Haha, indeed. I don't have to prove anything to the guy.

I wouldn't go as far as calling him a retard. I will say that he should find something better to argue about. Maybe something more important.

Nothing personal...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
I have had the Note 2 since the day it was released & my son recently bought an S4 as he wanted the smaller size screen (just the opposite of me)

Both have awesome cameras for a phone, but neither one holds a candle image wise to my DSLR's

I have done pro photography for years & if you know all the tricks for taking a good pic then either the N2 or the S4 will produce quite a good quality 8"x10" print. I use the awesome SV-5 camera app in both phones. I have two 8x10's of my daughter from the N2 printed & framed in my family room& when I tell people they came from my phone half the time they think I'm lying.

After extensively comparing the Verizon N2 camera with the Verizon S4 I don't really see that the S4 camera is any better at all (if I thought the S4 was noticeably better I would own both phones & switch the sim back & forth depending on what I was doing that day). The S4 produces a much bigger file on full resolution obviously, but unless the file is produced by a bigger physical sensor (that neither phone has) that doesn't mean it is any better quality.

As far as the USA version compared to the International version is concerned, at least the Verizon versions of both phones seem pretty comparable. I would LOVE to try out an INT version, but I will never leave VZ service again (I made that mistake once, never again)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
lol, these discussions are always super funny because in a year it'll be irrelevant anyways.

S2 vs N, S3 vs N, S3 vs N2, S4 vs N2, S4 vs N3, N3 vs S5, N4 vs S5, S5 vs N4... etc etc.

Everyone has different uses for the phone and asking these types of questions in a N2 forum is going to get a overwhelming majority of people in favor of the N2.

Buy what you want and be happy, go to the store, try out the phones, and pick for yourself. I'm not blowing 200-800 dollars on a phone because people on the board recommend it. I'm still going to try it out and play with it for a bit myself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
It's always a good idea to play with it :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmill75:
Im in the same boat. I was excited to get the S4, better camera, smaller profile etc...Got it home and almost instantly I had a bad feeling. The screen was obviously smaller (seemed much smaller), I noticed lag, just overall snappiness wasn't there like with the N2 and battery was terrible next to the N2. Now I know some of these things are to be expected since obviously the battery is smaller, but so is the screen. Anyway, after giving it a few days I couldnt take it anymore. Back to the Note I go. It's going to take a lot to make me switch going forward. The Note is bad a*!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nthknd:
Sorry I see your on Verizon

If your on Att give the optimums g Pro a try. I have both and love them both. The notes great but you'll love the g pro screen and power.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Diversion:
I'm in the same boat.. Picked up a S4 at full price and on the whole, am pretty underwhelmed by the transition.. The only things I can say I like about it is the size and weight.. After that, the Note2 is just as fast and fluid. I have a rom and custom kernel on my S4 and sure it no longer has strange lag and delays but if you already have a Note2 the S4 is just a smaller, portable heater if you will..

Plus the DAC on the Note2 (Wolfson) is far better and I listen to a lot of music on my phone.

I think i'm going to return the S4 unless the corp stores want to charge me a huge fee. Last time it was $35 I believe which I think is fair if you're not sure if you really want to make the move or not.

Edit: I've decided that if I can't sell my Note2 within this 14 day period of buying the S4, i'm just returning the S4. Nobody wants to buy the Note2 on craigslist.. Shocking really, I've had to lower the price down to unbelievably cheap levels and still nobody wants it or wants to offer ridiculous low-ball offers on my Mint condition Note2. People are somehow in the "know" and want a S4 over the N2 these days which I find that if you can at least deal with the size of the phone, the N2 is far more stabler, runs cooler, and better battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fizeq:
Try swappa.com. I've had a good experience selling my Thunderbolt for a very fair price.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Diversion:
They are like 450+ on ebay for probably ones in less shape than mine. . And on Craigs in my area, people want 480+.. I keep getting 300 offers.. I feel thats kind of cheap when I got 350 for my S3 when I sold that off for the Note2.. i guess people just really dispise the size of the N2.. But it packs so much to offer and excellent batt life.. People have no idea how nice the N2 is overall.. and thanks i'll check out Swappa
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] koreankabachy:
I'm am one of those people that like having the newest and best phone... Within reason. Thought long and hard about s4 but couldn't find anything that would want me to switch. Money isn't the issue, just can't see downing the screen size and battery life for possibly slightly better camera. Still got gn2 and don't see anything replacing besides another note. Don't use the spen alot but nice to have when I want it. Don't see my phone being big... Just see others as being small.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Diversion:
Its best to keep your N2 honestly.. when you play with both, i like the way the S4 feels in hand but it's truly not any faster in day to day stuff.. It's just on a hardware technical level, it is faster.. but at a price of battery life and heat (my S4 gets hot just surfing the web).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wheelchairmitch:
Thanks for the info. Was about to trade my n2 for a S4. Heard about poor battery and heat issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WillEat4F00d:
I bought the s4 off cl just yesterday night for 450. That night, I started playing around with it a little, to get it looking like my n2. Today at work, I messed it with a bit more. The thing that got me worrying was how fast the battery was going down. On my n2, I would have about 60ish or more percent left on my battery after work from 9 - 9. On the s4, I had about 60ish percent left around 5 o'clock and I barely had time using it.

