Hmm I guess im one of the only few that thinks Google/Samsung has done a great job with what they give you from factory.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TeeX2.0:
nah, I think stock is really very good in the Note 2, but rooting allows me to mod the few minor things I'd like to change.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tfly212:
Although I unlocked and flashed beans b6, stock is actually quite good. Down the road though when Verizon inevitably takes forever to release updates, the Dev community will take care of us, which is where I believe the real value in rooting/unlocking will be.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
That I can understand. I dont undestand when people are so obsessed with "debloating" (user apps or system apps which can cause issues) than bloating their phone with widgets/launchers/browsers/battery apps/etc. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BennyJr:
So you want all those bs apps Verizon thinks you want?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eraursls1984:
Well it's not as much of a problem now, but back when I had phones with 512mb-1gb of ram apps that I used all the time would have to redraw frequently but bloat apps I never used were always in memory. If I don't use it I don't want it to take up memory that other apps can use. Also I've had bloat apps use battery even when I never opened them, why does blockbuster use 3-5% of my battery when I never use it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Do you choose what you eat and wear each day?

What if a company decided what you would eat and wear for you? Thats the equivalent of carrier bloat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
The fact that my phone is only running less than 400mb ram at startup and all the other things that I never use are gone and was aable to go from. 6.5 hours of battery to 8 on a regular basis...bout all the reason I need to debloat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] secularist:
I think they did a great job overall...still wanted to remove Verizon and Sammy bloat though. ;) (plus be able to use things like TiBu, Tasker, etc)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
Oh a smart guy.

So you don't think an app can go rouge on a non rooted phone? Well it can.....Difference is I can do more about it.

Also I'm failing to see what debloating and a rouge app have to do with one another?

The more you know. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
You made a statement saying how your battery life went up but at the same time you complained about battery drain in another thread. Not sure which statement to believe when they contradict one another.

Smart guy? I only quoted what you said without saying a word. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nixpunk:
A) On this phone, can I simply root without unlocking the bootloader, simply so I can run root apps? I'm used to the process on DroidX, but new to Samsung.

B) Can a Note 2 be unrooted without having to flash to stock rom?

Just curious.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
If you read correctly that was an occurrence that I fixed right then and there....u know what. Just stay stock. If you're happy then I'm happy. Its all good. Girlfriend just treated me right so I don't feel like arguing or debating anything. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
A) yes... However if you root your 90 percent to unlock so why not go ahead... Its really not hard man...I came from HTC only and this was cake...just read then read again.. Supposedly the process has been super simplified. And having a recocery is worth doing it. But in short yes u can..

B) I don't think so... However if u root and don't unlock you're limited to stock ROMs only except beanstown made an Odin ROM long time ago(And its basically stock). I think that's it. So that shouldn't be an issue since you'll be stock anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shill1986:
To each their own. I am happy with stock root injected for the time being, I really like touch wiz even the way it is, don't mind not having calender widget, even though id like it, I probably wouldn't use it as much as I think I would. And I hate a cluttered shade but the nag isn't as nagging anymore, even though I have the toggle now. I would like to customize, like I used to with Linux, but eh. Plus, i don't even have a computer. Lost my computer and cable/Internet with the first Droid a few years ago. Cut the cord! I miss my computers though :/

But yeah, to each their own
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iflip:
Adding all apps in the multi Window was the deal breaker for me. I don't care about overclocking and undervolting or any performance enhancements. Beans rom has the ability to read and write iphone emoji. An optional plus for me. But multitasking is everything for me right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ManWolfePack:
Ads!!!!

I f'in hate 'em!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Ads?? I never had any on stock :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ManWolfePack:
They're there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nixpunk:
So is any functionality lost when rooted with this phone and stock rom (Verizon)? I know I read something about losing camera or muIti-window. If nothing is lost, then I will root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spyderman09:
If purely rooting, no. No functionality will be lost from stock at all
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nixpunk:
Good to know. How about OTA updates? Will they work correctly? All my rooting/modding experience is with Droidx phones, so I really appreciate the input.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spyderman09:
That's where some of the issues lay right now. There is an OTA currently out that introduces an updated bootloader, etc. and may cause you to lose root. Some have suggested that they were able to get root right back. Others say they had trouble with root. If you are only rooting and don't care about the bootloader/custom ROMs, I think I read someone did it and re-rooted no problem.

