[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SimonTuffGuy:
You hit a lot of the points that I do like about the Note... Battery life is great, 4G LTE in my little small hometown is blazing fast (I didn't even realize, as I had turned off LTE on the Nexus since it drained my battery when we didn't have it here). I had similar thoughts about the recently accessed apps missing, swipe up for Google Now... and I found those by holding the Home button to the point where that menu was then accessible.

I switched back to the Nexus last night just by swapping my SIM card and I really do enjoy this phone. Like I said - I want to like the Note 2, I'd like to keep it because I think it IS a great device... Just not sure that it's the best for me, at least right now. With some of the news on the S4 and future phones coming out sometime this year, maybe I just hold onto my upgrade until a little later and see what comes out.

I'm going to toy around with it for another few days before I'd return it... I'm a little unsure if I want to go through the unlocking and rooting process before I would return it, but we'll see.

Thanks for the advice.

If you're going through all of this.. It's probably not for you. Nothing wrong with waiting for one that works for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eraursls1984:
I feel the same way, and we went through a lot of the same phones, only reason I didn't get a GNex was lack of sd card. I almost waited to see what the Motorola/Google phone turned out like, glad I didn't. The Motorola/Google phone will need to be at least 5" for me to consider it now, but I think the only thing that'll be able to dethrone the Note 2 for me is a Note 3 or 4.

Have they changed the predictions like they said they were going to? I love the layouts and customizable options, but hated the predictions. I now use swift key and love the predictions, but the layouts aren't as good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SimonTuffGuy:
Since I've got 15~ days to return the device and still keep my upgrade, I figured I'd give it a little bit more of a run for its money. After reading some of the responses here, I decided to unlock, root, and ROM the GNII just to see if that would help it any more. I loaded up the Beans ROM, giving a little more GN feel to it. Loaded up Google Wallet and went through the activation process noted in one of the posts from here... Tested it this evening at the local grocery store and it worked, after a failed attempt at McDonalds (which I think was on the cashier, not the phone).

I also swapped for the 4.2 keyboard instead of the stock Samsung one. I think potentially my biggest complaint, and what I saw all over the forums here, was the lack of an autocorrect feature like the 4.2 KB offers. I still notice that I'm hitting the "B" key instead of the spacebar, a lot... But I'm going to keep going here and see how it goes.

Thanks for the suggestions guys!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Benjamin150:
One thing, if your missing the quick Google Now shortcut, download Nova Launcher, go into settings, go to the Gesture Layouts, from there you can make certain gestures on the screen or off an app(as in swipe up on youtube, make it launch Google Now). I have it set to where if I swipe up on my screen, launches Google Now. If I double tap on my screen, it launches Falcon Pro, and swipe down lowers the Notification bar.

U should keep using this phone until something new can replace it!

I have faith though. Not worried. Phone is beast. Battery is straight awesome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ravage73:
after having the note 2 for a week i do not regret getting this beast at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eikast:
I had the Galaxy nexus for like a week two months after it came out and I just couldn't stand the limited internal storage and the crappy radios and battery life. The GN2 is the best Android device on the market.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jbeastafer:
Same here, I've never regretted it once. I love this phone so much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] INCREMENTAL:
This phone is a beast and by far the best phone ive had and after unlocking/rooting it friday and installing jelly beans and overclocking this thing I am completely in love with this thing. And now with 8hrs of screen time, this phone is rediculous.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] polbit:
I just got my Galaxy Note II yesterday, and it is such a mixed bag. On one hand, I love the size for reading and browsing, on the other answering a phone call or even checking the time is a much bigger hassle with it than my old iPhone 4. Having Nexus 7 and 10, and enjoying pure Google experience, I'm also not sold at all on the Touchwiz. For the size of the phone, the huge notification bar, only 4 icons across, a lot of ugly UI elements, and overall poorly scaled interface from a smaller phone makes it feel a bit like a phone for my grandpa. Fortunately installing Nova launcher fixed a lot of my complaints. Once my 14 days runs out, I'll also start playing with ROMs, that should hopefully eradicate the rest of my complaints.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgyberg:
Try Beans or an AOSP rom. I was stock for 5 minutes...if I had to use the phone with the stock UI, I wouldn't own it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
LOL, I'm not sure I would go that far but I'll admit that I unlocked mine about 5 minutes after Adam posted the unlock.........

