SIII has many variant....quad core(international)......dual core(2gb ram)...quad core (2gb lte)....

[Galaxy Note II General] KingpinZero:
i think you should get informed. Note 2 uses a different soc revision than S3, which is the first Exynos 4412 rev.1.0.

Differences are, first, the lower clockspeed. 1.4ghz vs 1.6ghz of the new Pegasus Prime SoC Exynos 4412 in the Note 2.

Also, different power management, thermal management, performance, an higher cpu/ram bus speed, i can go over and over.

The screen is not pentile, the note 2 has a better screen where actually you dont see any pixel. Better color saturation, better brightness.

Its more power efficent than the S3, which gets hot like a vulcano when slighlty oced.

Let alone all the things everyone knows; has 2gb of ram, theres an LTE variant, bigger and better screen, spen...new soc revision (rev.2.1).

Also gpu runs cooler and higher clocked.

So no, its not a big S3. I have both phones and theres a world of difference.

The S3 is not a bad phone, its a fantastic piece of device, but the strange reason behind the 1gb of ram, the awful pentile screen.....the note2 comes for 100$/€ more, to be honest is even cheaper than S3, and theres no competition really.
[Galaxy Note II General] fade2black101:
No.. its not

The international version is QUAD core and 2gb ram

Trust me

Fair enough it was a bit hasty to say "that's it" but I do find certain people are ultra defensive.

The S3 LTE which is 2gb ram and quad core is pretty similar to the Note II. Can't say ive noticed much difference with the screen apart from the size. At the end of the day,for me, the only noticable difference is the size and the spen and the battery life (even though it was slightly messed up with 4 1.2)

I can't say I have noticed any speed difference with the processor either.

Many people find the S3 more comfortable to use so I object to the people who are saying "LOLZ" to whether the S3 is a decent phone or not when compared to the note 2.

---------- Post added at 08:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------

Yeah I'll assume this guy doesn't speak english as a first language.

Believe it or not, I bought the note 2 for the bigger screen and spen.

No, it means we will be behind the curve when we receive 4.2.2...

If i loose 2% in deep sleep by 10h. Could i say 4.1.2 is better than 4.1.1in term of battery life? ?
[Galaxy Note II General] Skyfall6:
Me too, but under flight mood though...
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Absolutely not.
[Galaxy Note II General] ppn7:
So 4.1.1 could hold on 1% by 10 ?hours

Hi, I have the note2 in uk company 3 and cant update. Any Idea why?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II General] naeem86:
4.1.1 is good when u use the phone. That is screen on time. Considering deep sleep, for me 4.1.2 is better. I tried veindroid rom with perseus36. It is a 4.1.1 based rom that ive found on the forum. With this rom i was at about 3h screen on time and was still at about 70%. I forgot to take screenshot.:/
[Galaxy Note II General] ppn7:
I get the same screen time. At 50% i have 5h screen on time in 4.1.2 never tried 4.1.1 but after 50% it drains faster something like 8/9h at 5% without sync and almost always 2g sometimes 3g when i need. If sync is on i state 7/8h at 5%.

But you should know that it's on perseus kernel and uv uc 100mhz etc...

I had a Samsung software push notification on my GT-N7105 today sadly I was not in a wifi area at the time... does this mean the update is out for the LTE versions?
[Galaxy Note II General] naeem86:
I dont get these kind of stats with 4.1.2. Like now am on 4.1.2, i have 47% battery left and only 3h15 screen on time. And even if i uv i dont feel a significant change.
[Galaxy Note II General] scouse83:
What are these updates people are getting because I haven't had any sort of update since I got my phone and that was 4.1.2 nothing at all since then
[Galaxy Note II General] Skyfall6:
I have received an minor update today again, which the size of 24mb or so, I just noticed that the baseband version has changed, thats all, battery is the same as last update which was about 1 or 2 weeks ago, i am in NL but my phone is from France i believe, unlocked version.
[Galaxy Note II General] scouse83:
I've still had no updates I'm in the UK myself I want updates lol
[Galaxy Note II General] adamelphick:
I think the LTE version will be later as usual for most things! We pay more and get later (even later than the poor non-LTE people!)

Battery stats/Life/whatever....

