[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] thebeastglasser:
Three weeks with this thing, and it just seems to get easier and easier to hold. The first and second day was a little painful, especially when I tried one handed use like I did with my Nexus 4, and then I realized that it wasn't possible. With that in mind, it is perfectly fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] alias3800:
Yeah I'm actually the same height and from time to time I feel the same way. It's only when I'm using it one handed, which my hand can manage easily and reach across the screen.. but only by holding the phone precariously, which becomes annoying sometimes.especially considering how big my damn hands are. Everything is so damn pleasing about the phone though that it's hard to really dwell on that. It's only occasionally though, I feel you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] C0dy:
Honestly, I find my Galaxy Nexus a little too small, and I'm really considering the Note 2 due to it's size. The screen is just right to me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RonnieRuff:
I had your phone I thought it was just right. Now this size seems just right.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aria807:
I had a Nexus S and it was ok sized. But I've been using that for 1-2 years b4 switching to a GS3 for about 6 months. GS3 was a good size upgrade, but I soon got used to it. So switching from a GS3 -> Note2, it wasn't that bad. I don't exactly have huge hands, but it may also be the fact that I am not using an Otterbox Defender case anymore. That case made my phone gigantic and I downsized to an Urban Armor Gear. Perfect size for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Evofusion:
I too have owned the phone for 1 month and I absolutely love it. I upgraded from the g2x and it was like night and day. The size was comical at first but now it just feels right. It also helps that videos and games are just plain cool on this big screen. Paired with the gameklip and it transforms into a well sized portable emulator.

So many good things to say about it. Definitely pleased with my purchase.

Im 30yrs old 4' 8" tall and the Note 2 is perfect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwitmer:
Perfect size!

I just wish when entering text into a text input box in a desktop agent mode web browser (Dolphin), that the soft keyboard wouldn't take up the entire screen. It's a software problem not a physical Note2 size problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RonnieRuff:
Sounds like a Dolphin problem. How about with other browsers?

The phone is definitely much easier to handle/navigate without a case but its way too slippery so I always use a case. I have a back case cover w/kickstand which adds width. It's fairly thin but enough to make the phone slight harder to handle/navigate.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] powder02:
I love the size of and use it to cover my friends iphones so they can't find it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sixpoint1:
I'm only 5' 8" and I don't find it too big to use with one hand but I do notice its size when I put it in my pocket. But I've only had the phone for a few days so I imagine I'll get used to it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dandn0ten:
note 2 is big? or your hands are just too small :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Amd4life:
He'll I'm waiting for 6.3" :eek:

I'd prefer a tad longer vs wide form factor be though, so I could one hand it a tad better.

My biggest complaint is the home button, I hate it. I'd prefer a backlit hidden button like the other two
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] boodies:
Now that I have paranoid android on mine, and got the software keys working, I can finally stick mostly to one hand usage.

I prefer my nexus 4. To me that's the perfect size. Just went back to using my Note 2, because I'll be traveling and need the battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] g1-and-only:
Just keep it

Well I'm coming from the amaze and g2x and I thought the note would be a little silly, that was until I held it for 6seconds and now I couldn't go back to anything smaller, on the flip side I couldn't go to anything bigger. I'm 6'0 and have perfect hands for my note 2. This phablet spoils everything but I couldn't have any other phone on the market. I tried the nexus 4 but I have a 32gb and now 64 memory card so it was a no go. I have no plans on upgrades for 2 years, if not longer. Just root It and the note becomes better than any tablet or phone on the market today and this year, but this is just my thoughts.

You know you're small when you have to add .5" to your height
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] C0dy:
Well that I have my Note 2, I love the size, it's just really hard to use one-handed. But I can deal with that, this phone is incredible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Same here. I finally accepted the fact that I can't one-hand it like all of my previous phones. But it is by far the best phone I have ever owned.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] iArtisan:
Yeah I kind of already admitted to being small.

The .5 inches tho was just for humor. Lighten up man.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JesseMT4G:
I personally find it just the right side. I can still one hand it (zing!) and haven't had that much of an issue at all.... Well besides the phone keep waking up in airplane mode....which is taking a toll on battery life.

Besides that love it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] md1008:
I can adapt to pretty much any size. I can comfortably use my exhibit II, gs3 and N2. I am like that with everything I guess size really doesn't matter but I might add it does help....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sly5789:
Wow I guess for those who are too young to remember the motorola DynaTac , talk about big. This is by far the best smartphone out there especially for its size.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] janjannsen99:
I remember that phone! My mom had one of those.

