Re: Off-topic other device and upgrading phone discussion

If the Note 3 really is going to be that big of an upgrade I might just have to get one. I love my Note 2 but if the Note 3 has that you're of screen and is RBG, I might go with one. It would just be nice to not have to worry about breaking my screen because I set my phone down on the table to hard or drop it a few inches.

My biggest fear is a noticeable scratch or broken screen with my Note 2. I have insurance but still. If that fear could be taken away with a Note 3 then I would go for it. The only thing I'm worried about with the Note 3 is the display quality. If they go pentile then I'll be keeping my Note 2 until then Note 4.

Re: Off-topic other device and upgrading phone discussion

I heard July and November. I am waiting for the nexus. I had 3 of them. The development is always superior. Check out the # of ROMs for the N4 or N7. In addition CM has announced they will not support the S4. Most of the ROMs for our device are based on CM. Not a phone I want if that is the case.

Wait for Sailfish OS by Jolla. They will release a phone on May 2013 with Android app support, full multitasking. Everything works including hotspot, not need to purchase carrier hotspot plan.

I got my Note 2 from Tmobile but basic thing Android can't get right, like usb tethering on Mac OS X or accessing the sd card/phone storage while USB tethered to the phone. My Nokia n900 is 3.5 years old and still does it without a glitch.

When trying to read pdfs files on the phone/phone's sd card, Android has to make a local copy of the file on the computer hard drive. What a waste. Android sucks ;)

"Where you think she at when she ain't with you?"...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Onemoa:
I would go for the Note 2. The S4 is ok but it doesn't have the features the Note 2 has and the Note 2 has a better display.

The size of the screen really does make a difference as well. The S4 isn't much bigger then the S3 the Note 2 has imho the perfict size screen and you get the S-Pen its one of the most underrated things about the Note 2. You can do allot of awesome things with it.

The Note 3 should be a great phone as long as they don't use a pentile display like they did with the S3 and S4..

But why wait until the end of the year when you can get you're hands on the best device of this year. Once you get the Note 2 you will wonder why you waited so long.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JesseMT4G:
I am pretty sure the s4 has the better screen over our Note 2, but not a huge difference to the eye, just more so paper.

I was going to wait for the s4 or HTC One, but ended up getting the N2, coming from an s3.

Absolutely love the Note 2, from screen real estate to awesome battery life and the spen!

Hopefully some of the s4 stuff will be Ported over to our phones. No reason to go with the s4 really if so.

Probably rock this till a note4 comes out, lol!

Fancy pants Note ||:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Onemoa:
I agree.

The S4 is not much of an upgrade. The only thing it's got going for it is it's 1080p screen. So people that hold there phone a few inches from there face will notice difference but it's pentile. So the screen on the S4 isn't that great in the first place. It's mainly minor software updates that come with 4.2.2 in the first place...

The Note 2 will remain to be Samsungs best phone until the Note 3. We just gotta hope they don't use a pentile display on the Note 3 like they did on the S3 and S4. I would rather see a nice Super LCD/IPS display on the next Note if they where going to use a pentile.

Or the same screen as the Note 2 in the Note 3. I just think it's crazy that people are buying the S4 when you can get an even better device with more features, The Note 2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dandn0ten:
here is the theory that i think it might apply to ss series like s3 <=> note2 with bigger screen+ spen and so s4 <=> note3 + bigger screen + spen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Onemoa:
Yeah that's why it's best to just get a Note 2 or wait for the Note 3.

Like the S3 was cool but the Note 2 blew it out of the water. Better software, camera, everything.

That's how it will prolly be with the Note 3, it will blow the S4 away. I mean if you really think about it the only major cool thing about the S4 is it's octa core cpu. Other then that the Note 2 is still a better phone. I'm not trying to bash the S4 because really without the S4 there wouldn't be any reason to make the Note 3 so much better. In all fairness, the S4 is a great phone. I just wouldn't buy one because the Note 2 is better.

