Perfect Size for Me

I found the size perfect from day 1 (which was beginning of Jan.). My old EVO LTE, I mean my wife's phone now, does seem tiny.

Still fits in the pocket of my khakis, but not jeans. Sit fine on dashboard for NAV use. Great for snuggling in bed watching a video with the wife.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] BrianBaker:
Well although the 1st couple days on a "normal" sized phone were difficult I am getting used to 4.7 again.. The real pain in the ass was getting used to a non Amoled display again.. Amoled is just so vibrant that it made normal look muddy and washed out...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] erk469:
Well with me being 6'6"..I have very large hands and this is the perfect phone for me. I will stick with the phablet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Melijah:
Nope.

My wife owns an iphone 4s and is not tech savvy in any way so she constantly asks me to check it out. It feels like a child's toy when I pick it up. If I ever have to go back, I will cry buckets.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] steezc:
It definitely feels weird holding anything smaller than the note 2 haha. I think if its closes to the Note2 size, i'll consider.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] d12unk13astard:
Definetly going note 3 around the same time I got note 2 (march) by that time there will already be a good source of roms out and the price will have been lowered slightly from its first release. I have a lg g2x and epic touch 4g still and they are like childs toys compared to the note 2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon5:
Small phone what's that? Never again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sparkfly88:
I came from an evo to this monster.

I'm in love.. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
The s4 feels like toy haha
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shadowpaw:
Yeah don't think I can ever go back to a smaller phone again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kaisutam:
I am a fan of the size, I will never go back to smaller
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
Same here. I find the size of the note 2 normal now. All other phones except for gs3 and 4 just feel like toys. Oh and the htc one feels ok since it has that cool metal feel.

Sent from my Amazing Galaxy Note 2!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] poor_red_neck:
The htc one does feel nice. My ONLY complaint from the note 2 is the build quality. The creaks and cheap plastic feel. I dont like slick phones. But considering I got a HELL of a powerhouse phone for the price im not complaining too much. I hope they atleast go for a matte slightly rubberized finish on the note 3 back. The rounded edge on the back does make it seem thinner but its a little difficult to hold.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon5:
Get a otter box and your phone will be encased in armor. LOL.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
To be honest though those OtterBox cases they're okay they do have a purpose however for me though I don't care for them. simply because I bought two cases for the note 2 and mind you both of them cost about $10 which is half of what the OtterBox cost and to top it off at performs just as good if not better. And the best part of it is that my phone is not a brick like looking phone like the iPhone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bmoreboy02:
You may think they perform just as good or better but i guarantee you theres no $10 case out there that can handle a drop like otterbox
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon5:
Put in a otterbox and that feeling will go away. Mine has and will stay in the case forever. Unless I have to return it, do a battery change, or to change my sd card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
I dropped mine from shoulder and head height no damage. I can throw it if you want? You're just like an iPhone user, if it's not expensive it can't possibly work better than a 30 or more dollar case?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MarkHerm:
Never! But TBH I wouldn't want the Note III to increase in size that much. I think the housing of the Note II has an ideal size.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
He wasn't aying a TPU case doesn't provide protection. He just said the level protection from a $10 TPU case is not going to be as good as that provided by the Otterbox Defender.

I used only a TPU case as well, but I don't believe I get the same of protection for it as a Defender. Physics just says it doesn't since the Defender is designed to absorb and distribute forces around the phone. The TPU only does so limited, and then transfers it to the phone.

Plus, don't forget all falls are the same. I'm not questioning that your phone fell from the those heights. But it you didn't say what it feel it on. Big difference between carpet and concrete. Never mind that sometimes we get a lucky fall from very high hights and no damage. Other times, just unlucky and very short falls onto soft surfaces and screen spider cracks.

Personally, I've had my phone drop onto concrete floors about a half dozen times from about five feet. Also had it hit asphalt from a about three feet. I only a have TPU case, Cruzerlite clear. I also have Just Like Glass screen protector which is suppose to increase it's shatter resistence up to 35% (their numbers). I haven't gotten any damage, yet, either. I'm still not under the impression I'm getting the same protection as the defender. Heck, I even think I've had some luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
I Did say, it fell on concrete. Not to mention I don't have a tpu case. I have a case with a TPU inner cover and polycarbonate outter cover. And another one is a silicone polycarbonate case. I have dropped my phone 5 times all on accident where I work which is all Concrete. All from shoulder to head height. Another time I purposely threw it in the air and it just scuffed the case is all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
Well, I think I may have just assumed it was a TPU case. I look at the previous page where you did the iPhone user and height drop, and I didn't see a mention of the kind of case, just the cost.