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgyberg:
I didnt buy the phone until I knew I could completley change the way everything looked! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac of York:
I refused to let the Verizon rep set up so I could defer the update long enough to unlock it! Needless to say though, on the 26th he unlocked it... lol. I got my phone on the 25th.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TxJ0k3r:
I actually like the note 2 very much but I decided in the end to just not get it. Although I loved the big form factor, it was just too much for my large hands. I have large hands but I want to be able to grasp my phone not only be able to hold it from the back

I ended up getting the Galaxy s3 instead for smaller form factor and an upgrade from the s2 (sprint) was MUCH needed. Going from 4G to LTE is amazing. I'll post a screenshot of my most recent speed test.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] polbit:
I just unlocked the phone yesterday (Casual rocks!) but to be honest, now I'm a bit hesitant to flash anything new. Beans does not seem all that different as it still uses Touchwiz, and CM is not there yet as far as completeness. Between some of the issues that people have reported, such as battery drain, BT issues, etc., I think I'm going to wait a bit for the ROMs to mature for the Verizon N2. I know I could back everything up and try the ROMs out for myself, but call me lazy. Plus, Nova Launcher really does solve a lot of problems with stock ROM.

On a brighter side, I've already decided I'm keeping my Note. Packed up my iPhone 4 and sent it off to get my trade-in money. Can't believe I didn't do it sooner!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MacLeod1592:
Had mine for 2 days now and I am having to get used to the size. I absolutely love the larger screen and the hardware is superb. It fits in my pocket with no problem but I drive a beer truck for a living so Im moving around a lot, climbing up and down off a truck, banging into kegs and so forth so as long as its practical for me to keep this baby in my pocket, Ill definitely be keeping it. I have big hands but short fingers so Im cant use it one handed and having to adapt to it. Im sure I can and Im sure Ill even put up with it if I cant cause this thing is so awesome.

I work 2 jobs and not home a lot so I do everything on my phone so I the huge screen, massive hardware horsepower and plenty of storage is exactly what I need even if the size takes a little getting used to.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
Me again.

I posted a few hours ago about a problem with my SMS and text messages not being sent if they were over 160 characters. After receiving help about that and since I'm trying to hit my 10 post mark, I figured I'd make another thread about the other problem I'm having.

So I'm running LiquidSmooth JellyBean 4.2.1 Beta 2 on my Sprint Galaxy S3 and I love it. The only problem I am having is that my headset, a basic Skull Candy headset with the button to stop/play music, mute/unmute calls and also fast forward and rewind music does not seem to be working. I mean I can hear music through them fine and the mic works fine for calls, but the button no longer works on this custom ROM. It was working fine on 4.1.1 stock.

Anyone else have this issue? Any help would be appreciated. It's not a big deal but it is nice being able to cut off my music without even taking out my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Its most likely because JB 4.2 is still in development and doesn't have all the hardware features of the stock ROM built in yet

Definitely sounds like this is the issue since you said you had no problems on a TW rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
Thanks for the reply. Yeah I figured that, though I was hoping for some better news. I'm new to the android world but I was hoping someone came up with something that I can flash and bingo, my button works again ;)

It's not a huge issue, just a small inconvenience really.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Yeah I know what you mean...but the good thing is that there are many talented devs working on this and even if they still cant get it, Samsung will be releasing 4.2 for the S3 sometime soon, so they can build from that if necessary

So wait, is this the stock messenger from the leaked 4.2 ROM with group messaging or is this 4.1.2? Or am I the confused one and they're the same thing?

The s3 totally bought me over on both android and touch wiz so it is unlikely thay I'd upgrade to a windows phone device add I previously thought... Probably to the galaxy s4or s5, and when that day comes ill finally root the s3 and use it with either some flashy custom rom(break my android flashing virginity), nexus style pure android or some experiment like the ubuntu mobile rom, and keep it as my second phone, give my current second phone, iphone 4s to my mother who is upset I didn't give her my old htc hd7 but have it to my brother.

what will you do? Sell your s3? Keep it as a second phone? Hack the hell out of it for fun? Give it to a relative? Destroy it?

although you don't know what the market will be like, what do you predict yourself upgrading to?