I currently am unlocked/have flashed a custom ROM, so I do not have the OTA nor will I be flashing it, as it (for now) re locks the bootloader. So, I wouldn't be the best source regarding taking the OTA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MrNetwork:
I have some questions:

1. If I root, do I have to reinstall all my apps?

2. Exchange server: will I be able to use my company's Exchange active-sync without the 15-digit security PIN being required every 15 minutes? If this is possible, I'm in.

3. Some of you are indicating you have custom roms installed, but I thought the bootloader was locked and custom roms couldn't be installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tfly212:
1. No

2. Rooting alone won't change that, but it's possible that someone has a rooted workaround, try searching the forums for that specific issue. If your company instituted that level of security though, you might not want to mess with it.

3. The bootloader is locked. Rooting does not change that. If you want to flash ROMs you will need to unlock the bootloader, which if you do this using Adam's method will also root your phone (assuming you haven't taken the OTA update).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thenuke1:
i agree with most.

if you have to ask then you probably shouldn't.

if your happy with your N2 being completely stock then just leave it as is.

if you dont like having absolute control over something you own then my hats off to you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] endo689:
Every android device that I have owned I have rooted and flashed until now. The phone itself is very stable and great, which is one reason why I havent rooted and flashed just yet. Other reason is waiting for a couple more months to see the amount of roms developers put out there to grow :). Gotta love variety lol.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ILMF:
My $.02

I unlock and root simply because I trust the developers here more than I trust Verizon.

Unlocking and rooting then makes all the things already discussed available. I too came from the bolt. A device Verizon took and couldn't get right. Team Bamf had the voice mail notification problem fixed a couple months before big red, so to me, the note2 stock is amazing. Unlocked and rooted, it's by far the best device I've owned.

unlocked Note2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ManWolfePack:
I'm unlocked and rooted now, but had it stock for about a week. Out of any phone I've had, this is the one I'd be okay without rooting. It's a straight beast out of the box...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
i agree...the only thing i couldnt stand was the ads.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac of York:
I rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader within one hour of being home with it. :D I just do it for fun! Wife didn't though and she still loves it... and I'm happy that she's happy (and can't blame me for anything that goes wrong with her phone!).

I rooted and unlocked so I could install Beans, was reading about it and I was very excited. I also don't like the stock touchwiz look.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
Another former Thunderbolt owner here.

Had it rooted 3 hours after I got home. Spent the next hour wondering why I bothered.

This is my fourth smartphone and the first one I could have left stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ManWolfePack:
Ditto! Lol. Did you see me post that a while back, to which some dude replied "What ads?"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eraursls1984:
I have to at least root so I can deodex, theme, restore data, and remove bloat (which doesn't bog this phone down like it used to, but I still want it gone)

hi mates

as you see in the pics i have problem with attachments. email apk gets jpg, rar etc. files as unknown. after download jpg files they can be opened from phone but i send it to pc via bluetooth pc cant open them

how can i fix it. thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manjeev:
Hi,

Check the file details. Most of the times .pdf/.jpeg/.doc etc is not there in the downloaded file. Just add it by using rename. Then open or transfer to PC. It will work.

Cheers!!!!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrtkts:
Ive tried but it didnt work. And after download attachments to my phone they look like unknown
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flint6:
I've been rooted for a little over. A year and something. I keep finding with very few exceptions with any rom that I have flashed is, all videos saved to my SD card skip. Any ideas for a fix or is this just par for the course and I should just watch saved video on my laptop or media player?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyanJustice:
Sorry for the bump, need a couple more posts. It could be your video viewing app, seeing as you've already tried a few other roms. I use MX video player. Good encoding options. Could be your kernel, too. A little more information on your setup will usually have people answering your questions.
[HTC Droid DNA] x70xchallengerx:
Some rumors and leaked images about the HTC M7 and *apparently* the Sense 5 UI.

original story: (with screenshots) http://www.slashgear.com/htc-m7-and-sense-5-ui-leak-reveals-more-details-11264958/

Do you think we will see Sense 5 officially on our DNA?
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
If HTC sticks with their new jellybean upgrade pattern of all devices getting the same sense, yes

If not? Then no
[HTC Droid DNA] klarson:
Pretty sure we will. Our hardware definitely will support it. Plus it's Verizon's premium htc device.... Now the timetable for the update... Well, that could be a while.
[HTC Droid DNA] holla420:
I sure hope we see this that would be messed up for the DNA not getting this
[HTC Droid DNA] TXI Kaze:
Love how they talk about how the M7 as the phone that brings over the polycarbonate design from the Windows phones....when the DNA uses polycarbonate.
[HTC Droid DNA] lidzhet:
HTC M7

Why of why it's not 5-inch 1080p screen smartphone? Kind of bummer. I also thought this one is gonna be the Tegra4-armed device.

