I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post about this, but I'm signed up to HOT UK DEALS website and I posted this deal about a new contract I took out with O2 (UK ONLY) and it caused quite a big debate to whether it was true but Alot of people then investigated themselves and found out it was true and now have this contract

It's not your normal contract tho, this one is so much better, cheaper, and benefits us as a customer. O2 have brought out a new contract called Refresh tarrif. Which means we can change phone phone when we like and only pay towards the phone cost, if it doesn't make sense please have a look at this post I made on HUKD

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/samsung-galaxy-s4-429-o2-1546082

Overall If you took out this contract for the full 24 months you will pay Alot more, but the beauty about O2 refresh means you can cancel within a week of having the phone and only pay £360 (there was £69.99 upfront fee to this contract when you start) so that totals £429.99. And that's all you pay! They cancel the contract, you have nothing left to pay and you get a S4 effectively cheaper than if you was to buy it somewhere else as it retails about £600

At first you might not understand as well as me then first time I read about this but please read the information and even ask O2 yourself if you wish and they will confirm this themselves

Hello. Can someone help me learn about dpi settings?

I recall seeing a post in Beans thread that explained how to change the dpi globally to desired setting and then noted the app exceptions to be changed in the per app dpi; however, I've gone back 18 pages (and will continue to look) and still haven't found it.

I also titled search for dpi, read the majority of those threads and haven't found it there either.

I'd love to better understand what it does for me, such as applications opening in a tablet mode instead? I do realize it makes stuff smaller and sharper?

Thnx!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Changing the DPI of apps is what ParanoidAndroid is famous for so if you want to see it in action the easiest way to see oer app DPI settings would be to watch some PA videos about it.

As for the Beans global app DPI changes I have no earthly clue, I run CleanRom and Vanilla Rootbox mostly, but if you want to mess around with it look up the Xposed Framework and the plugin for it that allows per app DPI changes. I would install that and play around with it if it was my first time using per app DPI settings.

I wish I could be more specific about Beans but seeing as how I dont run it I have no clue about it.... Maybe someone who does will be able to help a bit more.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] grimloktt:
Thank you. I'm familiar and have Xposed Framework installed along with App Settings and can change per app dpi. I'm just trying to better educate myself on what apps are good for "phablet" or tablet mode and how to get them there. Also, wondering about global changes. I have the below instructions but am just trying to read up what I can expect to see, etc...

"navigate to "system" and long press "build.prop", and choose to "open with - text editor". There should be 2 lines, 1 near the top, and 1 near the bottom that say something along the line of ro.sf.lcd_density=320, change that number to 240. Do that for both lines."
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
As far as I understood build prop changes it for all your apps and can cause some to not work properly with the Play store hence why they came out with the work around with PA and Xposed.

A lot of apps have tablet mode that gets activated when you change the dpi, the best way is just to test really. I havent seen a definitive list of which apps work and which dont so....

Hello,

Recently i flew to Germany and i bought data package from my cellular company and when i got to Germany and turned on the data roaming, the network didn't work. Every time i tried to use the mobile network it told me that i need to turn on the data roaming although it was already on.

I have htc sensation with ics 4.0.3 (software number is 3.33.401.6 if this is relevant).

Someone know how to fix that or what is this problem??

Thank you for your help.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joefrog1996:
So I'm still debating the Note 2 or the S4. The size of the Note is great because I read a lot and I like the..... well I just like the size. The S pen is somthing that I think I would use a lot. But I've heard that it gets boring after a month. I understand that the hardware is better in absolutely every respect on the S4. But I still don't know. Are you happy with your Note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chickoid:
Honestly my advice would be go to store and check them both out side by side so you can actually see and feel the differences. I personally like the size and the s pen on the Note 2 and wouldn't consider an upgrade until possibly the Note 3. I've had mine for a few months and have yet to get "bored"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tuxonhtc:
Seriously, do you think you won't get "bored" with S4 or One after 2-3 months max? The initial "wow" factor wears off for almost all phones. But for me, it's been actually the opposite, personally. This is the only phone which managed to grow on me.

