[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] skifreek:
So im going to seriously be taking a look at the new I7 (Honami) from Sony if it comes to ATT..... ive been a S2, Note 1, and now Note 2 owner... but this phones will really have me contemplating it over a Note 3... anyone else interested in this phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crixley:
See people wanting to go much bigger are a niche and is already a niche device, they don't want to alienate the majority of the notes fanbase just for a small number who want much larger..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wase4711:
and, 6.3 inches will not fit in pants pockets, the way the current one does...in this case, bigger is NOT better..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crixley:
Fully agree.. I'm happy with the current size tbh
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mad383Max:
Was just at AT&T store, the mega fit in my pocket just fine. Don't know how it would have went if I had been able to sit down but think it would be doable.

Accidentally thanked you but that is OK as you probably deserve one somewhere along the line.

To me, they haven't reached the threshold on size for the note series. Doesn't have to be the same size as the Mega but 6 inches would be really good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crixley:
They have to think about what the max for most people is though..

The majority of people feel the note 2 is already huge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lude219:
~6in will be the magical number for me to upgrade. Looks like they've already trimmed the side bezels to a huge amount on the note3, I just wish the top and bottom bezel got shaven a bit more as well. Make the samsung logo smaller (or put it in the back) and shrink down the hardware button or just replace it with all capacitive buttons. That alone would push the screen estate to 6in while retaining the same dimension of a note2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crixley:
They need room for sensors though, ffc, earpiece, etc..

It isnt as simplistic as you think. Have you ever seen one disassembled?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mad383Max:
Acer liquid s2 is looking interesting. ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crixley:
Acer is a terrible brand...

Very bad quality control. Not sure about their phones but everything else they make

That being said, I just took a look at that and it does look killer.

After issues with the brand, I'm very cautious to buy anything acer moving forward.

I may have to take a look at that though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mad383Max:
You following any of the IFA blogs?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crixley:
No but I'm thinking I should lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lude219:
You heard this thing called a laptop? It's amazing how they manage to cram A FULL SIZE DESKTOP into such a tiny case with screen, keyboard and...get this....even a mouse pad!!

No?

How bout a smartphone? I'm sure you've used them. It's this magical device that take a laptop/tablet one step further by SHRINKING them down to a size that's a little bigger than a deck of cards. This device could do essentially replaces your laptop, camera and can even make calls! Amazing, right?!

It's amazing what the power of engineering can do, don't you think? Get this, when you put in a lot of time and effort in perfecting electronic hardware, you'll reach the conclusion that the only limitation is your imagination.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crixley:
Well yes actually , I'm an electrical engineer...

Stop being a sarcastic d**k..

Considering I design parts of what you're talking about.

Moores law can only get us so far at this point in time

Your comparisons don't even make sense. You can make a much more powerful desktop than you can a laptop, giving that option up for portability.

I love how you didn't answer any of what I said and instead try to make me look like an idiot.

You want to look like an idiot? Let's discuss electronics then and circuit theory /production.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mad383Max:
Well not too happy about the screen size but will be gettin one anyway. A lot going on with this phone and you know what was one of the deciding factors for me? The IR blaster, lol. After playing with it on my wife's mega, I missed it on my phone. All the rest is just icing on the cake.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gubbilo144:
Ill take the upgrade,coming from the note 1 to note 2,now using the galaxy mega until note 3 hits the shelves.I was disapointed with screen size,I was hoping for the 5.9 inch screen. I think the only thing that's going to suck is at&t is going to have the locked bootlader on the note 3 and we won't be able to root the thing,like my mega I'm stuck with no root method.I'm actually thinking on paying full price and grabbing the international version of the note 3,because it will a long time before well root for at&t note 3,at least international version it will be unlocked but you sacsacrfice lte with at&t.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mad383Max:
Not so sure I would or even need to root it other than to deblaot it. I was quite happy for several months on the stock rom on the gn2 (only rooted and debloated). With 32 gb model, just disabling the unneeded apps will still leave a lot of room until root is figured out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gubbilo144:
I have to disagree with this,I thought the same thing with the specs.I have the note 1,and 2.I thought I'd pick up the galaxy mega for cheap and see for myself,if I didn't like it return it within 14 days.I'd have to say the screen is not bad at all and its just as fast as my note 2,and the 6.3 screen is great,but any bigger is not necessary.I wish the note 3 was at 6 inches.Ill keep my mega until note 3 hits the shelf.The mega is a great phone in just my opinion, its not for everyone. It only sucks that at&t has it locked and u can't rootit,and well be in the same boat with the note 3 until someone can crack the new locked bootloaders.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] vista1984:
note 2 vs note 3

-note 3 faster(?) lighter, smaller (slightly), and larger storage.

-note 3 has new s pen and multi app function (which note 2 might obtain them from upgrade.)

-note 3 has 1080p screem and 13mp camera.

-note 3 won't get better 3rd party rom support because note 3 use snapdragon 800 in US, while elsewhere use Exynos. (fragmented 3rd party development)

-note 3 bigger screen and more square shape may make it harder to use by one hand. (need to test personally)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crixley:
I played with it and didn't find it nearly as snappy. I hated the display too.

I personally think it sucks

+1:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] the2rrell:
I keep hearing all these comments about the locked boot loaders, does that really STOP anything?

Devs will still generate unlocks, and roms, and kernels Yes? or is this like an end all of development. my tablet was locked and it runs recovery and flashes roms and kernels like normal. it was just an extra step in unlocking the bootloaders. if I am wrong please let me know - I would like to not buy a device that I will not be able to be a power user on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crixley:
There have been phones where the locked bootloader meant next to no development.