---------- Post added at 03:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 AM ----------

I'm wondering is the 13MP camera sensor has Exmor technology on it? If so, then it's must be from Sony, right? Just like on Lenovo IdeaPhone K900.
[HTC Droid DNA] idkwhothatis123:
You know, to me the m7 isn't that much of an upgrade. I love my DNA. 8 to 13 mp for my phone display isn't a game changer in my mind. The increased storage and slightly faster cpu aren't either. And you lose screen size.
[HTC Droid DNA] x70xchallengerx:
I have no doubt we will see this on our phone ~eventually~, I know devs will have it on our DNA before HTC does, IF they do.

I am coming from the ReZound where I had Sense 4, something that was never intended to be on it, and before that, the HTC Droid Inc, which had AOKP ICS :D

I actually really hope Sense5 doesn't look like this, because they need to start going WITH the times and not against it. I still can't believe they retain their fat statusbar with the lame grey to black gradient >_< what is this, sense 2???
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Don't really care for Sense 5, I'm holding out for Viper Rom or an aokp-based Rom.
[HTC Droid DNA] croppz:
M7 will be a good phone no doubt...but I like my 5 inch 1080p screen too much.

I can't wait to see what phones come out this year that will tempt me to sell my DNA.
[HTC Droid DNA] Danzoman:
If sense 5 looks radically different don't count on it. Vzw doesn't want the average customer that buys it and doesn't tinker to have to experience a forced major UI change. It confuses the average consumer whether its for the good or bad. Just my $.02

Via Viper DNA Beta
[HTC Droid DNA] BarryH_GEG:
So, what do we think? It's probably real because EVleaks has been spot on with all their previous leaks of HTC's devices. I kind of like it and it's nice to see HTC taking a new design approach. The whole soft edged rectangle thing was getting a bit stale. It will be really cool if the display is edge-to-edge horizontally making it ultra-thin in its class. I give them credit for trying something different.
[HTC Droid DNA] Danzoman:
Looks like Igarbage to me.

Via Viper DNA Beta
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
the leaked screenshots dont make it look as different from sense4 as sense4 was from sense3.6...that change was about as different as you could get
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
If it looks remotley close to that expect apple to sue them out the frame.
[HTC Droid DNA] Danzoman:
That's what I was referring to. The Rezound not getting 4.0 officially. It was a big change even one for the better kept from the consumer.

Via Viper DNA Beta
[HTC Droid DNA] x70xchallengerx:
Personally I'm hoping that *AT LEAST* in a new version of Sense, that they make the UI proportionate... I run the DPI at 320 and when I flashed a rom that went back to 480 DPI, God it was ugly! Haha. Having the Digital Dreams rom, at 320 DPI... the phone truly looks beautiful and futuristic as far as the UI goes, not including the hardware itself is gorgeous.
[HTC Droid DNA] barondebxl:
I like it. Design wise, I'm sure HTC is gonna nail it for the M7. Are those stereo speakers or something?
[HTC Droid DNA] cihanleanne:
i kinda like as long as they dont waste screen with menu dots

i just purchased this app yesterday before this i used sixaxis i have everything working fine except one thing i noticed on this you can change the analog stick to mimic swiping the screen but with sixaxis you can do this with every button so makes it alot easier to use swap weapons on nova ect so my question is can u also make a button say the y button onthe xbox controller do this aswell thanks in advance

ive been trying to contct developer directly but it seems this is a dead project

No Dev Support ????