Rest of the phones, after the "honeymoon period" gets boring too, trust me. But with Note II, you're left with a good screen with more screen real estate and excellent battery life. So even if it gets boring, you'd be left with an excellent, stable device that you can trust as using your daily driver. And we've still had users who switched back to Note 2 after going to HTC One et al for the same, which in itself speaks volume IMO :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gnex0422:
My thoughts exactly....love the screen size idk if I could go back. Im def waiting for the note 3 to drop until I consider an upgrade.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tmellen:
I find after a month or more of use, that I'm using the pen more and more. I take pics and annotate them all the time now, for personal notes, or to send to others. I use it to take all my job-related notes (I work in IT) and always have them with me, 24/7. Definitely not bored!

My Nexus 7 is suffering from separation anxiety, however. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fozzir:
I use my SPen to take notes in meetings almost everyday. I can't see a reason to ever get another phone without Spen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ironsoulreaver:
I've only had mine for a couple of days but I already know that this phone is going to stick with me for the long haul.

I come from the old school days of the stylus with my first being the original palm Pilot 1000 and the last resistive touchscreen being an Sch-i730

I loved that phone to death even though the call quality and battery life was horrid. When the touchscreen went out on it I died a little inside. Capacitive touch screens took away the enjoyment of a stylus and even third party ones just didn't do it for me. With the note II it brought back the same feeling I had with the i730 that died on me 5 years ago.

Don't underestimate the S-Pen's capabilities, the Wacom technology combined with Samsung's extensive software makes it a very powerful device. The phone is huge and you don't really grasp the size until you see a working one with the screen on. That can swing either way on the pro's and cons list depending on the users personal requirements. for me though sometimes it feels too excessive (phone calls) but mostly I am thankful for it. Overall though I am glad it is so big.

I highly suggest you get the note II first and take it for a test drive and try to use the S-Pen as much as you can. If you don't like it then go exchange it for the S4. The S-Pen is a unique feature only found on the note and best try it now then never at all.

I have not been on these forums in a while (years) because I took an apple cruise. Was there user reset on inactive users or something?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgyberg:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidbabyxda:
The size still bothers me at times. I have smaller hands and will cramp a little if I hold my phone for longer periods of time.

Other than that... no regrets. Watching Dish on it is awesome! Also... other Animes and videos. I don't use the spen too much so I can't comment on that. Overall best android phone that I've had. I am still stock and unrooted and super bloated but it is snappy and it works exactly as I want it to. I've had it for 2 months now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blockay:
one of the best phones out their and my personal favorite.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] leyvatron:
Yes. happy. Hopefully the Note 3 is thinner with less bezel and a bigger screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joefrog1996:
I was just talking about the S pen getting boring. But I consider this post very helpful in my final decision. In June I will be upgrading to the note 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shrike1978:
The S-Pen's utility for me is not in writing notes or making drawings. It's in the fine control it offers (pinpoint clicking, etc) and the gestures you can do with it...screenshots, image clipping, and more. And if you buy GMD Spen Control, you can make as many custom gestures as you want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrisjz:
My N7 has a thick layer of dust on it since I got this phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tuxonhtc:
Oh yeah fair enough then.

+1 on this too by the way. I can't explain how much it helps me from those annoying "misclicks" - and even expanding some items with the hover like feature. I use it mostly for typing and mostly browsing. Note taking/drawings is a major plus, but I use it mainly for browsing and typing rather.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tfly212:
I played with my boss's S4 the other day...it's a nice phone and looks a bit higher end than the note 2, but the only real difference you will notice day to day is the size. If you can manage the larger size, the additional screen space (plus the s-pen) make it a pretty easy choice. If you want a smaller device, the S4 is a great phone. Felt really solid, fast, etc. I for one love the bigger screen and could probably never go smaller again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] idelgado782:
I've the note 2 since March and I came from the GS3. I've had the note 10.1 since the Summer, & that's What made me go for the note 2. qm So happy I did! And I'm definitely looking forward to hearing what the Specks of the note 3 will be. I wasn't even tempted, When the HTC one or the S4 came out because of the S pen! I can't live without it! I too use it at meetings to take notes and to jot things down quickly! It's great not having to carry pen and paper!

