[Galaxy S 4 General] hung2900:
Amoled color quality is varied among different units

Note 2 made in Vietnam is still pretty blueish in some units, some are better but still. Unfortunately, I have a very bluish one.

Note 2 made in Korea seems much whiter.

Hope that not the same thing happens with S4
[Galaxy S 4 General] xyz007:
Are you sure about that? I wouldn't know, since I don't have s3, but:

I honestly never heard of that. I went to check where mine was made, but it only says "Made by Samsung". It's the same on the box and under the battery, which is weird. Its a model for EU. Anyway Note 2 is not the topic. I am very happy with mine. But I will make a photo some other day to compare white and screen modes between N2 and LG 4x, as I found no similar comparisons on internet yet...

Edit: So, naturally I couldn't go to sleep without finding out where my N2 was made in and although I still didn't find direct imprint on the phone or the box the battery and manuals suggest they were made or printed in Vietnam. Not really important, since except for one sd card fail, everything works perfectly for 6 months now. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] hung2900:
The thing is, I hope that not the same thing happens with S4.

I live in Vietnam. where all units are made in Vietnam only (in Europe there are 2 types: made in Vietnam and Made in Korea)

Checked in store: 5 units were blueish with different levels and different brightness, 2 imported devices, one white and one a little bit pink tint.
[Galaxy S 4 General] xyz007:
That's really terrible if it's true. I edited the post, saying that i suspect mine being made in Vietnam. But the difference in white in comparison to s3 is real. So I must either be lucky or there is different batch heading for EU with different QA/QC. I really cannot imagine seeing such differences and how people would tolerate it since it was a 700eur phone. The one In store appeared normal, same as mine- that is to say- best screen I've ever seen... I even compared it to bunch of other phones. But there was only one note2 on display so couldn't compare and didn't want to open mine right there. :)

So. I won't go off topic any more, but if this helps someone to decide on something why not... Comparisons of white, all on max brightness:

Amoled set to standard screen mode Note2 vs. LCD 22" LG panel:

Amoled Note2 vs. LCD GTab vs. LCD just something in roaming :)

Amoled Note2 vs. LCD GTab
[Galaxy S 4 General] aliveon2legs:
Hmm... I don't think I'm signing my name to thte new contract until the Sprint rep puts the GS4 in my hand and I get to see the screen for myself.
[Galaxy S 4 General] stretched:
Nice. That's gunna take up some space, but it sure will be worth it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] GGXtreme:
Adobe RGB and Natural Mode are probably similar—they're both normal wide-gamut modes, representing the colors you'd see with a wide gamut LCD monitor. The Cinema/Movie mode is the most accurate mode because it represents sRGB mode, which is what most content is designed for.

The international Galaxy S3 does have screen tuning options, just with different names. The Snapdragon variants do not have these settings.

The Note 2's white point seemed fine to me. The S3's screen had a noticeable green push, but its color temperature wasn't as cold as a lot of LCD screens. If the 'Natural' mode is identical to the LG IPS, that would indicate the LG display is using a wide-gamut panel which is good for use with color-managed applications (ie. photo editing) but not accurate for most content (websites, movies, etc.). Cinema/Movie mode would be more accurate (similar to an sRGB emulation mode on the LG panel).

Hi Guys,

I have been reading this forum now for a couple of days and I am very impressed with the amount of knowledge sharing going on here!

I am considering purchasing an XDA from the UK over ebay but I have a few questions,

If these much of a difference, performance wise between the 32 and 64MB models?

If a phone is locked to O2 in the UK can it be used on O2 in Ireland?

To unlock the phone I would need to install the special edition ROM published here, right? Is this suitable for the 32MB model? Is it hard to do?

Thanks for any help,

Adrian.

:D
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Peter Poelman:
Yes: When I last looked, O2 locked to all of their providers in Europe.

This would be one way, yes. You could also get a serial cable and our program 'The Manipulator', or install the 3.17.03 ROM from Jeff's kitchen and make sure you select XDAunlock. After unlocking, you can switch to any ROM you like...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Adrian:
Great :)

Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] trh1341:
Please done get mad at me for asking these

I am looking to buy a galaxy note.

Thing is, I noticed the galaxy note 2 came out October of last year? Would it be smarter to wait for the Note 3? I sure will root my phone..so will I be able to get a galaxy note 3 Rom to work on the note 2? The processor seems like it will be a good one for at least a few years..so no need to worry about hardware getting out of date?

Recap of my questions

1.sould I wait to get a note 3?

2. Do you think the hardware will go out of date within the year?

3. Do you think I can get a galaxy note 3 rom to work on the note 2?

4. Is it worth waiting for the note 3? I'm stuck on the Lumia 920 till I get a phone so...:P

Thanks for your help!:)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] andrawer:
I've had the GN2 since release date and wouldn't hesitate to buy it again today. It runs quick and will not be outdated within the year IMHO.

The newly announced G4 is sweet but has no SPEN (many don't even use it...I do) and a .5" smaller screen then the GN2

No one really knows about the GN3 so it's hard to answer those questions.

In my view, I would not wait for the GN3 since so little is known and assumptions it will be even bigger:cyclops:

I mean look at your Samsung choices.

Galaxy S3 - now older but still sweet,

Galaxy S4 - new, sweeter, larger screen,

Note 2 phablet - Sweetest of them all in my opinion.

