To Note (2) or not to Note (2)...that is THE question

Thought i'd ask around...

I have a Galaxy Nexus on sim only paying ?12.90/month on three UK...I have been frustrated with the Android 4.2 random reboots that are driving me nuts.

I am considering a Note 2, however I am loathe to go back to a contract with any phone provider if I can avoid it.

I have been offered the Galaxy Note 2 (no upfront handset fee) for ?38/month on 3. This has 500mins, unlimited data, 5000 texts...

I ONLY need 200 mins & three are not offering me a cheaper deal that covers 200 minutes which is pretty annoying!! Their contract plans are rigid even for long term customers which sucks.

Do you guys think I should stick it out with a randomly rebooting sim only Galaxy Nexus or is the Note 2 really that good that I would be silly not to upgrade with their offer?

Thanks guys

I would say, upgrade. Note 2 is a refined phone. A bit big but cool if you have no problems to lug it around.

Galaxy Nexus is last year tech.

Whatever your plan, 3 is always the cheapest. I never had any problem with their customer care as I always used to speak in our native language. :D

Their call centre is based in Mumbai and Pune.

If you like Note 2, you will never want to downgrade screen size in future handsets.

If you're considering upgrading only because of the reboot bug, then stick with the Nexus because certainly that is going to be fixed soon.

But... If you want the best smartphone in the market, then TAKE IT NOW. :D

Keep in mind that once you go Note, you never come back: either you hate it or love it. If you can live with a huge phone (you get used to it) and you can afford it, then it's a go.

I have owned the Note 2 from AT&T here in the states for the past 3 weeks............AWESOME PHONE! Yes the first thing that anyone says is wow that phone is so big but to be honest after a few days you wont even notice. The battery life on mine has been giving me about 1.5 days on moderate use with a recharge time of about 4 hours. This phablet is fast and sleek and the best thing that is one the market today.

Thanks Guys

I uninstalled HD Widgets & reboot issues seem to have one (for now). However I am certainly tempted by the upgrade to Note 2 - its just too damned expensive @ the moment!

If I could get a tariff with 3 for 200 mins for ?30 or less (with no upfront cost) I'd do it in a heartbeat

Changing phone because you are having random reboots ??

Wow

How about trying to fix your issue instead, which is probably caused by a specific application.

Just saw that you did exactly that.Now wait and see, until the dev update the app.

The Note 2 is a great phone, but I returned mine after a week, couldn't get used to the size (I have small hands though). Apart from the size everything else was perfect, so if you have big hands (and are unhappy with your current phone) go for it.

I just gave up my iPhone 4S for a Galaxy Note 2 and I couldn't be happier. The Note 2 is a great phone. Go for it.

I bought a Note II Wednesday and I returned it today and exchanged it for an S3. The reasons:

1. The Note II was just too big to carry around

2. The screen was not as bright and sharp as the S3.

3. The text messenger UI was laggy. The S3 for some reason is not.

4. The Home Button was also laggy. The S3 did not have that problem.

5. The Email UI was doing funny things earlier today. Flashing and stuff. Not good.

Maybe in the future I will get a Galaxy Note 3 or 4 or 5. We'll see down the road.

Did you end up exchanging the S3 back to the Note 2, what did you dislike about the S3?

Yes I did..LOL...LOL...LOL

Dude after taking the S3 home and playing with it, I realized how small the screen was compared to the Note 2 and I began to hit myself on the head for returning it. I really missed that big screen and the power of the Note 2 so lucky for me, my GF liked the S3 so I gave it to her and I used her upgrade to get another Note 2 and I will keep it this time....LOL...LOL...It's a fantastic phone. The size takes getting used to, but its worth it.

Oh by the way, the lag issues I do not have on this Note 2 I got now. I guess there was something wrong with that other one after all so I'm glad I returned it.

I have a Note 2 now, My S3 died so it's being sent for repair, I bought the Note 2 yesterday, rooted and Wanamlite ROM and here are my thoughts:

First full day at work with the N2 and given the same kind of usage as I used to give the S3 running Wanamlite as well.

Verdict?

Awesome!

The battery life is much better, I unplug the phone around 7AM when the alarm goes and normally by the time I'd get home at 4:30PM I'd have between 30 and 50% battery left (maybe less if screen on time was higher) as I like to listen to music, surf, whatsapp and email on the way to/from work but on the N2, even with the bigger screen I'm sitting here right now (as of 18:55) with:

note2battery_wanam.jpg

I use auto brightness and at work have WiFi switched off. One big thing I noticed was that even in places at work where the S3 struggled to load the web as signal strength peaked -90dBm, the Note 2 has no trouble even at -107 :eek:

The audio quality was a surprise as well, I use PowerAMP and the bass on the Note II is a little lower than the S3 but the treble and spaciousness of the sound is more clear, there's more warmth in the sound playing through the Vsonic GR07 IEMs, it's less 'closed room' than the S3 is.

The built in speaker is WAY louder and clearer than the S3, I played the latest Star Trek movie trailer and I properly enjoyed the big screen and big sound.

One handed operation? It's not as easy to use one handed as the S3 of course as it's quite slippery, once the case arrives I'll decide further on this as the S3 was slippery one handed as well but I had little issue using the phone one handed on the walk home listening to music.

