[Q] Help me on choosing.... - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey friends... Been a android user for a long time... Planning on upgrading my mobile... (currently i own galaxy y.)
I have shortlisted xperia z, galaxy note 2,nexus 4,HTC butterfly.
Seems xperia z will be very costly... 599 gbp (almost 820$)
So I'm thinking of leaving that one... I need help on note 2.is the exynos processor good enough and future proof? Coz I will having the phone for at least 2 years before I change again... This may have been asked many times in this forum but this one is vast... (Not like my galaxy y forum...) Been a while since the device was released.... So...,
How is the support guys?
Battery life? (pathetic in nexus 4)
Do you really use s pen?
I'm kinda mid sized person, how do you people manage to keep the device in your pocket?
Sound effect? (in headphones)
How good is the premium suit?
Any info on next update of touchwiz? (everybody hate it yet, I believe next one will be good)
Can the custom roms have multiwindow feature?
Which one will you be advising for me?
(no galaxy s4 or HTC m7 pls, can't wait that long... I'm in India and they release the mobile at a very high price, so gotta wait before I buy.)

I can just say 1 thing.. i love my note2 and im rly happy that i bought it. Spen is a +, its quite useful

Since Samsung is not a developer friendly company, you won't get enough support from AOSP or AOKP. Exynos is a Pandora Box, Samsung not willing to share any part of it or sharing very outdated versions.

Although I don't like Samsung much in some points, I always ended up with Samsung :S

I love my Note II in every single aspect.. But if you like AOSP or stock android, I dont think think will be the best choice for you unless you will not be using the S-pen. If the premium suit means the build quality , TBH its not as bad as people say , sure its made of plastic but once you get a nice case on it..it will feel very premium overall, I think you should get the Note II. The Xperia Z as you said is expensive and i personally dont like Sony's skin they keep on the phone (just my opinion). The butterfly,I dont know it maybe a good choice but i had an HTC before i get the note II and i can honestly say i will never get an HTC again no customer support..lack of updates,etc. But on paper the Butterfly seems good with Specs but daily life performance..HTC is Na-Na-Na-Na Bye bye for me

I have to say that I love my Note 2 also. I've only seen the demo (non-working) HTC Butterfly in the stores here in Japan, and it doesn't look as nice to me. I loved my HTC Desire HD, but after seeing the build quality of this Note 2, I think Samsung could have me as a customer for a long time. As for development, you can check out the rom list via my sig.

Thank you for your reply friends...
Good to hear positive ones...
Sorry by 'premium suite' I meant those apps which were specifically given to n2 and s3 by Samsung.
Not that I like pure vannila... But an active cyanogen mod 10.1 thread will be more than enough for me.
I was reading thru the battery life thread... It was very impressive... (seriously, what is the use of great features without a good juice support to use them)
Will Samloed be good to see?
(coz my favourite time pass is to count the number of pixels in my galaxy y)
Will be getting my new mobile by 10 days or so... (got exams now) will definitely update.
Thank you again friends. Just thought of asking how exactly a daily user feels about the phone

Yeah that's what I was hoping with xperia and butterfly... They disappointed me.... 45k? That's way too costly
Tapatalked from galaxy y

This will never end
once there is S4 available, rumor get starts popping up for Note3
as well S4 won't have s-pen feature and may be screen size should have lesser than Note2.
So i think if you have short listed go with one of it.
samsung have disappoint us with note1/2 for brick bug and SDS but as above sinancetinkaya said, same here
Always ended up with Samsung

Worst part is this phone isn't really day 1 new. 90% of these threads today are already here from 3 weeks ago.

Galaxy SII or Galaxy Nexus ? What do you think guys !

Hi everyone
1st of all, I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I'm gonna buy a new phone and I'm confused between SII and nexus. So I need your opinions openly and honestly about the previously mentioned devices WHICH ONE IS BETTER ?.
Thanks in advance :good:
This has been asked so many times its unbelievable. And i haven't even had the gnex as long as its been out so god know how many times its been asked.

I switched from an sII and I never looked back. The only thing that phone has way better is the camera...
Galaxy Nexus, by a long shot.

I told you I'm sorry if it has been asked. I did search but couldn't find anything relevant. please accept my apology
1 more thing guys : Is the internal memory only 16GB ?
I have had both. The gn to me is a great aosp phone and has great development section. The gs2 is a great phone as well yet not that good GPS and though you can get aosp the speed is not up to par with the gn. It also has a great development section if you are referring to GSM.
Both phones work great and just like every other phone out there, they all do the same thing. Some may be a Tad bit faster or a cm of better graphics but at the end of the day it's essentially the same as the last.
Try them both which ever fits your lifestyle then buy that one...

