Yes. Its not like iPad 3 to 4. Its a generational change. Everything is better. I used nova as my launcher to put 5x5 grid but otherwise its all stock. One word fantastic. I look at my note 1 and its like looking at my HD2 compared to my Note 1! Battery life is 2x.

Can we use Note 2 SPen on Note1 ?
HI,
Did you try using Note2 S Pen on Note1? Did it work ? I am curious to see if this works on Note 1 (SGH-i717)

While I don't own a Note 2 yet I know the Note 1's stylus will work on the Note II and vice versa since they both use Wacom UD digitizers. I actually use my ThinkPad X61 Tablet PC stylus on my Note 1 perfectly fine.
Yes, both S Pen of Note LTE and Note 2 works on each other.
And about uograde , yes its worth it in every sense ,specially processer and battery.

Good that they work, but the first generation note stylus really sucked. New one is much better.

I mean to ask the 2nd phone to have with the note 2.I already have the note 2 and i want to buy a 2nd phone along with my note 2.

Well, to be honest I don't see the necessity of having two Android phones especially when you hold the top Android phone already in your hands. Buy a cheap phone for calls/text if that is your case. Buy an iPhone 5 to get the best of both worlds. Lol. HTC J Butterfly is a competition for the Note 2. Droid Razr Maxx HD for the greatest mAh battery for a phone.
Motorola razr m would be a good choice if something more portable is on ur mind..

iPhone 4s then. Will be cheap by now. But still no jailbreak though. Waiting for one on my iPad 3
Lumia 800 is dirt cheap now on payg. I might have to get one for times it would be dangerous to carry the note 2 and give me somewhere to put my 2nd sim. If only we had proper Google voice in the UK.

Im personally thinking of getting a nexus 4. (if they ever become available ) i know my note 2 is the best in a lot of ways but i can never have just one phone for extended periods of time. I think the smaller size and stock Android is a great second phone, especially if you don't like rooting and romming.

I used my note II along with a HTC One X and thought it was a great companion phone. Only thing that bothered me was the standby time of the HoX being around 4 days with an hr of screen time.
I also use an htc one x and the note 2 together. Great combination because you get the bad ass screen of the one x and the functionality of the note 2. Plus i just wifi tether to my one x to save me having a second sin card

Hi,
I am a Note II owner, and i have been considering selling my Note 2 for the S4,
Although i would hate to depart with the 5.5 inch screen
Will any of you be selling your N2 for S4?. as i doubt we will get most of the new features on the S4 on the note 2 ;(

We have luck we have Perseus kernel, so colors look natural, but still its not bright and burns in.

The Note 2 can receive all the new software, but the SG4 will never receive the big screen. The Note 3 is the big dream...
No way will I sell my note 2 and add extra to get an S4. However, if someone wants to exchange then I might. The extra score on benchmarks and few gimmicky features just aren't enough for me to invest more money.

Certainly won't change the Note 2 for the S4
Nope. Definitely i won't be changing it, Maybe the Note 3, but certainly the S4 i'll pass. I don't feel the need to do it, since, much i've already got in my note2, and if 4.2.2 and the S Drive comes to the Note 2, i am sure i won't need it!
Plus the Screen, i just LOVE bigger screens, whenever i get an S3 on my hands it feels like it's so small!

I dont think its worth giving up the Note 2 for but if you have a update and are going to get it thats the way to go
Thats what I did im keeping my Note 2 and upgrading to the S4. Keeping the Note for backup device and for work purposes

I got a upgrade a few days back. Choose the Note2 over the S4. Had a S3, Best buy gave me $268 for it. I could have left the store with the S4 for total $4.78 after my trade in , tax and best buy reward points. But I wanted the larger Note2 indtead and dont regret it.

Some people say that there's more power in the s4 so that's why they're heading to the s4. Others are going for the smaller size cause they can't handle the note. And others have bought into the special features

My Choice
My Epic 4G died a few days ago and I had an upgrade. I chose the Note 2 over the S4. Battery life, bigger screen (to make up for the loss of my keyboard) and SPen plus other things that I cant put into words sold me. I used both side by side and just loved the Note2. When we get 4.2.2 I think that will make the note 2 even more awesome...IMHO. Now I have TWRP on it and trying out ROMs...Loving the Note 2. :good:

Try synergy. Best rom imohop. I have flashed at least a 100 on my S3. Since I bought the note 2 this is the only rom for this phone. It is stock on speed, but I themed it with a seperate program and have it just the way I like it.

I don't think the megapixels have much to do with low light as the quality of the sensor itself and f.stop and aperture. I'd much rather a lower MP with better sensor and F.stop than all the megapixels in the world.
But i get your point nonetheless.

What was your problem with the note2? I had a chance to pick up the S4 cheaper than the note2 but choose it because of size which fits me perfectly.

Last I looked the Mega had very little dev support while the Note 2 has tons of roms. Based on that, and the better hardware, I'd go with the Note 2.
i think it depends on what you would be using. If you want a big screen with good performance (I would think mega to be a tad faster than note 2 given to the snapdragon SoC), prob better battery life, then go with mega. If you think you would need the rom, S-pin input, slightly ligheter and more portable the note is your choice. I think if you plan to carry the phone with you as a primary device, I think Note II probably offers the best combination of features, size, weight.
