[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NeoDarkKnight:
In the last year I've been through a DROID Incredible, RAZR MAXX, HTC DNA, and now my Note II. It is almost uncanny how much better both the Note II is, and how much Touchwiz is. I seriously doubt I'm ever going to buy anything non-Samsung again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jweimn:
I like it. Was going to get the s4 but now I think I may just hold off till the note 3 and use the money I fet off selling the z10 I tried towards the note 3 instead of the s4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eakeller:
It's hard to go from the Note2 to the S4. I tried it and lasted less than a day.

I came from the Bionic and I can honestly say after 4 months of using the Note 2, I am extremely happy. I have been rooting and romming for a years now and having dealt with the horror that is the bootlocked bionic, this phone is a godsend. I am running with the new Moon Rom and using Perseus kernel and sporting the 9300 mah zerolemon battery. I can go literally 4 days without charging the device now. I hope to hold onto the note 2 as long as I did my charge and hopefully only have to upgrade when the note 3 pokes out of the wood work.

I came from the S3 and I can't believe I didn't get the note 2 sooner!

let's see how many people i make mad with this post :D:victory:

I was a die hard blackberry fan. To the point that if you put another phone in my hands, I would find a reason to break it or loose it, never lost a blackberry :D

however these new fangled droid things came to the market and kept hearing about how awesome they were, yadda yadda yadda :eek:

Soooo i decided what the hay, I've been a blackberry fan since the old dot matrix display n thumbwheel days (matter of fact, I have every one of my original blackberry's, most with original boxes :D ), might as well give the new kid on the block a try.

So, I tried out a droid x. i liked it, it worked ok, was as easy to use as the blackberry and in no time flat i had the device mastered and configured almost like my blackberry.

needless to say, the droid x turned into a royal nightmare after about 3 months. see, having 10 email accounts, each getting 100-500 messages a day, kinda gives the phone a workout. The phone started to have issues, was lagging, crashing, or at one point, bricked itself after an ota. In the 12 months I had that phone, I went through 8 of them.

Then i figured out that I should have bought a flagship device as I wouldn't have had so many issues. My next phone was the actual nexus from verizon. worked great until the GPS chip went bonkers and the 4g died, which prompted me to move to the monster.

being spoiled by the flagship device without bloatware, I was a little worried about going back to a mainstream device. knowing how verizon loves to bloat the phones up with USELESS crap, i didnt want to get this awesome spec'd phone and it be a useless brick cuz its running garbage.

so far I've had it for two months and its worked great. samsung has done a really good job converting a die hard blackberry fan (still am a blackberry fan at heart, but they have REALLY got to step up their game) to a samsung android fan.

I did attempt to root the device and freeze the bloatware, however ran into some unforeseen bugs and have had to revert back to stock :(:crying: I'm a n00b when it comes to flashing these things so I'm not very comfortable with flashing an entire distro onto it as I'm afraid i'll brick it and be out 700$ ( i refuse to sign contracts with the devil.. er i mean cell phone carriers :silly:).

I've been asked by so many people how do i like it and overwhelmingly i tell them its by far the best device ever once you get used to its size. now a days I don't even realize how big it is, and i love the s-pen feature. this has sped up my productivity on my phone (thus increasing my data usage, thank GOD for unlimited data (average between 12-18gb/month))

samsung if you're reading: keep up the good work, but instead of having a billion devices, narrow down your line a bit, pour more into making these devices rock.

note 2, hands down the best phone ever :good::good::cowboy:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gambit61:
This is easily the best device I've ever owned. I just installed Liquidsmooth (4.2.2) from JB18 and it's really cool. Just need to get used to Halo lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blakebn2012:
Most amazing phone I've used. Battery life is great standard however I did buy a great capacity battery which made it even better. Great to watch movies :)