Proof that dev is boosting google play ratings

Dear Sir/Madam,

My friend Poke64738 whome i work very close with said you were planning on releasing

a couple of apps if you want i can provide you with the same service as my friend

I am able to provide 5 star ratings in Google Play:

- Each app will be installed and not uninstalled for at least 1 month to not cause bad rankings in Google Play

- Paid apps are also not a problem (price of the app will be added to the normal price)

- There is no minimum order size

- It’s possible to provide 5 star ratings + positive comment

- iOS ratings also available - Only pay after you are 100% satisfied

Price per 5 star rating = $2,00

Price per 5 star rating + positive comment provided by yourself = $2,50

Order more than 100 ratings and get 500 Google Plus +1's for free!

Good ratings will generate more downloads because the app will be listed higher in the Google Play search results.

Best regards,

Jasper

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MWisBest:
I was talking with the Verizon store where I live and I was looking at getting a Galaxy Nexus. I was told that it has issues involving data and extended networks (I live in an extended network area). I don't remember the specific details but I was wondering if these issues were addressed in an update to the phone, be it Android, radios, kernel, etc. Anybody know? Thanks.

Well you won't get 4G in an extended 4G area, and I have 0-1 bars while my OG Droid from 2009 has 3-4 (full), same with my Droid X, and even my Palm Pixi Plus has 2-3 bars.

But its jot like the hardware is malfunctioning, its just the way the antenna is.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] powerwagon:
It really kicks the **** out of any mobile OS on the market by a landslide. I keep wanting to make a switch to something new just because I've been using it so long and I'm kind of bored, but honestly ever time I start really researching what's out there, I realize there is nothing even CLOSE to what Android offers. I was starting to get excited about the new BB10, but once again, after really researching and watching demos, that phone is going to be an epic failure and probably blackberrys ultimate demise. Their big "hub" idea is nothing more than Android's notification system but from the side instead of the top. Windows Phone probably has the most promise at this time, but they still have too many little annoyances for me (no folders, no ability to change email notification sounds between different accounts, no ability to separate your volumes for different notifications/alerts etc) that add up to a big no right now. IPhone is just years behind...I do love their hardware and that alone has made me think about switching, but then I start looking at their software and once again, it's a no.

Oh well...Android is king right now and as far as I can see (now and on the horizon), there is nothing even on the same page. Add the Note 2's functionality and you have an absolute ass whoopin going on...Haha.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lude219:
I'll disagree with you on the BB10. The issue with RIM's past was antiquated software and hardware. They refused to change and the mobile market decided to leave them behind. With BB10, they've basically fused a bit of ios, android and wp into one. Other than wp8, I've used all the other OS on a daily basis to know that each OS has its own potential and I'm sure tech fans would agree with that assessment. I think BB10 will be a huge success for RIM and will also motivate the innovations of the other OS as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dr. Evo:
RIM will motivate other platforms to do what??? Not become as crappy and irrelevant as the BlackBerry OS? There is not one thing that BlackBerry is doing right now (or will be doing) that everyone else hasn't exceeded ten fold. The BB OS makes Windows Phone look Android and iOS combined times three!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crawlgsx:
That is just your biased opinion, nothing more.

I have owned many and currently own an Android phone (Note II). That said I have nothing against WP8, iPhone, or BB10 (yet).

There are MANY features of the Lumia 920 that I like better than any Android phone I have owned. As a phone, it is probably my #1 pick right now. That said I am a flash junkie and I got bored with it. The WP8 market has some quality apps but still lacks in quantity. Also a few quams with WP8, but not too many. Simple things like not being able to set my own custom sms tone (you can chose only from factory options). All in all though WP8 is VERY smooth and the Lumia 920, while slightly bulky (although while thick still doesn't feel bulky compared to a Note II), is a VERY solid handset.

Again iPhone has many good qualities and iOS has by far the best selection of mobile games (I am sorry if you disagree, but this is fact.). The phones themselves do have a nice feel (personal choice) and smaller size which some people demand/want. I personally do not care for them as my own device,but that is almost entirely due to the small screen size (opinion/personal choice) and being locked to itunes which I despise.

I will almost definitely try a BB10 phone on launch unless I find something before hand that I know 100% I won't be able to deal with. I love trying out new phones, hardware and software.

Android and it's manufacturers have their own set of flaws just like Apple and MS/Nokia/etc... I won't bother listing my opinions there out of the flaming I would take over it, but I personally don't consider Android "king" of anything except selection and modification.