I mean you know. The octa core cpu is great in the S4 and the fact that's saving 70% battery life. That's awesome. But you can't get that version in the US so that sucks for people that want the S4 and will have to settle with a quad.

I just really can't wait to see what they do with the Note 3. The Note 2 is a great phone but all this first month hype is over with the Note 2. So its the S4's time to take the S4 fanboy spotlight.

It's funny how iphone vs Android is but now it seems Android wants to fight Android. I was looking in the S4 thread and why all the hate on people that bought the HTC One, it's a great phone and it even has a better screen then the S4.

I guess Note 2 users are more chill, lol.

That's spot on man.

HTC and Samsung have taken very different design philosophies recently, both hardware-wise and software-wise. HTC, as ridiculous as it sounds, is more of a copier of Apple's design than Samsung. Case in point - One has a completely metallic design, no removable bat, pop-pin sim slot, pretty minimalistic software UI (too simple IMO), totally form over function. Samsung on the other hand stayed true to its utilitarian design philosophy with removable bat and cover, plastic case, wireless charging pins, tons of custom software features (however gimmicky they may be), totally function over form.

That basically set the stage for an internal android flame war. People who preferred the One for its design are like apple fanboys, while people who preferred S4 for its function are like the "classic" android fanboys. They'll bash each all day about the greatness of their phone and the shortcoming of the other, it's something we are all to familiar with.

Don't get me wrong, I've owned a iphone, S3, Note2, and HTC One X and played with the new One for a couple of days, they are all great phones, but definitely very different.

For me, all these choices just get me completely torn. I wish I can just be a happy isheep and be content with whatever is fed me, but I can't. I want a HTC One chassis with a samsung style removable cover so I can do my touchstone wireless charging mods, a 1080p RGB stripe super AMOLED (death to the under-saturated IPS panels), CM10.1 with HTC's camera software, Note 2's monster battery somehow crammed into a 7mm frame, a octo-core chipset that's compatible with US basebands, and a still somewhat affordable price... one can dream right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hurrpancakes:
I'm thinking of picking up the S4. I feel like the Note 2 is just a little too big to use in a single hand for me. It's close, but I think 5" will be perfect for me. Plus, 1080p and the Snapdragon 600 don't hurt either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] boodies:
After using my Note 2 for a while now, (since launch date on t-mo in oct) I wouldn't mind going 5 inches. But I dont think they're going to make a Note 3 or Note 4 at 5 inches so im kinda screwed. As long as the Note series doesn't get any bigger than it is now, dimension wise im getting another note series.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ncc1701k:
If note is just "a little big", then I'm afraid S4 will be "a little small", as it's basically the exact same physical size as the S3 despite the screen being 0.3'' bigger.

That was my impression with S4 when I played with it though. Note 2 is quite large, but S4 was a significant step down. 1080p surely is nice, I couldn't feel any improvement in terms of UI speed from the snapdrogon (mostly cuz of TW's bloat, as I'm running CM10.1 on the note 2). Go to the store and give it try though, as everybody has different standards, you may feel differently.

I would say keep the phone for meow, and wait for release of newer gen. If anything, by that point you can pick up a Note2 for a steal. I really like my Note2, first phone in a long while I haven't wanted to get rid of. I really liked my S3 when I had it, but apparently not enough to keep it, haha. From the short time I toyed with an S4 it felt good and has a nice screen. GG3 supposed to be more durable than the rest.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] crazy talk:
The HTC T6 looks exciting to me. Maybe because I'm fed up with my Note II having screen burn in already. LCD would be a nice change.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Onemoa:
How did you get screen burn in? You have a dock and keep you're screen on overnight, ect?

I'm just curious because I have had my Note 2 since the beginning of January and have at least 4 to 6 hours of on screen time a day. Sometimes more if I do another recharge early in the night.

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 PM ----------

Same here. There is no reason to downgrade to the S4 if you have the Note 2. The Note 2 has a better screen and battery life then the US version of the S4 and about the same if not better battery life the the international S4.

