I envy you :( however I am just a teenager and I'm stuck with this crappy note :D luckily XDA helped a biit but I am still having dreams of the lg nexus :) Hopefully when the next nexus phone comes out I will get it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Zlotin:
AW: Sell your note and buy a nexus 4

Oh god, please tell me why? I don't see any reasons now: my note is still snappy (thanks to jb leaks), there are no games, that aren't playable (my main concern for every phone is shadowgun dead zone and it runs smoothly).

BUT with note I still have a monster battery, monster display and monster storage.

Really, nexus 4 is a nice phone. But I can't find any reasons to change galaxy note, HTC one x, s3 or even galaxy nexus to nexus 4. I mean, if you are looking for a new phone, go and grab it, if you already have one, just pass it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ashkan_mc:
Ok here are my reasons:

1) nexus 4 uses gorilla glass 2. Search a bit about it. It is actually thinner and when you swipe your finger on screen, because of the elimination of the extra layer, you feel so nice and it is like touching the icon by your finger. You should try to find out what I mean.

2) 2 GB ram and quad core cpu is great. You think your note is monster now but after working with nexus 4 you will change your opinion. Just i.e. I feel flying when I use chrome compared to note.

3) battery is great here. Near 6 hr screen on time under super heavy use. Wifi on all the time, music, surfing, game etc.

4) Most recent upgrades of android. This one worth much more than anything. Imagine that in May we are gonna get key lime pie 5.0 and you are still on 4.1

How much more do you need?

By the way ips is much better than amoled. With amoled and the over saturation your eyes get tired after a while but with ips no !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ueihtam:
Can you tell us the reason why you're coming in the Galaxy Note section to tell to Note users (ie peoples who choosed to buy a Note) to buy another mobile ?

Seriously, go touch yourself in the N4 section, if Note users want to trade their mobile for a N4 or anything elses, i guess they'll be smart enough to go in the right section.

And my 2 cents, N4 sucks for me, no need of the hardware and i prefer a bigger screen + Spen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Tom-Helge:
Nexus 4 is a great phone. No one will deny that, but there is something many of the users here would agree with me on. And to let you see why, then i'm gonna answer all of your points here.

1. Samsung Galaxy Note II also use Gorilla Glass 2.

2. Samsung Galaxy Note II also have 2 GB RAM and a good Quad-core CPU.

3. The battery is much better on the Galaxy Note II.

4. Samsung Galaxy Note II also gets the latest releases thanks to XDA-Developers.

So, my question is then, why should anyone go from a Galaxy Note to a Nexus 4 instead of a Galaxy Note II?

And don't get me started on the multiview windows functionality that is actually a reason alone on why we Note users choose a phone like a Note over anything else.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ashkan_mc:
Because if you sell your note and add 30 $ or euro more you can get a perfect phone but for note 2 you should pay around 150 euro more.

Besides, lets face it, google support is better or xda? Xda without source code can not do anything ! And samsung sucks at releasing source codes !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ashkan_mc:
I am not forcing here :D I had note 3 days ago. I simply express some facts !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] garytube:
i'm playing a lot ingress lately and i tell you my note performance way better then nexus 4 .

but the nexus 4 is a beautiful device - but i would not trade
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] solarboy:
Something all these Galaxy Note wanabe's seem blind to is the s-pen ; it's not just about a larger than usual phone screen, but you can write on it...properly..with a pen...detailed stuff, useful stuff. If all you want is bigger Angry Birds then I'm sure one of the other 5" + screens are great but the Note is successful because it serves all the creatives out here who are not happy drawing with a fat finger. Maybe it's just me :cyclops:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dsmas:
He is sharing his experience and views. He may be right or wrong. I like my note. But I am not loyal to note. I will buy a better one as per requirements and budget. Views help as hints.

Non removable battery is a deal breaker. Can you replace the battery without breaking something ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xdapao3:
I had my Note for 15 months and LOVED it, best smartphone in the world BY FAR. Actually, I would say the ONLY REAL smartphone in the world as it was the only one actually USABLE.

I just upgraded to a Note II which is improved in literally *everything* but in the most important spec (display dimensions) and the least important one (looks. I liked much better the Note I).

The Note II has a smaller display in its shorter side and that's my ONLY gripe with it, I hate the fact that they went with the 16:9 aspect ratio and the fact that 5.5" 16:9 means a NARROWER display and that's why I initially hold off upgrading but after seeing IRL what 2GB of RAM really mean I instantly bought the Note II and sold the Note. BEST UPGRADE EVER (save for the stupid display aspect ratio...).

The Nexus 4? It's an Apple-like P.O.S. which with its MORONIC non-removable battery, ridicolously insufficient non-expandable internal memory and small display is totally *useless* and *worthless* to me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nanomet:
a device with at least large screen (>5inch), s-pen, tablet rom (with all features Notes is offering), nice design (quare, not s3-like) would get my consideration, a bit, otherwise none will be comparable with the incredble Note

the sucking hardware does not matter, at least IMO, even a Nexus 40 will be said like this OP when the Nexus 41 comes, you should know how to use your device, or you will sell your Nexus 40 soon for a Nexus 41

it is crazily rediculous for these words in Note area
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
there is no way on this earth you could convince me to buy LG hardware.