I also didn't see a comment about it falling on the concrete. I'm not disputing if you said it or not because it couldn't have been earlier than the previous page, and I'm just not doing to remember who says what, and exactly what said. I remember more general themes or really different details (still not who said it).

Although, my comments about lucky and unlucky drops still holds true.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon5:
I know a guy who has a $10 case. It looks, feels cheap, and does not fit to the phone right.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
This is mine. Dropped it like 4 times already, well my kid did lol. Best case I ever had and looks and feels really cool too.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] d12unk13astard:
Co-sign!

Love this case as it provides excellent fall protection, slim design and provides a kickstand. Cant beat the price either :P Tho im finding it hard to use now that I have the ZL. 9300 battery + tpu case.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sweets55:
HTC was to small. SG4 seems good but will still probably get Note 3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Damn that thing must last you a couple days lol. I have this too though so juice hasn't been an issue yet. :D

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Melijah:
I gotta be on the bandwagon for otterbox to an extent. I've been using a 7 dollar case I got on eBay and it works fine. Only problem is I like the screen protector on the otter box.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon5:
Thats what you get with a 7 dollar case half the protection.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
Take a look at these

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B5HF8HC/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 10$

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A9NLD6S/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 15$

Those cases provide very good protection at a fair price sir. Like i said before i have dropped mine phone on Cement, Concrete, Asphalt, & Tile. All of which only scuffed my case which was the 10$ case, the other one by Amzer is mire rubbery so it just gets dirty is all.

And To be honest with you the Otterbox 's provide protection no doubt they feel like s*it when sliding your finger across the screen it feels to cheap and not slippery like a normal phone. its harder to slide your finger across i guess is what i'm saying with that in fact any screen protector.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
I love watching these! You do NOT need screen protection on this glass lol! In my experience all screen protectors did for me is make my perfectly good looking glass look like crap.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] patrao_n:
Actually in my line of work yes you do. I spiderwebbed my screen so I no longer cared. But the chemicals I work with destroy the screen. Not to mwntion the silica suspension fluids my hands come in to contact with hourly. Even after washing my hands my screen was covered in very tiny scratches. I now use a screen protector. So just because you may not need one doesnt mean noone needs one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
That is true however I still and many others hate the feel of screen protectors
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Well I thought they were pretty resistant anyway. I guess not against all elements but I haven't tried anything to ruin it yet. Guess time will tell.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xman_here:
Well, that's hard to believe as MINI models of flagships have reached ~4.5" It's time for slim and big phones.:p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] loveshinesthru:
I had an orig evo and then got the s3, I thought the s3 was big and really liked it, now when I play with my moms s3 its soo dinky! I have an extended battery on mine and I do like the thickness, it helps me hold onto it better. I will probably get the note 3 when it drops and give my daughter my note 2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] srod562:
Never again will I go to a "normal" sized device again. The Note 2's size feels just right and I can't downgrade from this. My Droid X 4.3 inch screen feels so tiny now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon5:
The key to keeping your screen looking new. If using a case with no other protection. Take it out of the case once in a while and wipe off any dust that from time to time will get under it. I do mine at least once every two weeks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Toxmax:
Nope... Smaller screens just feel like toys to me now... These big devices really take the win :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cor4twenty:
Im actually considering trading mine on craigslist for the s4. I've had several issues with size lately.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] celticking:
I'll be going back to a regular size screen after this phone no doubt

Really I think how people talk on note ll or pheblet

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SPreston2001:
It's easy just hold it up to your ear and speak. Simple lol. The phone only looks big when placed next to other phones.

Ok lol

1 suggestion from my side when you wear a cloth the other person can tell how are you looks ?