The only thing that the international S4 has better then the Note 2 it's camera. It beats the US S4's camera by quite a bit. But the only thing the US S4 has is more mega pixels, the actual quality vs the Note 2 is about the same.

Imho these facts make the US S4 a letdown. The best thing to do if you own the Note 2 is wait for the Note 3 but if it's not a very big upgrade then just wait for the next line up of 2014 phone's.

The reason I say this is technology is moving very, very fast right now and if you do get the Note 3 you will have to get the Note 4 as that will be one of the best phones to be released. I say this due to the fact the Note 3 will be allot like the Note 2 just with upgraded specs of course. While the Note 4 will be much different and have a new design that will be much better when it comes to durability and if you look at the road map the Note 4 will have a cpu that is just crazy powerful while also being great on the battery life. Big.Little is just starting to show it's potential and the same goes with un-breakable displays.

So get the Note 3 if you want a upgrade. It will not be as big as you might think, but I'm sure Samsung will come out with good marketing for it and I'm sure it will do very well. Hell I might even get one, we will just have to see. I just know the Note 4 will be something much more groundbreaking as far as the design and durability due to Samsung working on there new 3.0 design.

I even think it might be worth it to hold off on the Note 3 when it's first released. Because other devices will be released around that time as well. So if you're not a Hard core Samsung Note 2 fan like me, you can look into other options as there should be allot.

Just like all of you I like new things too. I just feel the way technology is moving so fast as I said before and if you don't feel the need to upgrade to every new device released. Maybe it will be worth it to wait and see about the Note 3. Maybe they will release it with there new design 3.0 and if they do I might just have to pick one up. If not maybe waiting for the Note 4 will be a better idea. But really, we'll just have to wait and see.

That's just my opinion but the facts are indeed facts.

Let's hope we get a update for our Note 2 soon as well. We are sure as hell due for 4.2.2!

Figured I'd just add my thoughts in here instead of making a new thread.

Lets just say..

Oh boy, how do I miss the Note 2. I previously had a Note 2 before, then decided to 'downgrade' to a Nexus 4. I enjoyed the sharp screen and all the builds that had about nill glitches with the exception of the MIUI ROM that came out recently. Then the thing finally fell flat on its face on the kitchen floor. Happened to be the weekend I got paid, decided to go back to the Note 2.

Back with the Note 2 now, although the screen isn't as sharp.. I still enjoy it greatly. The phone is much faster than the Nexus 4 at loading games and apps. And my my I've missed the camera! Such quick shots, I love it. I should have never downgraded to the Nexus 4.

Although one thing I've got to say about the N4 is, it felt good in the hands. Solid weight, not too light nor heavy, and great size. But the Note 2 trumps all. Oh, I can't post this without mentioning the battery life of the Note 2 compared to the Nexus 4.

Note 2's battery life is just amazing. All in all, I'm glad to be back with the Note 2 family. Already rooted and flashed JellyBeer. Done and done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Techngro:
I bought a N4 for my friend a few months ago, and it's true, the build quality was great and so was the screen. I'm still on the original Note, contemplating whether to upgrade to the Note II (it's pretty cheap right now on Swappa), or wait for the Note III. I wonder if it's worth it to get the Note II.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] janjannsen99:
Yea note 3 looks like major disappointment for me. When I upgrade in 9ct9ber I'll be looking for something else unless there's some really amazing features we don't know about yet. I'm really sad about the note 3 I was expecting more than a marginal upgrade in my opinion. The 3gb of ram is just going to be used by touchwiz anyways. Snapdragon 800 definitely wasn't what I wanted. I really wanted that octa core just because I want it.

Do you think the octacore will use hspa? If so I'll buy that version. Don't really care too much about lte because it's actually slower at work and at home than hsupa is. And that's where I'm primarily at anyways.

Oh well maybe I'll just stick with the note 2 it definitely been the best phone I've ever had and there still isn't much out there that compares. Future proof in my eyes till at least late 2014. Especially if they bring us 4.3.....