Also No micro SD = deal breaker.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zas311:
Thanks for your expression but No thanks.

Nexus 4 is not 5.3 inch. It does not have SPen. No multi-windows. The display does not show true black. Blurry scroll--Amoled screen refreshes so much faster than lcd. Those are the reasons I stick to my beloved Note until Note 3.

Not a big deal at all, 5 minutes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lukabike:
As a current Note I owner I've tested N4 for 2 full days. I can only say 2 good things about it: the uber sexy body :p and smoothness. Apart from it - no SD card and a worse camera are a no-go. Before testing it, I used CM10.1 on my Note but after a month or so I decided I was missing Samsung's touch too much (I like the additions and a bit nicer GUI). So I installed RR ICS V12 and completely happy now.

I also realized that Note is too big for me - the one-handed operations feel like on the edge of dropping it all the time! So I skipped Note2 and waiting for S4 now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ashkan_mc:
I totally get what you all are saying. I was very doubtful too, especially about screen size but now I am sure that for a phone it should definitely be below 5 inch. Now I am sure that the concept of phablet is crazy.

I will get a tablet soon and I think this is right. Big size of note 1 was really annoying for me.

About note 2, I agree that it is way better than note 1 and the reduce in its width was a clever action. But guys! Direct update from google is something that no one can overlook it.

S pen had no use for me at all and I am sure if someone really use s pen he or she should get note 10.1 or note 8 not this because it is way too small for using a pen on
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ashkan_mc:
By the way, 16 GB is more than enough at least for me and non removable battery is no problem at all. Why do you want to get it out seriously?

This phone that I have right now is flawless !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nanomet:
why talking about phone in Note area =)) you want phone and tablet, cheap phone and Note 10.1 man, I do not want carry them both then I use Note, not only a phone (even sammy forgot their idea at the begining with silly phoneui so far, xda offered tabletui both ics and jb)

=))
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Rayan:
Dude, most people if not everyone do lots of research before upgrading phones based on our own preference. We go to different forums and play with different options at the local store, so your PERSONAL opinion is irrelevant and a waste of time.

I can see you are happy and all which is awesome, but the way you wrote your post sounded more like trolling than anything else.

I think you'd get a better response and audience over at the Nexus forums.

Cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ashkan_mc:
I do not want to get audience. I just said something that I am sure most people here are thinking about.

Have fun with your note :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] friedje:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Rayan:
Most people here think about Note II or even Note III, but thanks anyways.

Have fun with your memory-crippled, non-removable battery LG phone... :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
Because lithium ion batteries have limited life span. I don't want to buy a new phone when the battery degrades. 10$ battery and my note is like new again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ashkan_mc:
When yesterday I saw that samsung announced that jb will come on March, I realized that only nexus phone can make me happy, so note 1 or note 20 does not make any difference.

I hope this battery last for at least 1 year cause after that I am gonna have another phone :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nanomet:
ack seem you have never known what is going on in the Note area here, no wonder you left and led out these words here
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ashkan_mc:
When you work with real 4.2.1 then you do not call those roms 4.2.1

It is actually samsung's fault but devs are doing their best.

The smoothness of nexus 4 is not comparable with the roms you see here for note. And the leaked jb? It has lots of bugs
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hailmary:
non removable battery for a developer phone? we need to crashtest our phone whilst we cook on something - ...

the trolling here is so funny, but I am sure no dev would do their things if users in this Note acted this way

why someone would cry for help from dev and when he left he led out words on what he was crying for

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xdapao3:
From everything you write it's clear you don't really NEED and USE the full gamut of modern smartphones' features and capabilities while many Note owners most definitely do (heavy powerusers naturally flock to the Note series).

My smartphone is the most important device I have since it's the only one always with me and it really is my "personal digital assistant". I use it for literally everything and that's why the best display for me is the biggest I can fit where I usually keep it (fanny pack mostly/rear pocket momentarily/jacket pocket sometimes in the winter), I keep synced on it the complete set of the most used files I keep on my PC too and that's why non-expandable 16GB internal memory (which really means 12/13GB BTW) is ludicrous to me (I will pretend the 8GB variant doesn't exist) and as for the non-removable battery (the biggest instant deal killer ever):

- removable battery means you have UNLIMITED runtime. reading how folks unnecessarily stress themselves over crippling powersaving settings makes me cringe... I don't have to limit or manage the use of my smartphone in any way, shape or form, I use whenever I need it for how long I need it, period.

- removable battery means you are freed from the slavery of having to keep your smartphone chained down to a wall charger for hours everyday. I use smartphones with removable batteries and separate battery chargers since over 10 years and I have never recharged my smartphone, only my batteries. I could live with having to tether my mobile phones, over 10 years ago, but I can't leave behind my "personal pocket computer".