Generally is powerful and large enough to not have to zoom in when browsing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] enik_fox:
I bounce between this guy and the Droid DNA. Both are amazing phones but I tend to find myself using the DNA with a sense 5 ROM more. I just like the screen better but the note 2 is the best Samsung phone I've ever owned!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deathrich916:
I love this phone couldn't imagine switching away from the Note family.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jfrichard:
Love this phone. Made the mistake of letting my wife borrow it and now she wants it. How long before the Note 3 is out...;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chispas117:
I'm loving my galaxy note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcr4990:
By FAR the best phone I've ever had. It blows everything else I've ever used out of the water. Took a few days for me to get used to the size but once you do you'll never go back. Holding my girlfriend's iPhone 5 feels so "Blah" and flimsy to me now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sweeeeet:
dumped my bionic and picked up one of these a few weeks ago.. had huge expectations and this phone met them all... battery lasts all day and then some even w 4g constantly on... i can do so much more w this phone than the bionic w this great battery life.. typically 5+ hours screen on time...everything is smooth and fast.. unlocked and romed running beans w zero issues.. I'll get the note 3 next

I got use to the size of this phone in an hour.. picked up the bionic and said wtf is this junk... lol

Note Duece
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
Love everything but the signal strength. Both mine and the wife's drop calls where our previous tbolts and rezounds didn't. Kids DNA's also don't drop calls in the house. It's very reproduceable. Simply walk towards the front of the house and bam, no signal. Same thing with 4g. Phone drops to 3g way more than any of our HTC devices. Going to call Verizon and start complaining. See if I can get a femcell or something to boost strength or maybe swap to the next HTC device that comes out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JeramyEggs:
I gotta say, my GN2 doesn't hold 4g as well as my rezound. Having said that, they show the same signal strength at about 100 dBm. I live in the country, and have low signal strength. The funny thing is is when I force 4g only mode on the GN2, it gets better speeds than the rezound. It's as if the GN2 has a thresgold lower than the rezound for holding 4g, but the transmission is better on the GN2 when forced. So I can understand what you are saying, but when a phone dies with a little over 2 hours screen time, I don't care about the little bump in signal strength. I will take 7 hours screen time, better processer, better update cycles, and better roms than what I have gotton latey from htc. I love me some htc, and hope the t6 shines, but this phone destroys the rezound or tbolt. Is the one faster, yeah. Is the one fster than the GN3, highly doubt it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eakeller:
I went to an S4 again and have been on it for about a week. I think I need to go back to the Note again.... I mean, I like the S4 and it's an impressive piece of technology, but I don't love it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
Phone isn't any good if it has no signal. I agree the phone is better, it's also much newer. My point being is that the only negative for me has been signal and daily dropped calls.

And my rezound lasted as long as the note 2 does, of course that's with the extended battery.

No case.

Edit: wifi is also wonky on both my note 2 and note 10.1. Get a lot of wifi drops that quickly reconnect but it tends to kill longer downloads.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidbabyxda:
Have you checked with Verizon about this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bkahood:
I have had my Note 2 for about a week now, and coming from Iphone 5 and have always had IOS devices it has been a little bit of learning curve. But I needed a phone that was a big as I could get and the Note 2 was it. My hands are having some issues and thus the reason for the size requirement. I can say the signal strength and data transfer speeds are not as good as the iphone 5 signal almost half of the iPhone 5 in the same locations. But I do like the note 2 and I think could make the switch permanent. Can't wait to get it rooted but for now all stock and still learning.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gnoop:
I upgraded to a Note II from a Thunderbolt. I'm loving it. Picked up a 64gb microSD card and UAG case which arrived today. All is good so far. I think the main thing I miss from my Thunderbolt is that the clock/weather widget allowed you to tap it and get quick and easy alarm access. I do miss that.

I'm honestly not noticing much difference thus far in reception. Admittedly, I haven't had to place many calls but it's been good so far. The big thing for me is that data is always up. My Thunderbolt was one hit last July or so with data drop issues and I've simply lived with it for a year. At least now, I've got data that doesn't drop for no reason. That plus battery life are huge pluses for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] enik_fox:
Yea Samsung has never been one to use the best radios... That being said I have seen some improvement with the newer radios and the reception is so much better than my galaxy nexus but not even in the same league as my DNA. I have not had any signal issues with Samsung phones on gsm networks though oddly enough.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tigertigerwoodsyall:
This phone is absolutely hands down the best, most efficient phone I've ever used.