I put a Zerolemon 9300MA battery in my Note 2 2 weeks ago.......i have charged it 3 times in 2 weeks......gone are the days of my phone lasting a day and then needing a recharge. Prior to this I had the Mugen 6400MA battery which cost me £70 in uk. The Zerolemon was only £25, and is absolutely brilliant, and comes with a new case to accommodate the extra battery size.

As for updates/stability downloads. If your phone works ok now, why is everyone so fanatical about updating the damn thing. :cyclops:

Something suggests me that samsung did something wrong with the last update....

With previous roms I had good battery life... both with stock kernel and neak...

Now after fresh installing the new rom (N7100XXDME6) I had poor battery life and lot of battery drain with screen on.... I checked with System Tuner and all 4 cores were always on and high temperature....

Flashed neak kernel..... good... 2 cores off, low temperature and less drain...

Well done sammy, a nice INSTABILITY update :fingers-crossed::laugh:
[Galaxy Note II General] Skyfall6:
nothing major, the modem has been changed (check ur baseband version before and after....), didnt dig too much, for me so far so good....
[Galaxy Note II General] wtr_dhd:
That's right. My N2 runs fine with 4.1.2 (ARHD). Everybody wants an update 'cause it's "new" but in the end nowadays as long as your android device runs minimum android 4.0 there are no comptability issues at all, everything works (unless with fully custom and experimental roms ofcourse, but that's a risk everyone should be aware of).

I remember when everyone with a Galaxy Nexus was dying for the 4.2.2 update too, but in the end, some people went back to 4.1.2 even because 4.2.2 drained battery and was more laggy.. I can confirm this too, my Nexus seemed snappier with 4.1.2 and except a few extra gimmicks I never found it all that innovating (except for the fast toggle tiles which are pretty cool).

Generally, any decent dual core and especially quad core phone with android 4.x runs everything without problems and nothing looks or feels outdated, and that'll be like that for a long time still I'm sure..
[Galaxy Note II General] landeiro:
ok,but dont agree. I Think that this update very late... August? Puff In this cases then Samsung S4 was redraw as Note 2.
[Galaxy Note II General] Jasonchewy91:
As much as I love my note 2, I recently got to try out hands on the lg optimus g pro and I've fallen in love with it. I've seen many similar phablets, but this is an upgrade from note 2 in many aspects. Similar acceptable screen size but with smaller prettiest bezel (I think this is the smallest bezel I've seen and it'll ever get), making it much more comfortable to hold and use in one hand than I thought it would be as compared to note 2. It feels lighter in the hand too. The rainbow home button also gives it a fashionable look. Design aspect is on par or even better than the htc one (if you would hold back your consideration on the material).

Initially I thought the q slide and quick memo function was pretty lame as compared to snote/multi-window, but when I tested it out it actually makes more practical sense than note 2. They also have the dual camera function which I really want from s4. In my opinion LG has a note 2 (possible note 3) killer and I can't think of anything which I dislike.

Even though it was launched pretty early this year but it's only until now which it becomes available to consumers in many countries. This will definitely eat into note 2's market share. Samsung will have to quicken it's 4.2 update for the note 2 to retain existing customers and really introduce a revolutionary note 3 to attract future customers.
[Galaxy Note II General] adamelphick:
Let's hope this next update solved the note 2 killing sd cards. .. I've just suffered again from a dead 32gb lexar card. . No indication straight after a reboot!
[Galaxy Note II General] naeem86:
Ur talking about updates. I came from an lg phone and lg is really really crap when it comes to updating their firmware. U may be happy now but in a few months when other updates are pushing in, u'll see how crap lg is. Maybe they make good phones but their service is really crap. I had an lg phone which was about the same line as the galaxy s2, and coming from gb, it only got ics update. And that too extremely late..when other phones were getting jb updates. so enjoy ur phone to the max now..in a few months u'll regret buying an lg phone.