Well on my x10 with xda premium I can't search I just get 0 results no matter what I search. We cant always search before. ;-)
I'd say gnex based on the few reviews iv seen.
But I'm still going to wait a little bit longer to see the next wave of android device releases before I choose my upgrade. And my x10 is still a power horse after 2 and a half years.

I'd say yes. The Galaxy Nexus has no slot for an SD-card, so the 16GB is internal, but has many partitions for both /system/ /data/ and a fake sd-card which is in /data/media/ or simply /mnt/sdcard/ as its mount point is.
There was a 32GB version before it but was discontinued. Some are still sold by carriers like verizon.

Yes. GSM version only has 16GB of storage space, while the CDMA/LTE version has 32GB.

Whats wrong with it that you decided to join those horrible icults.
I would be eternally grateful if you were to give it to me because my home button is getting screwed up. however, if i could make a suggestion, you could donate the phone to one of the developers who do not have a wonder so that they can develop new roms better, faster and bug-free. Sorry to hear that you will be leaving the wonder community bro.

If you're really gonna give your Wonder away, might I suggest giving it to Arco instead. It would serve him well as his "developer's device".
And as for your move to iPhone 5... well, let's just say it didn't bring anything new to the table. I'm actually disappointed with it.
Good luck with your move. :fingers-crossed:

Yeah I recommend you to pass it to one of the dev who do not have a galaxy w but it's your choice

I think you should give it to a Dev. This is the most logic thing to do (in my humble point of view lol) and more people will benefit of your giveaway!

or maybe you can give it to gokhanmoral (you probably know him it if you SIII user) so he can develop something for our phone X)

[REQUEST] Note II's Multi Window feature

Hey guys,
just saw today a short clip with the note 2 in action. And the phablet got rocked the **** out of it
The guy using it just made a swype and a bar on the left side appeared, that contained a lot of shortcuts for some apps like video player etc.
So, there were two apps running at the same time. Just looked awesome, really awesome.
It would be great if some of our devs would be able to port this killer feature to our beloved phone. I think there is almost no limitation expect the 1gb ram -.-, but nevermind it will be okay.
In regards,
alex.

Topic changed to your title I just couldnt point it out as good as you But actually only 2 devices in the world can do the multi window feature Note 2 and Note 10.1 But this is imo a step further to real multitasking. Cause the "multitasking" we have on our phones at the moment isnt even comparable to the one of windows... If I hear MT, then I think that a lot of apps run at the same time, but when I just got out of the FB app with Home-button and then go in again, the **** reloads -.-' thas not really what I imagined...

Should I get the Note II?

Hello everyone
I am here mostly for opinions and some advice. I have used the iPhone for a long time. A few months ago I thought I should give Samsung and android a shot. I really loved my device [The note 10.1] and I'm thinking I should get the Note II. So what do you guys think about the device and does it come in handy? Appreciate any advice! Thanks
You should consider reading twenty other similar threads and you might find what you looking for.

Just go ahead mate...you will found that you should jump to note2 more early after you try it.
-same performance with iphone 5. ( i mean the ui smoothness and phone responsive)
-spen ( im sure you enjoy this exclusive features with your note 10.1)
-Battery life. At the moment in the whole mobile insdustry only motorola razr maxx able to compete with note2 in terms of battery performance. With 3100mah + low batery consumption quadcore proccesor you will found that iphone 5/4s totally not at the same level.
Other than mentioned abouve i dont think i need to explain more, since you was owner of note 10.1, im sure you knew clear how friendly user android os could be. No limitation of your os, could share any file with other friend with wifi direct/tap pouch. You 100% own what you bought. Not like i product just keep limitation to the user and their os is close sources as well.

I think you should buy this phone. Let me explain why:
• You'll get an amazing, big screen
• The battery life is amazing
• The S pen is an awesome piece of hardware and really functional as well
• The phone is butter smooth thanks to Project Butter
• All google play store apps that works on a regular screen size, also works seamlessly on this one
• A lot of possibilities thanks to Android
....and much more.

Haha ! I kinda agree on that !
I have the iPhone 4 as well .. I can't seem to work with it anymore .. and that's just after 2 days of using the note II
God, I love this device! and the devs are awesome in here !
Don't even think twice. If you like smaller screen, then try find out i9305 (not i9300) but there isn't big difference.
This was my best ever decision to have it. (After iphone 3g, 3gs, 4g, then Note. Finally landed at Note 2) With this perfect sized screen and stuff it is unbeatable.
Btw guys today I've played NFS Most Wanted on my friends PS Vita. Then compared game play, graphs, etc. by playing the same game in Note 2. Note 2 seems would be a better mobile console than Vita in my opinion .
