[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxPixX:
That's a pretty good price... but I wouldn't buy this phone for $150 (Way too many problems with it to fit in 1 post).

The main problems with it:

-Terrible performance in Samsung Jelly Bean (very slow, slightly laggy in scrolling, not enough RAM to keep 2 apps in memory at the same time)

-Appalling performance in AOSP firmwares (extremely fast, terribly laggy in scrolling) - that's Samsungs fault due to them not giving a rats ass about devs

-Black clipping with the screen

-A legacy phone now (No more official updates, fewer devs)

If your GF doesn't mind a small screen and probably an inferior camera to the Note's then she should get the Moto.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azeazezar:
150 would be spot on for value, imho. If the N7000 is in peak condition. Is it better then a moto G? No. I would say the moto G is slightly better. But the note does have some things going for it: Bigger, Better screen (IMHO) and the stylus.

I would only recommend it with a custom rom. Stock firmware is not good.

I would not trade my N7000 for a moto G.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoteboyTech:
It is a legacy device.. still pretty good with stock jellybean.. yes a bit slow but gb firmware can always come in handy! yet I suggest you to leave a 2.5 year old device and get the moto g with stock 4.4 latest update!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordManhattan:
Go with the Moto G. You'll get official KitKat, future updates and a fresher community here at XDA. You're basically buying a "dead" device if you choose the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Descendent182:
Ok, I'll stick with moto g then, thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatkovladko:
Descriptions above are generally correct, however there are things not to forget (from my personal experience, I still own the Note):

1. Much larger screen

2. SD card slot (mine was effectively 48 GB)

3. Replaceable battery (2 times already replaced for ~$15 a piece)

4. Better camera

If I was forced to choose between the two it'd be real hard for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irwenzhao:
I would still go for the Note 2. Not to be bias, but since the Note 2 is getting cheaper now, it's a good choice due to it's screen size, performance and the support u can get here at XDA.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FabreFaction:
I would say it is worth buying for that price.

I haven't played with a Moto G so I don't know if it is better or not.

The Samsung Note is still a great phone is you run the right ROM.

I have had mine since it was released and can't see any great reason to upgrade as it does everything I need it to do.

I don't get my phones on contract, I tend to buy them outright and get a cheap SIM only deal.

There are lots of customised stock ROMs with the Samsung UI and apps for the S-Pen.

Or there are many awesome vanilla-esque tweaked KitKat ROMs such as Omni and Dirty Unicorns.

Watch out for a phone that won't charge.

Could be a damaged USB daughter board (about £35 in the UK at Samsung repair centre).

Or could be a knackered battery (about £30 from Samsung, good alternatives from Anser etc. for under £20)

Also...............

The camera is awesome.

You can slot anything up to 64Gb SD card into the Note, depending upon ROM/Kernel.

It is very well built.

But don't expect any further Samsung support, your support will be through Google and XDA.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theo Chamalis:
Note ftw

Having tried both phones (moto g has a friend of mine and i am a proud owner of a Note), i can assure you it is great value for money for the price you said. Here in greece it is sold around 230$ for a used one. You should consider buying it if you want a bigger and better screen (AMOLED = deeper blacks and more vibrant colours), a stylus, more cases, back covers, huge batteries(3000 mAh +) and generally more accessories :). Also keep in mind that with a stock rom (many crapsung apps and stuff in it...) it is a bit sluggish and you better go custom (or else it is not worth it IMHO). Since it is a rather popular phone there are many custom roms with kitkat at the moment. I choose roms compiled with linaro or sabermod toolchains since they are a lot smoother(my note is more buttery smooth compared to my cousin's stock galaxy s4) and more battery friendly than other custom roms. I use the Slimsaber rom and never thought of changing to another phone since then :D

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aymenseb:
Well, have been so many months reading this forum, I had never need to post anything cuz everything was on there. Now I´m facin a problem, my Galaxy Note 1 GT-N7000 from 2 weeks battery level drops fastly, like 1% per minute, when was at +-5% the screen starts flickering. Then, this problem continued until it just didnt charge. I bought a new battery and works for 2 days, then the same problem. Did a factory reset, reinstall ROM, calibrate battery, clean caché, data... EVERYTHING for discard software issue, im using Android 4.1.2 Stock ROM with Root acces.

