Yeah I've read up on it's specs. I'm not that into all that gimmicky crap. I'm mostly concerned with the battery life.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalanik:
Battery life on Note II with Android 4.1.1 is excellent... so if you decide to get N2, don't upgrade to 4.1.2, becaue it kills the battery.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
I doubt the s iv will have better battery life. I just don't think Samsung can fit a battery big enough into the smaller format.

Still may as well wait a few days and see what the spec's are. It could surprise.

Haven't read to much about the SG4 but the note has an amazing battery. It last 24 or more hours med to heavy use. It has a lot of gemicky stuff its self. I like the facial recognition to unlock the screen. And the fact that it checks the camera to see if you are looking at the screen and stops it from timing out the screen.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dannar:
Wondering the same thing myself, actually.

My Verizon contract is done in May. But I have a deal where I can go to AT&T for free. That being said, at $88 a month on vzw, does it really make sense to wait for the new round of galaxy devices? The money I'd save leaving Verizon would pay for the phone in full by that time. I've got nothing to use on AT&T in the meantime.

It makes economic sense to leave vzw as soon as I can. That being said, the HTC one is coming out in a few weeks, right at the end of my billing cycle. My first and only smartphone has been this thunderbolt. I'm accustomed to HTC and sense. But the lack of swappable battery and SD card slot is something I'd consider a drawback. I can also trade in this tbolt for $100 with their trade in incentive program.

But of all the phones out right now, the Note 2 is the one I want. It just seems to be the perfect phone. I'm just worried about getting it so late in the game. I bet AT&T still charges full price for it too, probably $300 on contract, right? If I got a note, I'd probably want to sell it and put the proceeds toward the note 3, when it gets here...if it isn't 6 inches like the rumors say.

I care about rooting and flashing ROMs. I'd have smashed my bolt by now without those things. HTC seems to be locking down their stuff a lot these days, and if not them, then the US carriers. Is sammy any better?

Seems like the cheapest thing to do would be to ditch vzw asap, and score a HTC One and cash in on $100 for my old tbolt. And while I generally like HTC (wife has a HOX), I can't help shaking the feeling that I should get a note instead.

Duely blundered from my thunderdolt.

So will the Note 2, in a future update.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xartic12:
How much screen time? I get about 6 hours screentime over 30-40 hours

The Note2 has very great battery life, not to mention the gorgeous display. I run alliance rom and have adjusted my DPI so everything is much smaller, allowing me to fit more content on the screen.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChodTheWacko:
Personally, I'd wait to see what the S4 is before making any sort of decision.

The Note 3 will surely be a jacked up S4, just like the Note 2 was a jacked up S3.

Gut feeling though - smaller phone, higher resolution screen/faster cpu.

There's no way it has better battery life than the Note 2.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hagba:
The battery on my 4.1.2 is even better than I had with 4.1.1,besides you get much better and improved web browser, a much higher screen brightness making it awesome for outside visibility etc...I would certainly recommend the Note II.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakethesnakeuk:
That's not true, 4.1.2 is on par if not better than 4.1.1 in terms of battery life
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jujuburi:
Totally wrong! 4.1.1 had way better battery backup than 4.1.2. It's a known fact now.

@OP: Too late? No. But should you get a Note 2 now? No. Because S4 is almost released and then Note 3 will be coming.

You know this is not an used camera or car or watch, this is a damn cellphone, which literally is outdated within a month of release.

So imo either wait for S4, if you don't like, Note 3. Imo, Note series will be placed a little higher than S series, Samsung does that on purpose.

got mine two days ago, upgraded from the note 1 glad i did battery is awesome .

sometimes you need to ask yourself what do i need and what will be sufficient?

the note 2 is quad core and fast as hell will it slow down in two years? i doubt it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GR36:
Yes the s4 is iut soon. But you wont see an s4 note until much later on. And who needs 8cores when most apps dont use 4. And a 5.9 screen is just rediculous
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordanprudent:
Agreed, an amazing phone over all. Spen works fantastic, screen is far superior to almost all handsets (mainly due to the size, has a lot of wow factor) but yeah upgrading to 4.1.2 has smashed my battery life by half. Not impressed. Still wouldn't swap though, even with its cheap battery life on 4.1.2 it still lasts longer than anything else
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riki1kenobi:
Eh? I must have missed that memo because I average around 10 % more battery life on both the note 2' I have since upgrading to 4.1.2 :p

The note 3 wont be out until at least October though. IF the op wants a note 2 and can get a good deal on one I would go for it. Considering its been available for what, 6 months now, finding a decent deal on one is not that easy!

That said, get the lte version. My first note 2 was a gsm version which I got on a 2 year contract (got a cracking deal on full monty with t mobile works out at just over £11 per month with a free phone). Then I bought an lte note 2 outright, cost me £50 more than the gsm version (think I paid just under £500 at the time on Amazon). I just swapped the sims over and gave the gsm to my gf. Will wait for 3 to roll out lte later in the year and swap my 3 sim in it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pswin09:
If you want better phone wait for s4 or note3... Also there will be alot of better phone will come...:D
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ritz89:
just get it

no doubt the s4 will be amazing but if you want a note you might as well get this one plus the battery will be the same I miss guessing . :good:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xartic12:
The note hasn't been out for a half year, so expect to wait another 6 months for a note 3. As for the gs4, you can be like every isheep and wait and wait for the latest and greatest for bragging rights.. If you need a phone then get the gnote 2 and be happy with what you have.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anonymous572:
you are wrong guys, according to my feelings 4.1.2 is much better for battery life than 4.1.1

Besides I will not buy Galaxy Note III. For now I'm waiting for new Galaxy Note IV at september 2014 :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohJee:
My advice to you is wait for the 14th to see how the S4 is. If you see it's that good that it's worth another 3months for the official release, then wait for it. Otherwise, get note II now.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakure:
S4 will also have better battery with the new oled screen with less florescent pixels.(saves 25% more battery) .. also with octa core (saves 40% more battery)....... it might also have a bigger battery. ..may be a 2800 or 3000mah.....