If I remember correctly they were crazy expensive and they charged you by the minute exorbitant rate s like 55 cents a minute. Or more

Dang that brought back memories! Then my mom got the one that was still huge but the part you talked into flipped down. From the side it looked like a trapezoid and the display numbers were green or red I cant remember. I think you could store like 9 numbers in your 'contacts'. And no there was no apps in the play store for you to download:eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] who_are_you:
I have been using my tmobile note 2 for 2 months now and at first it feels really big coming from a galaxy nexus however now it feels "normal" :laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jonjon68:
6'2" with big hands. Yes, it's too big. For LeBron and Shaq its probably perfect. For even bigger than average guys it's too big for one handed actions many times. With that said it's a fair trade off for the nice screen size for virtual keyboards, youtube videos, games etc... which is why the people on this board are saying it isn't too big. It's not even debatable that it's too big. It's just worth it to have that screen real estate.

I'm grateful that not everyone likes the size.

I like it my gfs s3 seems so small now lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] muqali:
I found the S3 was probably a bit more comfortable, even with the thicker battery I installed. I plan on getting an S4 as soon as T-Mobile launches them, I think that will probably be the sweet spot in size. The Note 2 at home is fine, it's just when I'm in public and am more apt to need 1 handed operation that it's just a hair too big. Not that I can't use 1 hand, it's just not comfortable and I'm not as accurate clicking links etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bipoler:
Funny

5.5 and 4.99 isn't a big enough impact to logically justify carrying two devices, it seems we have grown accustom to lusting the latest and greatest. .........^_^

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] aznmode:
So I finally got used to size then I took it to the gym for the first time. I was so afraid it would fall and drop since it didn't fit well into my back pocket. Specially when I'm laying on a bench. Sometimes I felt like I would eventually sit on it. I couldn't put it the front pockets either as they got in the way when I needed to put weights on my lap. Finally the size really got in the way. I ended up putting it back in my locker so I can concentrate better on my work out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Get bluetooth and set it under the bench. That's what I do
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] muqali:
It's oh so "derogatory name", but a fanny pack is what I use.

I don't plan on keeping the Note 2 once I get the S4. I meant that using the Note 2 at home as opposed to using it in the street. I'll be using the S4 in both locations once I get it. The wife is still deciding if she wants to sell the S3 and take the Note 2 or we sell the Note 2.

I use mine to log my exercises, so every set or two I need to type into it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] micxploed:
If you find the note 2 too big, get an s4, s3 or if you have smerf hands an s3 mini
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlczl:
That's what I do as well with my Jaybird BlueBuds X.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ncc1701k:
I find that the size appropriateness really depend on the usage. As a in-car/bike GPS, it's perfect if not a little small. Watch an NBA game at the mall bench while the wife is shopping is also perfect. Texting one handed while eating does feel a little big.

What would be really nice is making it thinner and lighter, hopefully Samsung can do that a la S3->S4 style.

Sort of related question (sorry if this will derail the thread) :how often do you use the stylus?I ended up not using it very much at all and was wondering how much thickness/weight it can shed if the wasn't designed with a big slot for the stylus. Of course the stylus is a major differentiation for the Note series, so maybe they can expand their "Galaxy Mega" line, which currently is only mid tier?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dhies:
Perfect size for me.

Of course, I say this as a 6'6" tall male with rather large hands. I can pretty much operate it one handed. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] funktron:
I'm a lucky one. 5-8, but piano player's hands. I could palm a regulation size basketball at age 14. The Note 2 is perfect for me. I operate it one-handed almost exclusively.

Served up by the TMo Note 2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
I agree, it depends on what you are doing. Everyone loves to watch YouTube & movie trailers on my GN2. Games are much better on it, and I love browsing the web at 240 dpi. Texting is a little awkward for me as well. I make more typing mistakes on my GN2 because my hand isn't quite large enough to one-hand it.

I think the weight is appropriate for its size. I don't want it to feel like a cheap plastic toy, like my old Captivate. I wouldn't mind if the GN3 is thinner so long as it does not sacrifice battery life.

I have read many complaints about the S4 being too sensitive to touches, especially near the edges because the bezel is so small. If Samsung squeezes a larger screen into a narrower body (like the S4), I hope they refine the touch sensitivity.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlczl:
I think the size is just right. I do have to use both hands to text but I find it much faster than typing out a text with one hand on a smaller phone like the One. Anything smaller than a One just doesn't seem large enough to take advantage of the rich multimedia experience of a smartphone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JesseMT4G:
I am 5-10 and can palm a regulation sized bb as well. Maybe that is why the size don't bother me at all with this device. I used to think it would be to big for me, but since adjusting there is no question I could even get by with the supposed size of the Note 3 at 5.99".

The size has spoiled me to the point I can't go smaller now.

I even at times rock this with a hyperion 6200 or 9300 zerolemon which makes the phone even bigger.

Don't bother me one ioda.