Firts I thought it was the battery, after getting the new one (seems to be original) and the problem continued I think about the USB mini port. Then I switched my uncles GT-N7000 battery, and his battery works fine on my phone, the only detail is that it didnt reach 100% and it was connected for hours, it just reach 92% and when reached 61% it stops for some 30 minutes. Meanwhile my Note's battery on his phone reach 100% but the charge just lasts for 90 minutes.

My questions are:

Can my phone be damaging all the batteries that get connected with it?

Can it be the USB mini port with a short circuit or may it be my motherboard?

PS: Te performance of the device is OK, smooth, fast, opens everything (camera, flash, sounds great), its just the battery level and uncharging. Its out of warranty Would thank any help or suggestions.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurnik_94:
Your battery is old. You need to change it to new one and everything will be OK:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irwenzhao:
He changed it already. Read the OP please.

I suspect a hardware issue, you'll have to go to Samsung Service Centre to check it out... use Triangle Away and unroot before sending it to repair though.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FabreFaction:
Yes a dodgy USB daughter board can damage your battery.

The daughter board manages the charge rate under the oversight of the kernel.

I have replaced the daughter board on my N7000.

See here for the full story.

There are a lot of cheap copies out there that don't work well.

The safest solution is to get it replaced at a Samsung Service Centre.

If you're under warranty, flash a stock ROM and unroot.

If you're not under warranty then just unroot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Micro Maniac:
I've seen some threads here and on Google with similar trouble but never any solution...

My phone calls started going to voice mail about 3 weeks ago WITHOUT phone ringing, leaving voice mail notification or showing in call history.

Checked the obvious, ringtones, etc. Phone will not ring or show any visual of incoming call..

Performed several hard resets, factory reset, Restore prior backups. Wiping caches. Everything except re-flashing MEANROM which I will do if nothing else works.

Called SPRINT support and they reset everything (any call forwards, etc.) Updated PRL, Profile... Entered 3 codes given to me by SPRINT (*720, *730, *740) No change. They said after powering back on the phone would perform a "Hands Free Activation". (This did NOT happen?) Phone will not ring or show any visual of incoming call..

Call Sprint and ask for password. It's not your pin and they gave it free
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Micro Maniac:
The "Code" it wants is the MSL number. Once I entered that into the password prompt it allowed me to do the network reset. The phone re-boots and updates PRL. As soon as that was done I got 8 undelivered text messages but it still will not ring the phone on incoming calls.

Closer but not yet there...

Problem Resolved!

Problem resolved on SPRINT's end! Apparently tech support neglected to reset one option which when reset the phone worked. (she didn't say what it was but saw it immediately.)

I would really like to play around more with flashing different ROMS except I'm a newbie and while most of my problems have been solved here I find it too difficult begging for assistance. I find more one liner answers stating "... just do X Y or Z..." then off they go never answering further questions. There's just too many combinations of ROMs, Radios, HBOOT, Firmware, etc. that at almost every turn I get a sick feeling in my stomach that something is going to brick my phone and I'll have to beg here for someone to hold my hand. I tried MEANBEAN for a while but found the battery life not so great and was missing Beats audio. (I listen to internet radio in my car rather than my car stereo...) That's why I'm staying on ICS.

Thanks for all that tried to help me. I'll be clicking the Thanks button...

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hytromo:
I had been testing several ROMs while I saw an unofficial Cyanogenmod 11 thread. There was an available zip for pepper as well. I used Cyanogenmod 8 then. So I rebooted into recovery and flashed.

I then wanted to flash gapps, so I enabled recovery reboot in the developer options in the settings, I pressed the power button and I chose to reboot into recovery.

The phone just reboots normally.

Please note that root access has not been destroyed, I can access files that require root, it is just that the recovery reboot does not work, and now I am stuck with a ROM that I just wanted for testing purposes. Didn't expect that it would lock me in :p

Any help appreciated.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bobafetthotmail:
Many cm11 roms fail to reboot to recovery, but you can just reboot normally and press volume up .(or down, it's the higher one if phone is vertical) button a few times until it goes to recovery. This is manual system and works as long as you still have the recovery.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hytromo:
You saved me :)

Up button solved it :D

I'm posting the whole process for anyone having the same issue:

1) Enable Developer mode by clicking 5 times in the Build info under About phone in the settings.

2) Go in there and enable advanced reboot

3) Select advanced reboot and while the phone opens, hold Volume UP.

Now you are into recovery mode. Without selecting recovery reboot it didn't work (steps 1, 2)