Like most moto phones
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wase4711:
well, most of the time, the dev's do figure out how to bypass locked bootloaders and such, but you cant be guaranteed that they will for every device, every time, so there isnt a real answer to that until the device comes out, and devs get a chance to work with it..samsung, htc, and motorola seem to be obsessed with keeping their newest devices locked, so who knows..Sony is a little more develper friendly now, as proved by this...I may switch to the Experia z ultra...

Hopefully it's not a mistake. Would be awesome to be one of the first to receive this bad boy before any one else. I need to wait till February for my upgrade. Which is fine. It'll give enough time for the devs to do there thing in case the bootloader is locked. And for some great Roms to come out.

I don't know if im the only one, but I have the note 1 and it seems that the speakers have been moved and looks to be a different charging type. Anyone else notice?? I hope we get better sound out of the speakers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tmb993:
The charging port is still micro USB, the shape around it just looks different. And yes, the speaker has been moved to the bottom edge. It will be interesting to see how well that works out.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crixley:
I think it will be better for when it is laying down on a table, but might muffle the ringer when in your pocket
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tmb993:
Perhaps, but I've made it a habit to always put my phone in my pocket screen facing in and with the charging port up so when I pull it out I don't have to fumble with which direction its supposed to be facing. Hopefully in that position the sound won't be muffled. Inside a suit jacket pocket or jacket pocket in general I could definitely see that happening though. #vibratemodeFTW

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 running SkyNote 9.3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crixley:
I usually have headphones plugged in so I leave it facing up just by habit (plus feels more natural to me)

I never use vibrate either, I find it to really run the battery (I get a LOT of texts)

Still better than the whole lg "bottons on the back" idea lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tmb993:
+1 to the LG buttons comment lol. It won't take much to turn the screen on no matter which way you have the phone put in your pocket. And the fact they put a windowed flip cover on it drives me insane. Especially because it was announced RIGHT after the GS 4.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 running SkyNote 9.3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crixley:
Imagine how annoying that would be when it is laying flat on a table too..

Agreed they completely ripped off samsung with the design. They did everything they could to make it look like a galaxy phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crixley:
One of the main reasons I'm staying away from the note 3 is the fact that the international and north american versions are so different, which often poses huge issues when it comes to getting updates. That is part of the reason I decided to go with the note 2, the fact that the hardware was the same for the most part

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kublakhan:
What's different about the versions? From what I've read the only option (other than storage) is the processor. However, that's based on having/not having LTE. All the LTE phones have the quad-core vs. the non-LTE with the octo-core.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] velvetmxo:
i don't see anything that's making want purchase like the note 2 did for me. it's official samsung needs some designers. not liking that want to be leather plastic backing. the Z Ultra is my next phone. maybe note 4 will bring some good designers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bkeaver:
For me this is why I am:

2.3ghz processor from 1.6ghz

32 gb internal storage from 16gb

3gb ram from 2gb

13mp camera from 8mb

1080p 381ppi from 720p (don't remember ppi)

My dog has forced me to upgrade to the Note 3. He knocked me down and my Note 2 fell out of my pocket and the screen shattered. I really didn't see anything in the Note 3 that I was interested in, but I'm not paying to fix a phone when I can pay a little more for a new one. Luckily I keep a spare line and it has an upgrade available. I hope the 3 has a more sturdy screen.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wase4711:
well, remember, all a CS rep does is read the info on their screens and report it to you; they dont have any real "insight" into what they are saying to you...and, since Samsung had said the phone wasnt going to be "officially" released until Sept 25th, with carrriers delivering on October 1st, there wasnt much chance you were actually going to get yours when you thought you were...

BTW, I think those are the "official" dates, but not 100% sure..

Latin something, I forgot the rest..

LTA say it's Octa core with A15 and A, while the other one say snapdragon 800 still with the A15 and A7...

I asked negrielectronics about the spec and they said they're good... I don't understand why the n9000 is with snapdragon 800 and not stated as an Octa core even if he got 8 core...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tmb993:
I just read an article on SlashGear that answers that. Apparently because of Europe's new LTE network, there are two variants with the Snapdragon 800. One for the US and one for Europe. And then there is the 3G only version with the Octacore, for the areas without LTE.

Yea i understand that lte is quad core snapdragon 800, no lte is Octa core exynos.

But that one is 8 core snapdragon 800 :P

Also all the frequency are exactly the same. Only thing that change is the Snapdragon / Octacore line while the cpu are exactly the same
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crixley:
Qualcomm never produced an octacore processor yet, let alone an 800 octacore so I don't know where you're getting your Info from
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] IIIPowerIII:
That was from the link I posted.

I asked them and they said they'll confirm spec tomorrow... So it will be snapdragon 800 or Octa. It should end as an Octa anyways, we will see. If it's a snapdragon they'll cancel my preorder for the Octa one.

A while back someone mentioned that the charging port of the Note 3 looks strange and I stated that it was just a standard Micro USB charging port. I found out a couple days ago that in fact it isn't, its a USB 3.0 port, so charging and data transfer should be noticeably faster. It does, however, look very interesting. But if that irritates you then it is backwards compatible with a Micro USB cord.

With this app you can set your phone in silence (by example when the

Hi! Take a look through your phone's settings, find Locksrceen settings, where there should be options for methods of unlocking your screen. Hopefully there is an unlock setting that you will enjoy.

As for screen shots, do a search for apps in the Market/Play Store. There are several screen shot pass that do not require root.