Good luck..
[Galaxy Note II General] Jasonchewy91:

Agree with you completely. Why are a lot of people so crazy about all those ******* updates? If your SUPERPHONE Samsung Galaxy Note 2 works extremely smooth, there aren't any bugs why you are craving about those useless updates? I cannot understand. I threw out all the updates they sent to my smartphone. However, I will update my gadget but only with Key Lime Pie..... :)
[Galaxy Note II General] fade2black101:
I'm waiting for the nww update because I'm hoping it solves the wifi bug. Basically wifi being on drains the battery with the wlan_rx_wake bug. I have tried every tweak I could find to no avail. No doubt whatsoever this is a massive bug with Samsung as my HTC One S on Jellybean has a MUCH better battery life on idle.

Is this annoying bug enough to make me want to sell my Note 2? Probably not.

But it is enough to make me wish I got the HTC One instead. If this update does not correct this glaring fault then I probably will consider my options.
[Galaxy Note II General] aaleo:
New stability update 4.1.2...4.2.2 will be out with s4 feature
[Galaxy Note II General] scouse83:
My missus got the HTC one yesterday and my galaxy note 2 is soooooo much better seems a really boring phone the HTC does
[Galaxy Note II General] fade2black101:
That depends

I prefer Sense to TouchWiz by a long way so I find the Note more boring and ugly than the One.

I also prefer the built quality, speakers and sound quality of the One.

All IMO of course

is there a possiblility to have a android bios in a vmware session

-> can i make a backup of my phone and put it in a vmware ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haxin:
im not sure what you mean by android bios, but you could create a virtual device of your phone with the android-sdk and restore and install apps and data from a nandroid backup of your phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxicbubble:
VMware emulates hardware for x86 and AMD64 virtual machines, which is a different architecture to ARM which is used on your phone, so you can't just load your phone image into a VM like that.

You can run an emulated android system with the SDK as mentioned or look at something like "Bluestacks" to run android apps on your PC.

Hi, My SGSA I9070 which i bought about 4 months ago is doing some weird ****!

Phone shuts down automatically and doesnt start until the battery is removed and put in again..

after doing that it runs smoothly..

This happens about twice every day for almost past entire week.

Note : My RAM sometimes gets loaded up quickly.. like after rebooting about 200MB of RAM is free which after a few hours is reduced to just 100MB of free RAM..which keeps on reducing further..

Please help: Samsung GT-I9070 - phone shuts down at 60% battery; Android version: 4.1

Hello everyone,

Hope you are doing well.

I am facing similar issue as nickchets.

I own an unrooted Samsung GT-I9070 (Galaxy S advance). It’s a year and 2 months old now.

Current Android version - 4.1.2

The issue is when the battery is about 60%, the phone shuts down.

Sometimes, the display gets scrambled for a few seconds and then the phone shuts down.

I am attaching some pics of how the phone looks when the display is scrambled for some seconds.

Others, it just shuts down instantly.

In both the above cases, it shuts down like someone pulled the battery out.

The phone doesn't shut down when on charging through AC mains.

I have observed it shut down at 100% charge when it was hooked to my PC for charging.

The issue suddenly started occurring when I picked up my phone 2 days ago.

I have been noticing excessive heating before while playing a game on my phone.

Also (maybe unrelated), someone gifted me a cheap travel charger (the ones that have a battery in them and I can hook it with USB cable to my phone for charging).

I used the same for 5-6 days about 2 weeks ago.

I have tried factory restore via the menu that's triggered by pressing volume up, menu and power button on the phone.

Though the frequency of shutdowns has been reduced, the problem still persists.

I didn't use a memory card but after the reset I've put one in.

As the phone was recently factory-setting restored, I haven't put much apps in (just whatsapp, FB, super backup and click counter).

And not to forget I have apps that Samsung forcibly puts in its phones.

Can this be a battery issue?

Can this be some other hardware issue?

Can this be rom issue?

Is there any app that could determine what’s wrong with the phone is?

Request you to help me on above.

Regards,

Phoebus

I forgot to add in the details that I had already tried a battery from a friend's phone (same model).

For two hours, my phone's battery was in his phone.. He played songs for two hours.. it worked fine.

I ran my phone on his phone's battery.. my phone restarted twice.

If there is a battery issue, is there any any android app that could let me know that my battery is dead or almost dead ?

Also I read somewhere that trying to spin a mobile phone battery also is a test.. I tried to spin.. it didn't spin.. but applying pressure on one side of the battery seems to wobble it a bit..