I had the n2 with me and could definitely noticed the sharpness of the s4 screen, especially when comparing text. While my n2 has basically no lag, I saw some lag when using the stock messaging app and some other times on the s4. The s4 felt really good in the hands though I must say.

I ended up selling the s4 today at work to my boss and made a $10 profit lol. I didn't appreciate the n2 enough until I started using a different phone. A n3 with the 1080p screen, thinness and better use of bezel like the s4, and battery life comparable or better than the n2 would be awesome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Onemoa:
Yeah, that's what I was saying as far as the camera. But as I said the international S4 camera does beat the Note 2 camera but it's because of the hardware.

I do want to ask, how is the SV-5 camera app compared to the stock camera on the Note 2?

I do have a few camera app's but I've found they are not much better for quick point and shoot photos.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
I use Camera FV-5, i think that is what he meant to type since there is no SV-5 app that I can find, and it is pretty ****ing awesome! I use it quite a bit and on AOSP roms I use it as my default camera app. The devs website has a user manual that you can check out if you're wondering about the features and all.

I generally find the pictures to be less grainy and have more color that the TW or AOSP stock camera, it is just a really sweet camera app. I tried a bunch of different camera apps before I found it and none of them even came close.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xikongapanda:
Note 2 for life (;
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] christiansectas:
I was so excited but...

I was so excited about the 1080p screen, the "faster" Processor etc etc, so I sold my note 2 and used one of my upgraded to get the S4...I had it for 12 days and my friend let me borrow his note 2 so I could tweak it a little and holy sh*t. the note 2 was WAY faster, and the battery no comparison at all, having both phones side by side, the s4 looked like a toy, took it IMMEDIATELY BACK to the store and got myself another note 2...Once you go into the NOTE line of phones you just can't just go back the S3 OR S4's the note is just a different breed, a superior one...Can't wait for the note 3 :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] geoff5093:
I completely agree!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hinds90:
Lol i'm coming from a iphone 5. I switch phones probably every 6 months mainly so i don't have to use my upgrade. I'm sure the s4 will hold more value this fall but reading this thread has me wanting the note 2. I have huge hands so i'm sure i'd enjoy the note 2 size better but the s4 is only what .5 inchs smaller. Which would you guys get if you knew you will be switching phones in the fall. I have trade offers for both phones. Was set on the s4 but not so sure now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ifiwasperfect:
YES!!!!! I drive a camaro and the cup holders are super small fromt he get go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] geoff5093:
Yeah, the worst part about the Note 2 is that it's slightly too big for cupholders, one of the most annoying times is when I'm at the movies and need a place to put my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Onemoa:
I think it's worth it though. The Note 2 is a better phone all around then the S4.

I was in the T-Mobile store about to use a upgrade to get the S4 but then I put my Note 2 next to the S4 and played with them both for a while. I decided right then and there I wouldn't be getting the S4. If anything I would wait for the Note 3 but if the Note 3 uses a pentile display like the S4 then I'll wait for the Note 4.

Now that we know the Note 2 will be getting the upgraded TouchWiz UI and allot of the features that the S4 has, even though most of them are gimmicky to say the least. I feel the Note 2 will be able to hold its own for a long time to come.

I never owned a phone like the Note 2. Most of the time I get bored with my device and want a new one but with my Note 2 I feel that I could keep this phone until my upgrade is up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] savaytse66:
Hmmm, so the general consensus, in this thread anyway, is to go with the Note 2 over the S4. I am currently on the S3 but need to give it to my wife since she just shattered her Razr MAXX. So I am heading into Verizon to get either the Note 2 or S4. I've been lusting after the Note 2 for some time, but it was recommended to me by a well respected developer to go S4 over Note 2. Such hard decisions in life. I'm torn between a better camera and IR on the S4 with larger screen, better battery, and the S-Pen on the Note 2.

How is the development on this device? It looks to be much slimmer than on the S3, and the S4 is hot because of the novelty of a new device. I just want to make sure that this thing is going to give me at least a year!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nate14:
I think most people will highly recommend the Note, especially in the Note forum. I'm quite sure the S4 forum would be full of people who ditched the Note and are in the love with their S4. I'll throw out my opinion on my Note and development and this is just my opinion btw...