I'm gonna sell it soon.

But next time I buy a phone I won't trust all these reviews like I did for the S3.

No reviews ever mentioned slowness issues with the Galaxy s3 (MMS/SMS app, Gallery app, music problems when running chrome etc...)

I will never buy a samsung phone again. I'm done with Touchwizz slowness.

However if Samsung decides to release a GSIV running stock android maybe i'll change my mind. :good:

hi, there is a clrcad.exe/Haret.exe which you run from within winmo which will then boot an sd android.

search here for the program.

when i tried it last it was veeeery sloooow, almost unuseable really.

i did install a Scoot CyanogenMod which was about as good as it will get on the hardware.

now i'm in here again i think i will give a nand version again as i really dont use winmo anymore.

let us know how you get on

maybe you can get someone to make a native-sd version for you ;)

Hi, I have recently gotten a new system and now I can't side-load anything to my phone. I could before. I'm running Windows 8. MoDaCo jr11 ROM if that matters. When I connect it I hear the system telling me I've connected something, but it isn't showing up in my folder explorer or anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Landara:
Ok someone PMed me the proper fix, it's so simple but you'd never think of it! You just have to go to settings/developers(on your phone) and turn off USB Debugging. I know, we've always kept it on but in W864bt apparently you cannot.

First thing i always turn on after flashing a rom that it's not built by me is usb debugging. IMO, it should be on by default on all ROMs.

Seems you are on stock gingerbread.. what I'll think work is flashing a custom kernel corresponding to the stock rom you had on your phone..

flash the kernel through odin by going to download mode.. try starting your phone if it works fine.. if it doesn't then custom recoveries give you option to mount the internal storage while in recovery mode.. connect phone to pc and then mount storage.. you should be able to access your internal card..

I am not a ten posts so can't post in dev section. I have had the nexus since September and played lots with different kernels and roms and am playing surfing for 10 plus hours a day over holidays so know how this thing likes to run. I installed smoothrom today and noticed the back getting hot and the battery reporting 31-32C. It normally runs 28-29C and the back does not get hot unless I am gaming. Its winter here and house is never over 22C so its not that. No GPU over clock and tried 3 different kernels just to be sure. Is there anything that could be loading the GPU in smoothrom? I have run stress tests at 1.5G and not got the battery that high. And the battery is not draining faster than normal.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adinaky:
I'm running SmoothROM too. Of course it's getting hot when you play games, it always will. My temps are the same when I'm playing, you don't have to worry about it, these temps are safe.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you do realize that 31-32C isnt hot, right? you do know that your body temperature is right around 37C, right? holding your device in your hand while its powered off can get your device warmer than that.

[Nexus 7 General] fubaya:
I'm sorry, I have to vent. I guess I'm trying to set a record because I just broke my third N7 after having it out of the box for 10 minutes. My first N7 was dropped on concrete and the screen shattered, so it was understandable. I didn't have coverage on it so I had to pay for a new one. The only place that had them in stock was Staples, so I got the next one there and paid for accident coverage. The second was in my back pocket when I bent over and my butt put a little leverage on the screen and broke the digitizer (not the glass). I think it might have been defective because I remember feeling the screen pop slightly when I tapped it long before it finally broke.

Unfortunately, Staples coverage plan sucks. I sent it in and didn't hear from them so I called them after three weeks. Instead of shipping me a new one, they only gave me a $199 gift card to pay for the 16GB N7 I broke. And it could only be used in the store, not online, and now all the local Staples are always out of N7s, so I had to wait a week for them to be in stock. When they got them, they only got the 32GB, so I went ahead and paid $50 extra for it. After tax and a new coverage plan, I paid $133 out of pocket on top of the $199, so I was a little less than thrilled about the whole ordeal, but still glad to get another N7.

I got it home, sat down to root it and install a rom and I had it resting on my leg when I sneezed and it slid down my leg and came to rest on my shoe. I didn't even drop it, there certainly was no impact, it just slid down my leg and stopped on my shoe. No big deal, right? Nope, I picked it up and the screen looked sort of like TV static. After pushing the power button the screen went off and won't come back on. It's borked.

I love the N7 but this is ridiculous.
