I have the Note 2 and personally love it, but if you don't need the size, then nexus 4 is a much better option. I love the vanilla 4.2 JB and the screen is much crispier, any build quality is top notch [I have both phones]

If note 2 had a 1080 display then, I would so Note 2 hands down.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac11700:
Get a quality BT headphone and you won't have to worry about how you look to other people...personally I really could give a rats behind how others think...but hey that's just me...

Nexus vs Note II...to me it all comes down to do you want the biggest best phone or a smaller phone that doesn't offer as much.

S-pen is there if you need it...and it's always better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

ASOP...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2046616..it has a few minor glitches...but if this is your thing...then enjoy it.

Memory card...your going to want one...just to fill up with all of the videos you'll be watching and music you'll be rocking to...

My advice...prop them both up side by side and watch any video on it...browse the internet..then ask yourself...which offers you what you want/need to enjoy it with

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cy88:
Mac,

No offense but I think your post is pretty bias.

- Yes, you can always bring a BT headset, but shouldn't you be able to hold a phone comfortably on your face instead of having to depend on a BT headset in order to not look silly? Also, how about the people that don't like bluetooth headset in general?

- S-Pen, yes, it's better to have but at what cost? Size of the phone?

- Touchwiz isn't without it's own glitches, whether AOSP or not is a pure preferences whether it has bugs or not. I actually find touchwiz works well with GN2, AOSP won't.

- Smoothness, sorry, Note 2 just isn't as smooth as a N4 no matter what launcher you put in. It could be due to settings, but out the box even with Nova, it's not there.

- Memory Card - why must he get one?

I do agree with Note 2 having better specs, but the cost is the size. If you can live with the size and Touchwiz, there isn't a reason not to get Note2....but only if you can live with the size.

Cheers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] UCLAKoolman:
Caring about what other people think of you holding a phone to your face reeks of insecurity to me. "Looking Silly" is the last thing that would sway me from buying an excellent device.

Remember how small phones used to be ten years ago? It wasn't that long ago when people also thought 3.5" smartphones were huge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] andrawer:
Cy8888, that's funny you said Mac's post was biased because that's exactly what I thought when I read your long post above. ;)

Remember, the OP asked what people thought and the reply's have been, for the most part, just that. Almost every statement you made in your lengthy post was "your opinion", certainly not facts. For example, I use the S-Pen daily and love it's added benefit and it, in my opinion, is not a gimmick as you stated.

So, no need to call out another forum members post when he is doing the same as you...giving his opinion as requested by the OP.:angel:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cy88:
I was bias because I love/have the Note 2 so much but the size, right? ;)

What I said: "S Pen -Unless you have a use for it, it's a gimmick." - You do, so it's not a gimmick for you for sure. I know a few people that do have a use for it and I am impressed with how they make use of it for work purposes.

Which other point of my post is pure bias? I simply listed out the things I from with using both devices, I never said one is better for another for everyone. However Mac did say that "you are GOING to want one", "BUGS with 4.2", etc etc to just praise the Note 2. OP is trying to make a decision, and words like that aren't going to make his choice easier is it?

I might have worded it wrong, but the fact that it's bigger than normal does draw attention. Yes, you can choose not to care about anyone thinks at all, but there are some actually "dont" want to draw that type of attention with a device. It is a fact that Note 2 is humongous, and that's ALSO it's selling point. Unless you have a need and can live with the size, otherwise you might want to look at other alternatives like SGS3 (which i have one sitting here also if you want comparison) that offers something in the middle.

I apologize if I've rubbed anyone the wrong way, wasn't the intention.

Cheers!

Hello!

So today i installed a new kernel for my HTC Sensation(not the XE).And the kernel is bricked my phone :/

The power/power+volume down/USB not working.There are some method to repair/unbrick it?And if not can anyone give me a tip how much money i need to repair the phone?

Sorry for my english!
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
when you push the power button does your device even switch on?

if yes then it is not bricked

also can you boot your device into bootloader?

if yes then again it is not bricked

now what to do:

flash the boot.img of your rom manually(if you have still access to the bootloader)

if you don't know how see here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 (only extra 1step)

also provide your bootloader details
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Can you pull battery put back in, then press volume down and power, then press recovery by volume down then press power for yes this should get you into your recovery, from there you can restore your back up or you can full wipe then download a different rom and kernel. If you have a nandroid back up restore that. Hope this helps. Best of luck
[HTC Sensation] CopsGoHome:
No my phone wont switch on.

And when i connect the USB for the PC nothing happening.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
if you really can't switch on your device or even get into the bootloader then see here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23078349

which rom do you have and which kernel did you try to flash?
[HTC Sensation] CopsGoHome:
I visited that topic but i cant do that because my PC cant open the SD card.

And i have the original ROM so the default htc sense and i tried to flash this kernel:Kernel_MAC_changing

Yes i know it was a big mistake but i dont known i can brick the phone
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
actually you have to do this without sim,sdcard and battery

at least did you try to boot your device into bootloader?

if not then pull out the battery, reinsert it and then hold together power button + volume down until it shows you the bootloader screen
[HTC Sensation] CopsGoHome:
I tryed that and not working.

And i am doing without sim/sd/batery.