I found myself growing tired of the size of the Note 2. I don't like the huge rectangle in my pocket and I miss using a device easily in one hand.

As for development, unless you are wholeheartedly devoted to one of the major roms, ie Beans, you may find yourself jumping between that and some other lower key roms, and then back to Beans. If you're like me you'll probably find yourself longing for AOSP roms but are just unable to use what we have currently daily. In my opinion, if you're a crack flasher and like trying out new things all the time, strongly consider passing on the Note.

Of course this is all just my take and I know people who are in love with their Note and say they'll use it for years to come.
[HTC Droid DNA] amit_sen:
I have been getting a lot of PM's for troubleshooting persons trying to build CM10.1 and AOKP. I myself has just started to build/understand how these things go about.

Since i have also been helped by fellow members of XDA initially, so its correct i give something back :)

So here it is. The following steps will help you to build your own personal builds of the same.

Iam assuming that you are familiar with building CM. If NOT, then there are tons of guide present which are useful in getting setup right.

Below steps are required to build CM10.1 for DNA

1. Initialize the CyanogenMod source repository

cd ~/android/system

repo init -u git://github.com/CM10DNA/android.git -b cm-10.1-chad

2. Download the source code (It takes mighty long time) :fingers-crossed:

repo sync

3. Get prebuilt apps

cd ~/android/system/vendor/cm

./get-prebuilts

4. Prepare the device-specific code

. build/envsetup.sh

5. Start the build

brunch dlx

After build process is completed, it will show the exact path where the .zip file is stored :highfive:

Next up will be AOKP. I will update this thread with the steps if there is interest in it.

If i helped, hit THANKS button :highfive:
[HTC Droid DNA] dr_acula:
Would please add the steps for aokp? I've already got aokp and chads cm source downloaded, just not sure what to do next. Thanks!!
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
I just want to add if nobody has built anything before, there's a lot of things you need installed before you can do this. You can find tutorials that tell you everything you need to build a ROM from the source. I remember seeing one in the nexus 7 forum and I think one in Android general
[HTC Droid DNA] stillthisguy:
Need a slight tweak...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Black_Ice46:
If anyone knows how to fix it please help. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] WarEagleUS:
I've never seen that but they mention in the app to hit them up on IRC if you're able too. Give that a try and also try using LGNPST using teenybins. That may help out as well.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Black_Ice46:
I would use tennybin but I'm not sure if I would be able to get into download mode since they said not to reboot because I could possibly get hard bricked. The part that failed contains download mode and if I reboot I could possibly not boot back up or get into download mode.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Black_Ice46:
I actually got it fixed. Problem was I was not properly rooted and so I was not asked superuser permission. Therefore nothing actually really happened :):D
[AT&T LG Optimus G] WarEagleUS:
Good deal bro. Gladthings were taking care of.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] akshay7g:
Hi, I too have the same issue as you faced. It didnt ask for superuser permission too. So will i end up hard bricking if i rebooted? BTW my phone is Sprint LG Optimus G LS-970. Wonder why the rooting failed.

EDIT: Device was still unrooted (I thought I did the rooting properly). Thats why Freegee went haywire and threw me hardware brick prone error on rebooting.

Ok it doesnt say it there, but the update to try beta 4 came through the app itself to my device and it carried a message saying it would be merged with anyone previously purchasing the Tapatalk 2 app. Now it was 7am and I was just waking up but I swear that's what I read :confused:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] el6006:
I like this app. It seems faster to me than the xda app. One thing I hare about the xda app is that if I'm in a thread and exit the app when I go back to it it puts me in that thread but if I hit back to go back to the list of threads it closes completely and restarts instead. Drives me insane.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stas333:
got ya. i didnt get anything like that.

anyways, what I really really don't like about this new app is when I open any forum, the left sidebar opens first. I like how the tapatalk pro opens directly to the last forum that was in. Also, the back button opens the sidebar also. I think the sidebar should only be opened only when user wants it to open not when the user first opens the forum or is trying to close the forum.

Also, if I only use XDA (once in a while I'll read some posts on Android Central, but I rarely post there) should I bother with Tapatalk, or should I just keep the XDA app? Just want some opinions as I've never used this before!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stas333:
if you dont spend much time on various forums, then there is no point in buying the app.

I would say that like Tapatalk HD, when it was in beta, that you will have to pay when it leaves beta. Having purchased Tapatalk a couple years ago, I can say it's well worth the money.

Damn that sucks. I'll just keep the XDA app rather than pay $3-$4 lol.
