[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halle:
When the S III was released in spring 2012, I bought it. I should also point out that is was my first Android Phone. However as I grow tired of all phones pretty fast (regardless of UI), I sold my S III and bought the Iphone 5 in september 2012. It did not take long before I started to miss my S III. Or, at least the flexibility Android has compared to locked down iOS.

Recently, I sold my Iphone 5 and bought the Note II. I really love it and for the first time ever I feel like I'm gonna keep this phone for a long time. At least until the Note III comes out.. :good:

One great thing about the Note II is battery life. It's outstanding (and I thought battery life in Iphone 5 was great, lol). Another great thing is thas it has a NON-pentile-display, as seen in the S III. Thank you Samsung! Also, the phone is very fast. However, as mentioned in another post, you can't compare smothness between Android and iOS. Here, iOS wins hands down. But for me, it does not really matter. The only OS that beats iOS in smothness is Windows Phone.

To do a small comparison between the SIII and the Note II...Well the Note II is bigger. Actually much bigger. But, not in a bad way. You get a stunning huge 5'55 non-pentile AMOLED display. The Note II also feels much more solid, maybe do to it's higher weight. Well well.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sansserif:
Actually, the iPhone and Android are two different "species" of phones, so I wouldn't really compare them, despite my contribution of pros and cons of each phone to people on google+ and in real life. In the end, it all depends on the user preferences and usage. iPhone 5 isn't as popular as the 4S here, but S3 is widely used. Maybe because I live in a small country where users all depend on word-of-mouth for phone preferences. I nearly bought the S3, due to the % of friends and relatives on the S3, but eventually settled on the Note 2 as it supports my usage.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THUDUK:
Android will never be as smooth as iOS, simply because android is working 3x harder to do similar things, iOs utilises a far simpler way of multitasking ie tomb-stoning which basically puts apps into a freeze state with push notifications.

Android actually runs apps in the background, be it at a lower draw on the processor and when coded correctly can work very well, often doesn't.

the ios way of running is similar to windows Phone as well, simple yet extremely effective. the beauty of the ios setup is the simplicity of flipping around to open your app and very fast one handed controls it truly is a swiss army smartphone, tiny fits in pockets easy and the super clear crisp LCD is pretty good at displaying everything that a larger screen can display.

Also especially with the Iphone 4s the sound quality is second to none for a smartphone. With all android phones you get sound chip hiss when they start up the sound chip, hugely annoying when listening to low volume music at night in bed.

This is the one main reason I am thinking going back to a 4s.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdgaBimbam:
yeh, my iphone 5 is way smoother than note2 but IOS hasnt so much features like android which doesnt let me sell my note 2 ;D i have needed to send doc file to friend via bluetooth, but couldnt with iphone...lol
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
I agree with your post, except this. Sound chip hiss when it's starting? What? It's not like the chip is run by steam and has a crank to start it. I've seen reports of similar issues, but it always come down to the headphones, not the source.

I've had a side by side comparison of a HTC Desire, iphone 4 and a Samsung galaxy s with voodoo sound, the wolfson mod, on a HiFi setup. Seriously, anyone who do this, regardless of how audiophile you are, will hear that the sgs is on another level.

And the note 2 is coming close to it now, with scoobydoo and the mods in uNEAK kernel at least.

I'm not the type of guy who gets irritated by differing opinions, but I just had to write this because it's so completely opposite of my experiences.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BullHorn7:
Once you got Note 2, you can never go back to the tiny toy phones. This thing has it's flaws (slightly creaky cover, too-loud speaker that makes the phone vibrate, some phones have issues with the S-Pen or the Wacom) but I don't see myself replacing this phone in the close year.

I'll see what SGS4 and SGN3 bring this year. :)

And about sound:

:)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
^ that is very true, but luckily, flac is more and more common. :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylec:
I don't have a "hiss" per se, but I do get a speaker pop every now and then especially when I pause and resume a video when playing through speakers not earphones.

Are you or anyone else getting something similar?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BullHorn7:
You're missing the point. FLAC still sounds like crap with a pair of iBuds. The earphones that came with the Note 2 are TERRIBLE - I only use them at work when it's loud and I need the sound isolation + built in microphone.