Note 3 - unknown and assume many many many months away

In answer to question 1, I brought a note 2 Saturday... Don't regret it one bit! Life's too short to be waiting around for the next best thing, go buy one and enjoy it while you can! If a galaxy note 2 ticks all the boxes for what you want/need from a phone, then I say go for it.. I did!

Also,on a side note the specs packed into this phone will be good for a while yet, so I wouldn't worry about that either!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] taranis17:
1. How bad do you want a Note? Hardware will always refresh on a 12-18 month cycle, if not sooner.

2. See #1. Hardware is outdated within months of it being released. It's the way of the industry.

3. Depends on the Dev (or if you are one yourself). I wouldn't count on it though. Third party roms are never a sure thing, especially cross-platform.

4. Depends on your need. I recently upgrade from the i-727 to the Note 2. No regrets whatsoever.

http://www.north-winds.org/unix/su-bin-3.1.1-fixed-arm-signed.zip

Flash this binary using TWRP from your sdcard (not the removable sdcard). I didn't have any issues with TWRP finding this binary from the internal sdcard.

Superuser should then update the binary and you'll be sorted.

Many of My Friends are facing Problem With Battery as Rom shows wrong information about remaining Battery %... As a result your phone goes off and when you start your Phone again it starts to show different % battery that mean that your battery is not Calibrate.. I am making this guide so that every one on this world may enjoy their phone for long time...

Warning Do at your own RISK...! Dont do it again and again

Steps you need to Do ​

-1 First thing you need to do is let your battery goes to 0%.. then again start your phone(Don't plug in charger) and repeat 1st step until your phone denies to turn on back..

-2 Then Charge your phone in Switched off mode to 100%

-3 Unplug your charger

-4 On phone

-5 Your phone is going to show % of battery lesser than 100%

-6 Charge your phone again in on mode to 100%

-7 Unplug your charger

-8 Restart your phone and repeat Steps from 4 to 8 again and again until on every restart u battery % shows about 97%to100%

-9Next step is to calibrate your battery Download free app from plat Store that is Battery Calibration

-10 Calibrate your Battery with the help of that app and make sure that your Battery % is 100

-11 After Calibration Use ur Battery Upto 0%

-12 Then Charge it again and Your battery will be Calibrated...:)

Enjoy..

Hit Thanks ​
[General Topics] bugadani:
DON'T ever do this! Discharging a Li-ion battery completely WILL decrease your battery life.

Next, the battery calibration app is nothing more but a hoax. It only deletes a file containing the battery stats which is ONLY used in the battery statistics screen in settings.

So please, DON'T!
[General Topics] vinny3:
It's true you get the same result from the battery calibrate app by wiping battery stats in recovery. Draining your battery does decrease battery life of li-ion batteries, same goes for your laptop. The theory to cycle your battery is a myth and actually wrecks your battery.
[General Topics] spunker88:
The 0% reported by the operating system is actually a bit higher than the voltage at which li-ion batteries will become damaged. Any modern phone should not allow you to discharge the battery to the point where it could cause damage.

Also there was an employee from Google IIRC that said wiping battery stats was useless because its only a file that keeps track of what apps used the battery and it wiped automatically when charged to 100%.
[General Topics] DraXonic:
Well when there is fall in battery from 100% to zero in 10 min then u have to calibrate

I am not saying to calibtate it daily... as i said you have to go to zero once to complete one cycle..:)
[General Topics] DraXonic:
True.. i m getting what u want to say about labor force.. :)
[General Topics] bugadani:
I admit, when that happens, the battery circuit is probably in a dumb state and it _may_ be useful then. But doing this regularly is incredibly dangerous for the battery. Yes, some phones bias the battery reading but the post suggests to actually force it empty while turning it back on and on and on and that really kills it.

Still, using the app is just pure nonsense.
[General Topics] DraXonic:
No post suggest that drain battery once to zero then charge it again and again upto actual 100%
[General Topics] bugadani:
How about the 1st point of the first post? "Drain it to 0 then turn it on and on again until it doesnt turn on anymore"?

You could brick an hp touchpad by doing this.
[General Topics] DraXonic:
Because 0% shown by the phone is.not actually 0% to gain that actual 0% we have to do that
[General Topics] spunker88:
You do realize why they make the reported 0% above the actual 0%. If you drain a lithium ion battery to actual 0% you'll permanently damage it. Also calibration is only useful if you want the OS to read the battery percentage more correctly. Lithium ion batteries themselves work perfectly fine with partial charge cycles.
[General Topics] DraXonic:
Actually your phone will not turn on before damage point so don't worry about that ...:)
[General Topics] bugadani:
That doesn't make any sense - you're stating in that post that turning on the phone damages the battery. :eek:

I will state this again: if you force your phone on and on again until it doesn't react, you may and on the long run probably will damage your battery. If your battery is not removable, this can also easily brick your device as seen with HP Touchpads.

If you feel that you must do something, simply drain the battery _once_ then charge it. This is the only thing that a sane electric engineer will ever advise.
[General Topics] DraXonic:
Well that worked on my phone... i said that do at your own risk.... actually i am saying the same thing that drain your battery.. but if battery is not calibrate sometimes phone goes off even on 36% and if u charge at that point to hundread then that method will not work...:)