Fancy pants Note ||:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jaekidd1012:
With all due respect to the OP and anyone else put off by the size of the Galaxy Note II, I think that this device is geared towards the kind of person with a "bigger is better" mentality regarding display sizes. That being said, if a person thinks that the Note II is too large then they're clearly not apart of the targeted market for this thing. Never once have I felt that this phone was too large in the 3+ months I've owned it so far. The S Pen, Multi Window and the relatively massive size (at the time of it's initial release) of the Note II were what made me want this phone and what continue to keep me hooked on this phone :)

I'm only 4'10 and the N2 is only slightly big to me. Tires hands but...its a trade of willing to be taken for the gorgeous size. plus it fits in my work skirt pocket or purse so no complains on portability. I also love its size because everyone at work makes a big deal out of it and they take my phone and compare it to theirs...and yeah...noone can resist the note!!

I had the HD2, and thought that was big.

Then I got the Galaxy S2 last year and thought that was big.

Then I acquired both AT&T and International Galaxy Notes--THOSE WERE BIG. Everyone else's phones were/are sooooo small, including S2 and 3 users. I won't even begin with fruitPhone users..... My Mom's Inspire 4G is tiny, even at 4.3 in.

Then, along came this Note II.....

Perfect size from the get-go. I can't wait for the even larger Note III.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] [bman123]:
I'm getting my note 2 tomorrow in the mail. I'm coming from a Motorola Droid Razr and the note 2 feels perfect. Sure it is a big phone but web browsing on it is so much nicer then using my Razr that's for sure
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] richdaley:
I have had mine for about 2 weeks and I can't imagine going back to something smaller. It doesn't even seem big anymore. I have been finding that I do a lot more web browsing on it because it rivals bigger tablets and even laptops for browsing without a bunch of pinching to zoom. I actually think I could go a little bigger.

I also like it for typing because I have big fingers and I am not very coordinated so I have always found the on screen keyboard on smaller phones difficult to use. I have never used my phones with one hand very often so that is not an issue for me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesomefireduck:
I'm not sure if it is possible but I have an idea of a widget:

It's a widget that contains another widget that will auto after a specific condition (perhaps with llama/tasker?)

Examples:

hide music widget of choice if there's no music playing or headset plugged in.

Hide (school) timetable if you're not at that location.

Show GPS/traffic widget if not at home/school/work.

You might think of another great use yourself.

This is just an idea, and since I'm no app developer myself, (at least not yet) I hope one of the great android developers that are on these fora will take an interest in this project.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PenguinxEnjoi:
But why hide the widget? That space where the widget that hid the other widget is still unusable because the widget can become transparent, but it can not remove itself from the home screen and then put itself back, since adding widgets is a system level command. And if it could do what I just said it can't, what if you put apps/shortcuts/widgets in its place, where would they go? I might be over thinking this whole idea a little but that's just my two cents. I do have a similar idea now that I read this, though. Use Tasker to restore backed up Nova/Holo/Adw/Apex/Etc, settings and home screen layouts based on what you said in your first post. That is probably going to take way longer to do, but it get the same effect and could probably save battery that way too. I mean, if I make a Tasker profile set up so that whenever I connect to my schools wifi, that it restores a previous backed home screen and settings layout. My phone always dies at school, so my home screen would become blank, with no dock or status bar, and just have gestures set up so that I can still get to my apps (swipe up for drawer, down for notifications, two fingers up for phone app, and two fingers down for messaging). With nothing on my home screen, I save battery because the Launcher does not have to load any thing. Android itself might be a limitation for what we're saying here, but maybe Key Lime Pie could bring us closer to that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesomefireduck:
Thanks for the reply!

Thank you for the reply, PenguinxEnjoi

I can see now that my idea can be a bit confusing.

I just had the idea to hide the widget when I don't need it so it doesn't clog up my lock/home screen.

If it means turning it invisible I'd like that just as much as removing it. I just don't want to see it.

If this is possible it would totally be an option. Especially since I'm using widgetlocker and nova launcher.

This will probably be done using intents (if it's supported) but I've only begun using tasker (after llama) so I'm still not sure how they work.

Have you found the way to auto hide widgets for example with Tasker?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *skew:
extension!?

I have been trying to find a way to recreate a menu pop down resembling the app drawer menu on my desktop and yes...there are many hurdles to be made through an auto hide feature. Why there cant be an app writin that works along with zooper pro or uccw (or done internaly themselves) that can acknowlege a widget name and link it to a static bitmap/icon within another widget as in a"press on" action is beyond me. I know that is probably the last thing those two companies wanna do but it would really make it fun for the average joe just trying to create something fresh and different for their own pride and joy. I havent had much luck getting any reaponse on this. Lol obviously due to a lack reason. And no im not talking about the chocolate covered carmel candy. Bit if any of you developers out there want to take a stab at it. Looks like there is a code writtin in a somewhat similar context that i believe could work. In the end. Its us vs. Them. Hope to see something more happen with this.

And of course..i am mot allowed to copy and paste outside links yet. Thanks XDA. but if you type in."auto hide widget" in google it should be the second link you see. Hope someone makes this a reality. Will be watching for developments.:silly:
