone. Love the note 2. Best phone i have ever had.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] earled:
I had a Galaxy Nexus and signal was weak. GN2 has much better radios.

Im selling my tf300 since I got this awesome phone
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drc83:
Hi,

I have been trying to decide between a Samsung S2 and Motorola Razr I. I really can't decide and wanted to hear from people who may have tried them and get opinions. I have tried them both, in a shop. I found that the screen on the Razr I seemed a bit more pixelated than the S2.

Also have there been any problems with the Razr using an Intel chip? (in terms of performance / compatibility issues of apps)

Look forward to hearing from you all!

Thanks

Solved: For now the best solution is to put faux123 kernel.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoupySauce:
Try using faux's 1.0 kernel or even the 1.3 kernel for a little bit of extra juice. The default MROM kernel is made for battery life.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lexord:
Will try it..

Btw: are the blur based roms good for this?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesummoner101:
Try it. It just depends on the game. Unless someone has tried the same game, you will not know for certain. Try the faux123's/OC kernels. They're available for both blur and CM7.

CSROM seems to be a good choice since it has the least amount of bloatware. There's also a "Turbo" version of that ROM. Try it. But if it works fine in CM7 now, then just use that.

Try deleting any apps you don't use; some have a habit of starting up and taking up resources for no reason. I personally use LBE to stop certain apps from loading.

If you really need performance, try the 1.45 faux123 kernel. (it's included in CSROM turbo) Keep in mind, your battery will die faster and your phone might run hot.

I'm wondering if you guys think I need to re lock my tablet before I send it back or if it's okay to send it back unlocked?

What tweaks have you done on your phone?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] blodhughofi:
Well, I would make the point on the device. We have a 1 GHz Qualcomm MSM7227A processor single core and only 380 mb of Ram effective. So the device despite the excellent screen runs a little slowly. The latest operating system JB seemed a good starting point for some improvements. I tried to install the CM 10 FXP that almost works but is little tweaked and AOSP that runs even less than CM10. For me the problem with the mod roms is that I can not get the network and so I can not use the phone.

So I worked on the stock rom, for which my biggest problem is that I can not install a CWM recovery permanently ...

First step: get support init.d

Second step: V6 SuperCharger by Zep.

Third step: added a few other tweaks in init.d, including kernel and gpu tweaks.

I also added Project Butter tweak but quadrant score dropped so I removed it ...

Device has the bootloader unlocked, rooted, and Bravia Engine 2 installed via CWM.

Waiting for the JB Vengeance kernel, see what happens ...

It is already for miro and tipo and it has removed lags in every day usage

And almost no lag in games on tipo......

Problem is that I can only make it on ICS 7.5FW though I will include all features of jellybean like Google now also xperia z theme etcetc..

And I can bet that this ROM will remove any lag

and will improve benchmark score and specially nenamark2 and nenamark1

If u want then post in the ROM thread I need at least 6 request I will start the work:laugh::good:

Thanks all !
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Err, stability? It's officially endorsed by Google and has received 4.1.2 from it. Can't have more than that.

As for smoothness, it's decent, but the Nexus S is starting to show its age.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] repulse:
4.2 is official for Nexus, or a port or custom rom like Cyanogen ?

I'm actually on an LG Optimus Black. Age is almost same or i'm wrong?

(Sorry for all my questions)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
4.2 is a port. Not official.

4.1.2 is official though, both are Jellybean.

Nexus S got released in December 2010, Optimus Black May 2011.

Specs are similar on both, although the Nexus S has a slightly stronger GPU.

I wouldn't sell one to get the other though, it's way too similar for you to notice a difference in terms of performance, and since you're moving from ICS to JB it's not like it's going to be night and day.

It might be due to the different build number, or just the problem with the old version rom.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James_Evan_Bond:
This is a long story, so bear with me here. I've looked everywhere on the Internet, and cannot find anybody with the problem I've had. So... about 3 month's ago, my Verizon Xperia Play started acting strange. About 3 weeks after I installed a 32gb Micro SD card on it, I noticed some problems. My phone would randomly turn the screen on and off. The power button would not work SOMETIMES. And, the phone would randomly restart itself from time to time. Needless to say, I was getting frustrated, so I wiped all the memory from my 32gb SD card, and tried to mount it again. My phone told me that the SD card could not be mounted, and was corrupt... So, I put the 8gb SD card that the phone came with back in the phone, and the problems didn't happen anymore. I decided to buy another 32gb SD card, thinking that the first one was defective. I've had this new 32gb SD card for about 2 months now, and the original problems are STARTING to come back. I don't understand... I play A LOT of games on my Xperia Play, and have a lot of music, so I really enjoying having the extra space on my phone. I can't take the phone to Verizon, as I'm through Page Plus (saving money, ha) right now. Has anyone else had a problem remotely like mine...? Any suggestions to what I could do to possibly fix this problem...?
