Hi there, I've just bought the S4 and I made a backup before in my external sdcard, but I'm wandering if I can use that info now... Once I root the S4 how can I have that info back?
I had the twecked version on the Note 2 , is there anything similar on the S4?
Thanks
Some backup apps allow you to restore data between devices. Usually paid ones though.

Hey I don't have an answer to your question. But I want to know what's the difference you see in the two devices. Do you think the s4 is better and in what way. And how's the battery life compared to three note 2 I've Bern thinking of switching over myself but battery life is so good on the note 2

I can't tell you about the battery because I bought it today, however, it depends of the user, I had cpu sleeper and I had a few process that would start automatically with the system + a battery saver app from go and more thngs that kept my battery on the note 2 on for a while. I'm planing to do the same with the S4, if you want in 2 days send me a message to check

Hi guys, I have the S3 i9300 right now and was looking at the Note 2. Can someone else who has made the jump comment on it? Do you regret it at all?

Regrets? Hell no.
Theres so many amazing things about the note 2 but I dont feel like writing for years. But the S3 is also great so either way youre in good position.

I changed my S III for Note 2 also. The only feature that i am missing in S III now is the smaller more handy size against the punch of stylus & new features is not comparable to the S III. It is all about your needs!
I have both the s3 and Note2 in front of me right now, I will be keeping both for the forseeable future, not sure if I will use the s3 much now, but I like to have the option.

Sorry for the thread jack.
To the guys who've upgraded.
What do you like more about the Note compared to the S3
I've currently got the OG Note and can get the Note 2 or S3 tomorrow, but I'm not sure if there is such a big difference compared to the S3 as there was with the OG note and the S2?

I'm sure Apple fanboy will say otherwise, but I'm not one. The question is why the US get it so late. This is what we get to have a kimchi company making a better phone. But yea the screen will be significantly better, a non-pentile AMOLED. I'm glad I waited instead of trying to get GS3 earlier.

Yes.
The battery on Note II is huge! You can easily get 15 hours with very heavy use!
Been using both for the last week its not the same phone note II is a much more creative phone but it is to me a little too big!
The battery is a little bit better but not that much better maybe it will improve with custom rom and kernel

If you can handle the size and forking out more cash then yes otherwise no.
The only major criticism I have against the note 2 is the screen sharpness, the text just doesnt look as crisp as it doescon the S3.
Everything else is better, faster and smoother on the note 2.
I currently have the Galaxy S III on Sprint that I got the day it was released. However, I am switching to AT&T next week, and I don't know if I want to get the AT&T Galaxy S III or the Galaxy Note II. I love my Galaxy S III, with my one wish being that it had a quad-core processor. With the Note II, I love everything, except it seems like it might be too big. However, I have big hands, and I don't use my Galaxy S III one handed anyways. I also do a lot of texting/emailing.
What do you think? Is the Galaxy Note II worth the extra $100 or so? Does it run really fast, smooth, and speedy compared to the Galaxy S III? Also, can you use third-party keyboards using the one-handed setting like you can with the stock keyboard?
Also, is it likely that both AT&T and Samsung will keep updating the Galaxy Note II over the course of the next 18 months?
It depends. For me, the determining factor actually wasn't speed or screen size but rather usability. IMHO the GS3 felt just as fast with a little OC'ing plus it fit in my pocket.
I own the S3 and had the Note 2 for 2 weeks. Really the Note is a great phone. If the size doesn't bother you I would get the Note 2. I ended up returning the Note 2 though. I didn't return it because it was a bad phone. I returned it because I just couldn't justify wasting an upgrade to go from the S3 to the Note 2. The difference between the 2 isn't as great as one might think. Plus my S3 with an Hyperion extended battery this thing lasts forever.

So hi guys
I recently got quite bored with my note 2
And sick of the fact that aosp wont ever be perfect on this phone because of Samsung notvreleasing sources...
And so I tried to trade it
I got an offer where I can get a 16gb used nexus 4 and around 125usd for my note 2
Do you guys think its worth the trade?
May I please have your opinions?
Thx
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
Perfect as in no spen features and such? Does the nexus 4 have spen to begin with. Basically u can install aosp rom and it will be exactly or not better then the nexus 4. Needless to say about the 5.5inch and long battery life. Why waste money on a downgrade when u can have the possibility of an upcoming dual boot kernal coming in.

WTF ?
The gnex has a 1.4ghz processor.
Please watch a nexus 4 vs note 2 video. Or a benchmark.
Note 2 is far better then nexus 4.
Also I heard nexus 4 has a pretty bad camera.

Sure. Asking this question in a forum of Note II owners isn't going to help you any. Everyone (like myself) has paid a lot of money for the phone so of course we're going to defend it (no one likes to think they purchased a lemon)
You'd better off looking in the phone you want to trade for and reading their opinions. Everyone phone sounds perfect on paper but when you get it has issues. Remember that.

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:

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.
Just got my S4 today coming from the Note2 and I have to say I don't miss the Note2 one bit this device is world class

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.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
I was thinking about getting a Note 2, i dont really see a point in the S4, its basicallly a miniature Note 2 with a slightly sharper screen. But a friend of mine has a Note 2, and his one after about 6 months of use is slowed to a crawl, ive got a trusty Galaxy S1 handy and even that outpaced it through the general UI although i didnt have many apps on it. How bad is the lag? And is it only with a the stock roms? Surely 2 GB of RAM is enough to keep it running without problems.
Does your friend by any chance have eleventy billion apps installed and storage full of crap they never use?
Lag should not be an issue. Even if it is, backup - wipe - restore - good as new.

Yeah wondering the same - how did he get it to lag? I use custom touchwiz based ROM, debloated, and there's zero lag.
Lag? What does this word mean? Buy the note ii and you wont regret it....also check if your friend has the phone in power saving mode! only there i can see lag!
I think your friend installed a lot of apps that resides in the memory and run on background. I think most users here doesn't have that problem even on stock rom.