I usually use Ultrasone Pro 900 headphones (~$400 where I live). When I feel like I want to listen to loud rock or trance, I even use an external portable headphones amplifier (Got a PA2V2 for travel). The Note 2 sounds almost as good as the Galaxy S/Nexus S, I haven't tried those scoobydoo and other fixes yet, maybe it could sound even better.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yahyoh:
Android is smooth as IOS but there is big thing slow down andorid the Dalvik VM :silly:

but that how u can run the same apps on many SOC without problem if android only work on 1 or 2 cpu's it will run fast and smooth as IOS and WP and without the VM :rolleyes:

but android still great and fast but its still have frame drops even with project butter :/

and no i will not switch to IOS nor to the Crappy WP

:confused::confused:

and did u ever tried phone with Wolfson audio chips + Voodoo ??

and i don't have any hiss on my note2 nor on my s2 or galaxy nexus , u have to check if u sources are hq :eek::eek:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jujuburi:
Then how come it's 'as fast as iOS'? Lol.

I used my friends Galaxy S with Voodoo, the sound was very good, but 4S's audio output was better than it. And the camera image quality, still rocks.

Maybe there are some tweaks for Android to change some things, but you can never modify a Lexus to a Ferrari.

Swyped from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yahyoh:
HMM yep its fast as IOS :eek::eek:

but with non native apps it will run little slower

LOL , i don't know what u r talking about my s1 with voodoo can output sound better than my laptop with realtek hd :silly::silly:

maybe IP4s output sound better than high end sound cards :laugh::laugh:

BTW today i had chance to play with my friend IP5 and this thing feel like baby toy :p , i didn't like at all and the screen so tiny and the IOS still the same as IP4 -_-

edit : the battery on IP5 sucks as **** it drained about 40% in about 30 minutes screen on O_o without any gaming at all ( just set up wifi - new itunes account - very little browsing )
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jujuburi:
Lol, okay, it's okay that you love Android, and hate iOS, everyone is entitled to his/her choice, and I respect that.

But I do love my iPhone, and do like iOS, even with some nonsense restrictions provided by Apple.

:cool:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @rbiter:
Seriously? I've been reading up on a lot of stuff and the I phones definitely have hiss. Apple just turns off the internal amp when there is no source and the hiss goes away. And unless you have properly mated gear that all complements each other, hiss can and will be audible. There is always a noise floor in recordings that can be taken out, but again unless you have perfectly matched gear, it won't completely disappear. And for the time being, I'll take Wolfson over cirrus logic any day of the week. Cirrus logic is hit and miss sometimes, but apple definitely put a hit on the sound chip. Samsung and other manufacturers need to come out with more line out accessories for their flagship phones for the music lovers otherwise android will continue to be disregarded as music lover's os.

The earphones that came with the note2 are awesome. For freebie earphones. Other than that they suck, and easily overdriven with pa2v2. And how are the ultrasones with pa2v2? I read ultrasones can be fatiguing since they're so trebly.

+1

at least they are better than my old Sony in ear headphone + they have cleaner and better bass + they don't crack the sound on high level with sound boost :D
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @rbiter:
I wasn't even gonna use them but I was cleaning out stuff and said screw it and was pleasantly surprised. They eq well, but won't play nice with pre amp boost and can't go very loud when using portable amplifier. But they do have a nice sound for freebies and they fit very well. I have some beyerdynamic custom one pros coming next week. Can't wait. :D

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylec:
lol I wish Android was as smooth as iOS. Sadly even with a quad core cpu and 2gb ram, the Note 2 does lag whether it be due to poorly optimised apps or whatever. The phone app lags, s note lags, I notice scrolling lag in app lists, widget lists. Surprisingly quite a few places.