It will be sufficient to negate the full hd screen and smart scroll battery consumption

If I were you. .I would wait for march 14 to decide..

S4 would be out by April 1st in international market. ..in the US... carriers will delay its launch

Also to consider is if it comes with snapdragon 600 in the US for lte compatibility or octa core. ... if it is the snapdragon 600 (which is not much great than the exynos 4)....I would not be much interested. ..

Features like eye scroll and other software would come the note's way in future updates. ..it is already there in the leaked 4.2.1 update for the s3.

scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xartic12:
How can you go from a 2100mah to 2800 without increasing the the volume of the phone? The octo core may be more efficient in most ways, such as texting and web browsing. When it comes to playing movies or games, the quad core A15s that would kick in, will consume more battery than the current gen chips.

I owned both the S3 and htc one X and those were suppose to be very efficient on stand by with the lte modem built on the SoC but to anyone's surprise they were awful in terms of standby time. Don't count on new technology always being linear in terms of efficiency to performance.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MERK77:
I was thinking about waiting for then new S4 but after seeing the note and playing with it for an hour I was hooked on the size of the screen and how easy it was to read everything . I would do the note II .
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlada:
You have to wait man! Note 2 is theee bestt phone i have ever had!! But im sure the s4 is better in some ways! I will definitly get s4 as soon as it will be availave so i dont recomment buying note 2! I recommend getting a nexus 4 if available!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TellTheTruth:
It depends. If you want larger screen, get the Note 2 because unless if Samsung goes outside of it's release cycle, the Note 3 won't be out in another 6 or 7 months.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vzscrd:
its not too late if you ask me... and also it depends on the person. If you are a gadget fanatic and buys every new released devices then note 2 is too late for you hehe. However if you are the type which makes devices last for 2 years use then definitely note 2 is still the best among the rest. Functionality wise its a win win situation. So where do you belong?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ungraph:
Whoa this thread blew up. Thank you all for your opinions, much appreciated!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Problem is it will still be hard to find out exactly straight after the launch about which one has a better battery life. You'll have to wait at least a month after the release of the S4 after reviews and updates released that could improve or fix any battery issues to be able to properly compare with the Note 2. If you notice the difference in battery life is quite substantial after the 4.1.2 was released on the note 2, of course I do hope for the S4 it would be for the better.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxram:
Looks like the s4 is a monstrous phone like the note 2.seems like Samsung got a bit from the s series and since fron the note series and mashed them both.

If you're not looking for the spen, the hover technology of will be a big plus.

Oh snap! I don't have a witty tapatalk signature!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkyevolved:
If the Note 3 has that giant 6.3" screen, I doubt I'll buy it. It's getting bigger and bigger. I liked how the Note 2's screen was slimmer, because that made it easier to hold with one hand, because the Note 1's screen was a little too wide for my single handed holding method. 6.3"... ufff... I'll probably go Samsung S4 or HTC One, but that's a much smaller screen. We'll see. But for now, the Note 2 still has a lot of power and battery for its size! So I'm not going to trade any time soon :).

Having issues with your Intel device and Viber 2.3.5?

Posted by Viber Support 1 on 08 March 2013 03:21 PM

We are aware a lot of Intel based Android users are having issues with

Viber 2.3.5.

Intel processor does not allow us to run our code there that is why we

created a special version for Intel users until we are able to provide a full

functional version.

Before installing please make sure to allow installing applications from

unknown sources by going to:

'Settings'--->'Applications'--->Check 'Unknown sources'--->tap 'Ok'.

take the phone apart and clean around the power seemed to do the trick hard wise - you could always replace the button on the motherboard but that's not the problem is the residue stuck in between the plastic button and frame flathead screwdriver (jewelers/precision size) scrapes it right off so far like brand new.

This video shows how to take the phone apart, invest in the kit if you don't have one there like $8 or less http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UprBWr3kACg

Hey everyone,

So I had a TWRP with stock 4.04 on my HTC One X ATT

I downloaded one of the 4.1.1 Stock ROMS posted today and tried to flash it in recovery. It said success and I rebooted.

This one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2181399

It rebooted into a black screen and it's been stuck there since. Occasionally theres a white bar that flashes at the top.

If I hold down power + volume down, the capacitative buttons just flash several times and that's it.

Adb doesn't see my phone.

However, when I plug it in my PC recognizes it. It doesn't show it in my computer, but hardware manager shows "HTC One X"

I'm concerned it's permanently bricked.

Any advice?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Ghostrider:
you need to unzip your Rom, in there is in file called boot.img

put the boot.img in the same Folder as adb and fastboot

then put the phone in bootloader and put in the usb

open cmd on your pc and go to the ADB Fastboot Folder

now put in this:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

if it's done reboot your phone.

the procedure is almost the same as flashing the recovery.

Go to the Development forum and use the AIO Toolkit to flash back the old bootloader, then you'll be able to return to CM7.