With custom ROMS (TW or stock) this baby absolutely flies. I didn't stay stock long enough to find out if it flies without ROMS, but I'm sure it does. Amazing amazing battery life, huge screen. You seriously could not pry this phone from my cold dead hands. There is not a phone out there you could pay me to switch to. Best decision I've ever made.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] codybear:
Just got this phone myself, today actually. It was well worth the $100 i spent. Also had a bionic which was alright at first but overtime got incredibly slow and laggy no matter what I did to it. Still reading and trying to catch up on development of this phone. Hope to have my computer back soon...been way too long of a break from being a techy and looking forward to nerding out again haha. Stock rom has been kind to me so far, but look forward to hacking it a little more each and every single day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rippedwarrior69:
I enjoy my note 2. I really wish Samsung would hold off on the note 3 till 2014. Let us have more time with the note 2.

Hey I have SMS backups from the LTEvo and want to get them onto my S3. All of the SMS restore apps I'm finding in the play store keep telling me the backups aren't found because I'm guessing they aren't compatible. Is there either a way to change the file type to make these apps work or is there another app that read this? Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Wrong forum :p hahaha

Have you tried MyBackUp Pro I don't remember if it backs up SMS though?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
Its telling me no backups were found in the specified location when I know 2 are on that folder. So I'm assuming these types of backups that are used in the stock Evo messaging app aren't compatible with MyBackup pro.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
Just use an SMS backup app from the play store. Download the same app on the S3, locate the backup file, profit...I did it for my wife from her Epic 4G to her S3.

I would try myself, but I forgot my phone at home today (conveniently).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
I need to find out what type of odd file its making it maybe it will be easier to find the right app. I've already tried 3 or 4 different ones with the same result.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] midmadn:
If you had someone with an eltevo it could be done easily. Where are you? I would load the backup on mine and convert it to a go SMS or some apk that would allow you to bring them over.

You can get some from the Play Store, Amazon, Netflix and Hulu. Also if you have ROKU, I believe there is an app for that too. Yes those are all paid, but it is a place to start. Also, most networks (at least in the US) have either an app or way to view shows on/from them.

I do hope that you are not asking about torrent sites and how to use them. If you are, then Google is your friend and please do not post such on XDA.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ma$etas:
my phone keeps rebooting .. once i touch the power button to turn on the screen it seems like its stuck some times i get the power menu some times the phone just reboots .... i downloaded an app from the app store to be able to use a different hard key to turn on the screen but that some times doesnt work ... i took the phone apart did a teardown of the phone and saw that the power button seem good (which is extremely small btw) unless its messed up from the inside i compared it to the volume buttons...

I walked in to the sprint store (not corporate) guy tells me its the screen that needs to be replaced cause the soft keys are stuck and not responsive he will charge me $50 to fix it since i dont have insurance and if its the power button i need to find a corporate store which i did but was wondering could it be the screen or is it the power button ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Seems like a power button and an idiot that doesn't know what he is talking about (The "Tech", Not you)... Any moron with a screw driver can replace a screen. Since you did the tear down, it is possible that you did not put the flex cable for the soft keys back or you ripped it off. Since you said that they are unresponsive. If it was ripped off, that will require a full screen replacement.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ma$etas:
for some reason the soft keys were not responsive when the tech had it in his hands but every time the phone has stayed on i have been able to use them without any problem . all work as they supposed to ... menu, home, back, search no problems but the phone still reboots .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
That confirms that it is a power button issue and that he is a moron that was going to try to get money from you. A power button issue is a known flaw that sprint fixes for free. The soft key issues that he claims you were having is also a known issue, but you aren't having that and also, because it requires a full screen replacement, they charge $50 because that stuff is expensive to replace.

Basically, He was going to only replace the power button but charge you $50 and keep it for himself. I suggest you go to a corporate Sprint store to get it either repaired or to get a refurb replacement.