& when you talk on pheblet that other person can tell how dumb you are looking LOL

Heck nope. I luv mi Note2.. Best phone ever..:eek:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iwuz:
I was looking for some papers today and found a (3? 4?) year old blackberry device. noted that it was half the size of my samsung - even though it is twice as thick. Postage-stamp display by comparison.

I usually go from one extreme to the other, so after a couple years of "phablet creep" (BB curve, BB storm, droid, iphone, galaxy s2, s3, note...) I will probably opt for something smaller next time.

At work I love the ability to take quick notes on it and to send annotated snapshots, but the size is a bit of a challenge. And I know sooner or later it is going to slip out of my hand at the worst possible moment (I'm guessing over a concrete sidewalk, or standing on a metal lattice platform..)

and my next phone will be small. probably very small. and then I'll get frustrated by the tiny screen, and.... you see where this goes :rolleyes:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DevilStrider:
Man go to your phones forum. **** out of here simp.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tuxonhtc:
God, what a bloody retarded comment. Dude, I don't use my phone to show off people or make them happy. I use them for FUNCTIONALITY it offers. I get that with more real estate rather than browsing on tiny phones that gives me a bloody cluster headache while reading/browsing - and obviously being able to actually use the phone without having to micromanage to save battery to make it till the end of the day. And I've been an HTC owner for ages FYI.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yatindroid:
Ok then try iPad or tab and have a10" long thumb with great functionality :D

Where is functionality gone when u put that thing in ur pocket

They made smartphone more functions in low size & what pheblet do same functions with big size do you not think some retro ?

This is all marketing strategy smartphone's spec are highest this time so what a company do for new product without that they legs in innovation

IDEA lets increase screen size !!!great!!! U do some new invention congratulations !!!

In my opinion 4.5+/- 0.5 are optimized for fictional & handling

If ur hungry for " more real estate" enjoy your note ll & try more big might 55" plasma help you :p

From HTC One S
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tuxonhtc:
More stupidity - as I expected. As much a hard time I'm having deciphering your barely comprehensible drivel - i'll try.

10'' tablet isn't pocketable - and I can't use it for extended periods with two hands. With Note II I can. It strikes the perfect balance for most of us. I have never had an issue with portability - the only drawback being one handed use being a bit hard - which I don't care anyways as I don't use phone one handed much. You preferring smaller phones is just that - your PREFERENCE. That doesn't give you the rights to post your drivel around here. Are you really that stupid or do you just love trolling?

And I can't for the life of me understand your second para. Perhaps you could try to take some time to make it a bit less garbled?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] patrao_n:
First try talking correctly. it's phablet not whatever the hell pheblet is. So if you are going to mock a phone, because you are obviously pissed at yourself for your choice, then at least call it by what it is. Second how is that bootloader lock going for you? Third try talking correctly. Your auto correct really needs help. I am suprised anyone could understand the crap coming from your keyboard. Is there not enough in your forums for you? Phone not good enough? Jealous of the battery length we get? How about the spen? Troll is a troll.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yatindroid:
Ur note is pocketable ? :what: how big is ur pocket ?

Just one line pheblet are marketing strategy not innovative idea

From HTC One S
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tuxonhtc:
Normal sized pocket. And yes, it is pocketable - have you even seen one dude? Check it's dimensions - we all carry it around in our pockets - and unless it's some skinny jeans, it fits nicely.

Dude what the flip are you talking about? I get more screen real estate and excellent battery life - which makes browsing much more comfortable for me. What on earth has that got to do with marketing at all? *FACE MEETS PALM*
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] d12unk13astard:
He just mad he dont own a note 2, why else would he be trolling the forum smh. HTC is a **** company now and has gone awol/iphone.

HTC guys are known for not only defending their phones but for baking others. Just ignore him.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
I don't get why this person is commenting on a thread for a device he doesn't own nor has interests in is beyond me. No offensive Yatin, but he clearly missed the point of the phone. Samsung, and a couple other companies, saw that people wanted a larger screen size. It had nothing to do with being innovative. Samsung also though there could be demand for using a stylus since people have commented on their days with PDAs, people using them on their other Android devices.

As for how it looks on holding next to your face, yes that this time, it looks a bit odd. But the trend of mobiles seems to be increasing, people will get to use it and it's becomes less and less odd looking. Plus, probably most use an ear piece, thus no need to hold the phone.