Gave away my iOS devices because I much prefer the Note 2 and windows 8 ultrabook as i find them more intuitive (in my opinion), but the lag is my only gripe
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @rbiter:
Some of that is not lag. It is loading, whether cache or internet. Also, you can enable force GPU rendering in developer options and much of the stutter while scrolling in poorly optimized apps like cough cough xda will be gone.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dewaynelives:
I have had iphones since 09 I kept goind back to iphones everytime I got a android phone untill I got the siii and note I had the iphone 5 and then got the note 2 in short the note 2 is the best device I have ever had and will never go back to a iphone I love being able to download ringtones without having to pay the price of a full song for a ringtone I just think the note 2 is the best option I doubt too many will disagree but all in all its what works for you
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylec:
I spose. Already have gpu rendering enabled. Any idea why it isnt enabled by default?

Haha yup xda is among the worst offenders lol
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
Using the stock buds is a non topic, so I assume nobody who quests for good sound uses those. It would be like discussing really fast motors in cars without tires.

Try scoobydoo, there is a quite noticeable opening of the mid range with it, and the hardware eq is great. Though I can't remember on the fly whether the hardware eq is in scoobydoo or only the neak kernel implementation of it.

[Ubuntu Touch General] teh_cANONs:
Is this going to be like Ubuntu in that Ubuntu is essentially Debian with packages added, some tweaks, and different themes and whatnot? (Basically, not trying to undermine the work canonical puts into the OS.) I'm thinking this could be android , but tweaked in the same way Debian is tweaked to become Ubuntu. Or could this be straight up Ubuntu with the phone elements added in? Does anyone have any insight on this? I'd like to know more about what this is going to be.
[Ubuntu Touch General] trenbeth:
In Free software, the individual software components are always being reused, and this is the correct practice.

Debian is the upstream distribution for Ubuntu, so the basic packages are related to Debian, and might have some small changes in Ubuntu.

However, the full composition is Ubuntu, which includes additional packages that are currently found only in Ubuntu.

It is acceptable and encouraged in Free software to reuse software components. That's the purpose of Free software.
[Ubuntu Touch General] rekrapg:
It's straight up Ubuntu, well a fork of Ubuntu for mobile resolutions, touch screens, etc. With added support for ARM devices and Android kernels. You can currently install the ARM version as a full OS on Nexus 7 devices, although it's far from polished as a full OS on tablets. The mobile OS is something different again, and should be great if it's done right. I already use Ubuntu 13.04 as my daily desktop environment, dual booting with winblows only for some games. Ubuntu for desktop just gets better and grows on me more each week, and each update. I imagine the phone OS will be similar, take a little learning, but become addicted with use.

(currently ubuntu 10.10 & HTC HD2 & DesireHD only)

to the new ubuntu version that comes out soon.

I have some Questions:

I there a standard x-org server or do they bake their own bread like android ?

Can i use Modules from a 2.6.x Kernel Source ?

Can they release it closed-source ?
[Ubuntu Touch General] jscurtu:
1. don't know if there is a xserver involved or what, we will see when released.

2. hmm why would you want to do that? We dont know if canonical is using its own kernel based on the android kernel or if it will be the exact android kernel in which the device comes preinstalled.. We will see..

3. No.. sofar I am aware of, the core might be GPL'ed code, just like the Linux Kernel.. But we will first know when released, it could be LGPL too.. Thats what Qt is released on..

When it is released you will find the code on launchpad.
[Ubuntu Touch General] teh_cANONs:
I really don't see why they can't use the same kernel that ships with the phones, since the android tree is included in the Linux kernel, and it is obviously open source. I think it would be trivial to redo tons of work that has already been done.
[Ubuntu Touch General] blackout23:
Ehh they already said that they're going to use the standard android kernel of the phones....
[Ubuntu Touch General] jscurtu:
Not really.. They said it is compatible with the android kernel.. As of using its drivers which makes it easier for manufactures to support Ubuntu phone if they already build android phones .... They never said they support the exact one that came with the phone, they might have their own based of the nexus source with their own settings and patches which is what I believe ..
[Ubuntu Touch General] HTCTerrorist:
Would make sense as it would create more dev opportunities for everyone to try their hand at.

I've been searching for my SecPhone.apk so I could decompile it and enable call recording, as described by wanam here.

I've been unable to locate SecPhone.apk under /system/app or anywhere else for that matter. I'm hoping you could point me in the right direction, and might be inclined to share your own mods for auto-recording so I can port your changes for other 4.0.4 users to enjoy.

Any other advice would be appreciated as well.