I myself migrated from an iPhone 5 straight to a Note 2 as iOS was getting super stale for me. After a few moments of having the note 2 on stock OTA I knew I had to root and install, Now I jumped straight to a Root + CM10.1 nightly and I love my phone to death.

The size I got used to rapidly and I even find myself using the S-Pen more then I figured I would. All in all i love it to death and think its one of my favorite phones I've ever had.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Love the size, even though I have tiny hands. I even use an otterbox defender and have only grown to love this device more even with the extra size. Gives the device a more solid feel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 705:
Battery life wins hands down compared to s4. Sis has the s4. Screen I enjoy the larger screen and s-pen doesnt get "boring" unless you actually use it to sign documents n such. despite the higher screen ppi on the s4 and being smaller and lighter. I still choose my note 2 over an s4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] endo689:
Completely agree. Buddy of mine just got the s4 and told me didn't want the Note 2 because of the size. In all reality you get used to it like any other phone. I too have been rocking my Note 2 in the Defender series Otterbox case and really like the additional size for holding it.

I actually love my note 2. i love the spen and the size of the phone itself. i am trying to unlock bootloader so i can have a rom that is debloated. all those unnecessary apps bog the phone down. i actually use my phone alot at work, since im a group leader for a custodian staff i can take notes on performances of job duties. instead of using a note pad and pen. but damn verizon and locking bootloaders. i pay for the thing i should be able to do what ever i feel like. :)

Follow up now that I've had my Note 2 a few days. Rooted on Beans 16 as a fully functioning starter ROM. Really love the size and weight of the phone. Fits in my front pocket no problem. Quick response, so far best Android device I've ever seen. Beats the S3 for sure.

I noticed that it takes a long time wake from sleeping. Almost 2 seconds. Found a fix tat said disable ripple and popups, but it still takes what seems like a long time. Anyone else have this?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
That is wakelag, a known issue related to deep sleep & wakelock. I believe MeanBean is the only rom that has no wakelag because it never enters deep sleep. However, your battery life may take a slight hit. There is a flashable "zero wakelag" zip floating in the Jelly'Beans' thread that adds this function to Beans rom, but I am not sure if it has been updated for build 16.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] audiophizile:
It is the best phone I've laid hands on. Battery life from my gnex or rezound to this is 3-4x better, incredibly faster all around. The size you do get used to pretty quickly and is awesome for most everything... Downside, I have average hands for a 6'1" male and it is impossible to reach the very top left of the screen with one hand. You will have to adjust your grip occasionally to make reaching certain parts of the screen manageable. I do find myself nose tapping a lot more on this than my gnex haha. I still wouldn't trade the great viewing size, insane battery life and speed for those small gripes. Aokp and matrix kernel gets 6-7 hours of screen on lte web surfing, YouTube, gaming, etc. At way faster speeds than my previous phones. Extremely happy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] monkeyass408:
Had my note 2 since march. Took it to the t mobile store a few days ago to compare the screens for the note 2 and s4. Honestly, i couldnt tell the difference. That was the only thing lingering in the back of my mind even after i got the note 2. Now that thats shattered... note 2 owns!. I wouldnt get the s4. Even if the s4 had a slight bigger batt than s3 that 1080p screen is a total battery hog. My family friend said it had overheating issues. Not sure if thats true because i never played with long enough. He came from the i phone 5 to s4.

BATTERY IS AWESOME. Check out the screens i took.

I've had the Note 2 since it came out back in November, and overall I do like using it. Battery life is great, and the large display is great for watching videos.

However I really haven't gotten used to the size, I usually use my phones one handed (i.e. texting while walking), but on this phone it's very difficult to do that easily without having to shift my hand, especially if I need to pull down the notification bar.

I'm going to test out the S4 to see how that looks in person. I had a DNA before the Note 2, and personally I think a 5" phone is perfect for me.