And when i run the SH script in ubuntu 12 the script coudnt find the bricked phone so maybe my phone is not bricked?A small thing when i finished installing the kernel and rebooted the phone the phone is lighted for a 5sec and since then nothing.Now i watched a video that shows a trick to how to connect the phone in QHSUSB_DLOAD and i succesfully done that but i doing this in windows and the QHSUSB_DLOAD is enabling on windows and i running linux in VMware.And when i connect the QHSUSB_DLOAD to linux and i remove the sd and the batery(i removed the sim when the first time the phone dont botted up) the USB disconnect and the script coudnt find the phone

I hope you can understand this because i said that i am not the best in english and i a noob on phone but please help me :D
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i understood what you said

crap i have no other ideas to provide:(

if you are patient wait for someone else to tell you what to do

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shojus:
"@shojus Yes, Mobile ODIN and Triangle Away support will be coming for the VZW Note 2"

Coming straight from the man himself! ( Chainfire ) :D:good:

These are VERY good apps guys and I happened to pay for them both and they pay for themselves pretty quick and he also offers free versions to members of this community but it's also great to donate to a GREAT dev so this is good news to hear for me! I'm ready to get to flashin! :)

EDIT: Please read this thread. If you don't know what these apps do or have never used them then you should probably stay away from them... These are just words of caution as Adam Outler's method of unlocking is FAR different than the usual method. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jiggity Janx:
I've never used the above apps myself (I have a usb jig) but hear great things about them. Having said that I would caution anyone against being too excited for them and using/overusing them if at all possible. Straight from Outler's unlock thread:

"Conclusion

Congratulations, You're Unlocked. Your Galaxy Note 2 has gone from the most secure device on the market, to the least secure device publicly available. Your device will now accept any flash. Be careful and dont flash with Odin again. Stick to CWM zip packages so as to lower your risk."

You would only need to use TriangleAway if you flash anything with Odin and the above shows that you probably want to be extremely cautious using Odin if you use it at all. I'm sure many of us know the risks involved with using Odin but I had not seen any responses to the above and wanted to put this back out there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] koreankabachy:
nice
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] techgov8:
They are both excellent apps! Used them both on my galaxy s3

Doin' big thangs from my Note Deuce
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rayhodge02:
I never used these apps ...can we use these app if on twrp and unlocked bootloader...was stated before not to use odin after unlocking bootloader:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shojus:
I totally agree that you should definitely use caution while using these apps and they are not really for the noobs but if you need to take your phone back to Verizon for service then Triangle Away totally clears all of your flash counts and worked wonders for me when I had problems with my Samsung S3. Mobile Odin I did not use too much but I definitely don't flash things through Odin that I should not be flashing and like you said everyone should use caution! I didn't meant to sound like everyone should just run out and start flashin through Odin I just really like the ability to use certain features and both of the apps have great functionality when and IF needed... :good:

Conclusion: If you don't know what these apps do or have never heard of them then you probably should not use them...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Mobile Odin is mean for restoring your phone to stock if the USB port has stopped working. It isn't meant for casual flashing really, though it can be used that way, and I'm guessing people probably do use it that way. TriangleAway is another tool that is really only mean if you're looking to return your phone for warranty purposes and is one of the last things you would do before unrooting. Neither tool is something you use just for fun or because you're feeling bored. It is nice to get both of them though in case they are needed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shojus:
Exactly...:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Geezer Squid:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wickets:
Im new to this so, please excuse my confusion, but nearly every thread on xda explaining how to root the note 2 has downloading and using odin in the instructions. what should we use to root instead of odin?

thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] techgov8:
Mobile odin is more for developers that have to use odin files to flash. If you unlocked your bootloader then you shouldn't be using odin anymore because you'll have a custom recovery. You just flash zips. But if you didn't unlock yet and your still flashing odin files then you would be able to use this. Its basically there so you dont need a computer you can do it all on your phone and flash new ROMs.

Doin' big thangs from my Note Deuce
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dcdgoth:
I'd never used mobile odin before.....but can anyone show me how to use it?

Let's say I wanna flash revision rom1 and pit file. How do I flash it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wickets:
Thanks for the clarification.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
You can't use Mobile Odin without being rooted, so you can't use it to initially root your phone. Again, you shouldn't be using it at all unless you're restoring your phone to stock with a broken USB port. Also, the VZW Note 2 isn't on the supported list yet, so you shouldn't even be trying to do anything with Mobile Odin or TriangleAway right now.

[General Questions and Answers] mcmb03:
The cheapest, best quality ones would probably be the Nexus 7, Kindle Fire, or Nook Tablet. They are over how much you want to spend, but tablets that run for about $100 are really poorly made.
[General Questions and Answers] Erick.ecd:
kindle fire it's a good option
[General Questions and Answers] jaggythistle:
I guess it would depend on the ages of the kids under 12 I would suggest a cheap one as there more likely to break it through dropping it or spilling something over it or whatever! I got 4 tablets from ebay for my kids and one was only £87 that was the cheapest one for my 9 year old and it is a very good machine for the price I really can't fault it if you look hard enough and be very careful if you buy from places like that make sure you only pay through paypal so your payment is protected oh and it was a envy9 am sure hewlett packard makes that, you can get a 7 inch for cheaper again and there perfect for children.

But have recovered and I noticed the problem before I lost my IMEI.. I use my wifi at work to connect my work computer to a VPN.. It could be my work computer just being finicky but it gets booted off a lot. All in all it works really good I just wonder if there's a way to check 4 G for any problems..

I really don't like propietary ports and eventhough l'm very close to pulling the trigger and buy an xperia tablet this is one thing that is making me hesitate.

So, it struck me that it would be great to have an adapter instead of the cover which would give you a standard micro USB port. I haven't found anything while searching the net, but surely this should be doable? Just as the Samsung adapters but this one could always sit there until you need the proprietary functionality.