- the battery is the one component GUARANTEED to fail (i.e. degrade over time) and removable battery means you EASILY, QUICKLY and CHEAPLY replace it anytime you want/need

You mention Gorilla Glass 2, 2GB RAM, quad-core and battery life as why Note owners should "upgrade" to a Nexus 4 probably without realizing that ALL of them (plus so many more) are found on the Note II *in a USEABLE package*. Your only somewhat valid point is quick updates but frankly I MUCH prefer Samsung added features (most of which I do use everyday and greatly enjoy), software and personalizations to "vanilla Android" and its barebone-ness. If the price for it is having to wait for updates so be it and if flagships are supported for less time than Nexus devices amen to that too because since smartphones are so important to me I am going to upgrade before support ceases anyway (e.g. the OG Note is still supported and is going to get JB but I had to upgrade for HW considerations anyway)...

I post in general section not in android development. If you are not happy with this, simply leave and find whatever you like in another section.

Since when this is trolling? Get a word book !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rraaka:
I just want to present a perspective --

Nexus 4 is an immensely popular device especially on xda. its a bustling community, lots of chit chat, bonhomie, development is continuous. so if you eat drink and sleep on xda you NEED a Nexus 4

if you start comparing the specs with other devices and touchwiz features you wont get any where in argument

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DesertHawk:
Sell your note n7000 and get a note N7100 or n7105. Nexus 4 is very boring. I had it and now I'm back on the Note 2. It's far better in my opinion and I'm not getting bored of it. That's my advice.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ashkan_mc:
Many people are not like you. I assure this phone can handle 2 days under super heavy usage and after that 2.5 hr and it is charged again. I myself do not like to change battery every 6 hr for example and have 3 4 batteries in my bag.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ashkan_mc:
That is what I thought but actually it is google quality and it is great. Just hold it for 1 hr and you will know what I mean
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xdapao3:
Yes, of course. Apple users, for example...

I am in the minority of heavy powerusers, just like many other Note owners are too.

But that's the crowd you are addressing, my friend... ;)

If your N4 lasts 2 days under your "super heavy usage" (which most probably is "light to moderate usage" under my standards...) the Note II would last you 3/4 days...

So you prefer to chain down your smartphone to a wall charger every X hours instead of simply swapping the battery (which takes all of 30 seconds) and charging it separately at your convenience..?!? LOL

And when does 6 hours come from?? If your Note was lasting you 6 hours there is no way in hell you are getting 2 days out of your N4...

You want longer runtimes? sell that N4 POS and get a Note II :cool:

P.S. if you really make 2 days on a charge you won't be carrying any battery in your bag anyway, you will just carry one instead of stupid bigger/heavier/cumbersome external batteries if you go camping/long trip/whenever else you won't have access to a wall socket for more than your battery lasts...

Removable batteries have ONLY advantages (PRICELESS advantages, in my case).

Nope, I am not saying that. The Note series is the best for *powerusers*, which you are obviously not.

The N4 is probably best suited for your (limited, compared to mines) needs and wants.

As for "keeping it forever", I am probably going to keep my Note II for roughly as long as you are going to keep your N4...

The OG Note was good for 15 months for me, let's see for how longer than that you keep your N4....

Will do, TNX :good:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] msedek:
That's bs.. Galaxy Note its a very particular device with certain characteristics.. Such as once you buy it there is 2 possibilities or you completely love it, or you completely hate it.. There's no middle terms with this device..

That said if you are in the case of note lover you won't ever swith from anything smaller than 5.3" screen.. That's considered as a downgrade no matter anything else..

Now that the market has other 5"+ devices, note lovers has more options to choose from but, there's no way any of us would change the note for anything smaller..

That puts you in the note hater side and so why are you even here in the note lovers forum?.. Go to your super n4 forum instead and yeah this thread it's trolling and ment for flaming

Tapatalking on my n7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xdapao3:
And in which way is it so funny exactly..?

"Note is good" and "Note II is better" are not mutually exclusive. they perfectly complement each other actually...

Yeah, and..?

Powerful, full-featured flagship are expensive and I thought we were debating features and capabilities here, not price.

If you are proposing to give up features and capabilities to save on price then it's a whole different argument (and one I am not interested in, I NEED a powerful, full-featured smartphone) and despite how you are trying to spin it now that most definitely was not your original point.

And besides, if I couldn't afford a Note/Note II and had to go for something cheaper I would get a Galaxy SII and I would still get a real smartphone and not a useless P.O.S. like the N4 and its non-removable battery, pathetic storage and the rest of its limitations.

The first idea of this thread was proposing that a Nexus 4 is an upgrade from a Note while it actually is a HUGE downgrade and what my replies tried to show you was that the only real upgrade from a Note is a Note II.

Since you seem completely unable to grasp articulate arguments forget everything I wrote about the Note II and try to re-read only the parts comparing the original Note to the Nexus 4.

The gist of which is: the Nexus 4 is, for a poweruser, a useless P.O.S. which doesn't even play in the same league as the original Note.

The Nexus 4 is an upgrade to an original Note in exactly the same way a Volkswagen is an upgrade to a Mercedes...