I still enjoy and like the size of the Note 2. I don't know what the limit of the size would be for me before I think it is too big. My guess is probably around 7"

My biggest complaint on the phone is just the bulk of the preinstall software. I don't care about 90% of it. I also don't like the phone can't be used like a regular flash drive; but I believe that's a more an affect from Android 4 and profiles in how it setups storage. I also don't like Samsung drives, at least in my experience, aren't well made and thus I haven't been able to reliable set the phone up for the PC with them and use ADB.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon5:
My note2 fits in my rear pockets and my shirt pocket. The size is just right for my fingers and eyes. Plus as s truck driver I use hands free. If caught with out one is a $2750 fine to me and $11000 fine to my company. Do you think my company will keep me employed if thry get a fine that high? I don't think so.

Who said I never used big screen

I used Dell phablet Samsung note 2 of my friends but personally i don't like them so I said

I always saw my friends always put them in hands never in pocket & we tried them in pockets not feel comfort

Last I say sorry I don't wanna hurt any1 feeling for pheblet

From HTC One S
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
No ever said you didn't use one. What has been implied and said is that you don't own one nor have any interest in one. There is a different experience you get from a maybe an upto an hours use to using it everyday because it's your device. And you only support what we say when you tell us you didn't like the device the few times you messed around with a phablet.

There are plenty of people who have gotten the Note 2, and it just didn't end up being something he/she liked. No one here claims it's the phone for everyone. Yet, we're not going into other threads and talking disparagingly about other's people's devices. Come end of the day, what purpose does it serve?

And I still hold, that you missed the point of the device.

Thus, I'm still bewilder why you would comment on here in the first place? Personally, I really hope it's not so you feel better about your choice in device or some kind of device envy because of what your friends can do or something. Be happy with your device and don't worry about us people with Napoleon phone complexes.

I don't think anyone has reported it yet. Seriously, the guy, according to info below his Avator lives in India, so it's not like he even would have access to the Sprint variant, so he's really going out of his way to comment here. Not that it would be any more appropriate in the international model.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] aakash_scsa_hellyeah:
Hello,

I recently bought Sony XPERIA J which accidently slipped into water tank which with no doubts remove the warrant of My phone & have caused several issues with its working. I kept the phone switched OFF for 5 days and successfully removed moisture from its motherboard. When I turned it ON everything is fine except malfunctioning of WiFi & several Touch Screen issues.

1. The problem with Touch is that whenever I press the POWER KEY to unlock phone I have to wait for atleast 5-10 sec for TOUCH to start responding. Is this a software issue or is it a hardware and also is there any way to fix it.?

2. Another problem is the small LED light (notification indicator), it is constantly glowing BLUE and does not show any other color for any notification and even never turns OFF. Can it be fixed?

3. Problen with WiFi is that it just keeps on trying to turn itself ON with no success, which is consuming the Battery Power a lot. How can I turn OFF the WiFi permanently?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] bornlivedie:
Dude, those are clearly hardware issues. There's no way we can help you with that... take it to a repair store or try your luck with the official warranty.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] aakash_scsa_hellyeah:
Thanks for Your reply.

I actually took it to the sevice centre but the said it can only be fixed by replacing the motherboard which costs Rs10000/- :D, so I just thought of asking for help over here.

Alright, I can bare with these TOUCH & LED issue, but I really need to disable WiFi, so is there any way to do it like removing WiFi module or something like that?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] UTK18:
you can try and say to the service centre officials that it started happening after u tried to update but it failed...ofcourse you have to find another service centre

just prove this is happening due to software reason even though it isnt

Title says it all. I have a current backup of my device. The device is now broken. Can I restore that backup to a different nook color or will taht cause problems? Thanks
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
The only issue with doing that is your wifi MAC address will be the same as your old device. That is not a problem unless you have both devices connected to your router at the same time. But since your old device is broken, I guess that won't happen.

Edit: That answer was assuming you had a backup of something other than stock that you were considering restoring. If you were going to restore a stock backup, I'm not sure what would happen.

Probably also need to check and make sure that the hardware versions are the same (i.e. 1.3 vs. 1.4). Not sure what kind of issues you might see if you flash across hardware versions.