Portability vs the S3... It is a bit thicker than the S3 but it fits in my top pocket without a huge problem, feels at home even.

What I like about it most compared to the S3 is how it's faster at doing everything, the camera loads faster, apps switch faster and there's over 700MB of RAM free whereas the S3 was always reaching within 100MB of the limit.

The screen is amazing, simply put! I haven't actually made proper use of the stylus properly yet, I need to download stylus enabled apps to play with as well but the responsiveness of it is near instant and I'm liking it a lot.

Here are a few comparisons to the Galaxy S3 showing audio quality of the speaker vs the S3:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wfblwK9aBFo

If anyone wants me to compare anything else against the S3 then I'll be happy to do whatever :)

As of (20:55) the screen on time is 3hrs 16mins, uptime is 12hrs 15mins. I've been doing the tests above at 100% brightness so that took some off but at this rate I can see 6 hours screen on time and 24 hours battery life :eek:

I have noticed one bug and maybe it's Wanamlite ROM but if you turn off autobrightness then the screen won't autorotate even if autorotate is enabled. Bit weird but I use auto brightness anyway. Speaking of this, autobrightness is better on the NOte II than on the S3, it's less jumpy and more pleasing, more battery friendly too.

Great!!!!!. The autorotate deal must be your ROM because mine is not rooted and that doesn't happen to mine.

Weird it seems to be working fine now, I just cycled auto modes and it works now lol.

Anyway, here's the lowdown on battery + screen on time:

One question, how did you root your phone? What did you use? Mine is on AT&T - U.S. version.

Just a piece of my mind: I tried a Note 2 for several hours and the note taking ability it's still not quite perfect. If you heavily rely on note taking you're better off saving a few bucks and getting an SIII or a ONE X.

I tried an S3 and a note 2 and found the Note 2 to be slower and laggier than the S3 (which was quick and smooth)

This was an odd situation as it shouldn't have been that way logically but at the time I opted for an S3 as I also didn't need the larger screen.

Can anyone who has used both confirm or deny what happened when I tried it please? as I would expect the note 2 to be as fast if not faster and smoother

It is caused by Android 4.2 and likely 4.2.1 as well and is a fairly common issue. The fix is to roll back to 4.1.2 until Google resolves it.

Check XDA. It's easy to root these phones, especially devices that sell well - they'll have a lot more ROM's from the community.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the Note 2. It's just too big, but the hardware is impressive. I'd rather have the newly released Droid DNA.

The Note II probably wasn't updated while the S3 was.

I've had the S3 since launch, both running the exact same ROM and Android version and the Note II is faster at everything thanks to the extra GB of RAM mostly.

Nothing like that here. My Note 2 flies.

Another thing. If you find the UI slow, why not replace it with this lightning fast alternative - no need to root your phone at all!

Haven't seen a launcher require root. Not saying it's not possible, just haven't seen it. I've tried many launchers, my current daily driver is Nova (It can use root)

    • Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals by Sayan Sen Recently we covered great deals on several soundbar models from the likes of Sony, JBL, Samsung and others for really good prices (the lowest in several months). Aside from that we also reported on the Edifier S3000MKII, a hi-fi two-way bookshelf monitor that's available for only $800. Today we bring a list of AV receivers from Onkyo that are available at great prices including the Onkyo NR7100, RZ30, and 8470 (purchase links under the specs table down below). The Onkyo TX-NR7100 and Onkyo TX-RZ30 are both 9.2-channel AV receivers designed for immersive home theater setups but they occupy slightly different tiers within Onkyo’s lineup with the RZ30 positioned as the more advanced model. The TX-NR7100 is a THX Certified 9.2-channel receiver offering up to 100 W per channel (8 ohms, 2 channels driven). It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced formats, with flexible configurations such as 5.1.4 or 7.1.2 speaker layouts. A key highlight is its built-in Dirac Live Room Correction which should help optimize sound based on your room and its acoustics. In comparison, both models share several core capabilities though the RZ30 is geared toward enthusiasts seeking more precise calibration and system flexibility, while the NR7100 is positioned as a slightly more accessible, value-focused option with strong all-round performance. The technical specs of the RZ30 and NR7100 9.2 AVRs are given in the table below: Specification Onkyo TX-RZ30 Onkyo TX-NR7100 Power Output (FTC, 2ch driven) ~100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) 100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) Dynamic / Peak Power 9 × 170 W (6Ω, 1kHz, 1% THD, 1ch driven) 220 W/ch (6Ω, 1kHz, 10% THD, 1ch driven) Frequency Response 5 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) 10 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) THD 0.08% 0.08% Room Correction Dirac Live (full bandwidth) Dirac Live (with AccuReflex support) Immersive Audio Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Speaker Layout Support Up to 7.2.2 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing Up to 7.2.4 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing HDMI Inputs / Outputs 6 inputs / 2 outputs (eARC) 6 inputs / 2 outputs (Main + Sub/Zone 2) HDMI 2.1 Support 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC Video Formats HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 Streaming / Network Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Get them at the links below: Onkyo TX-RZ30 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $797.00 (Sold and shipped by Electronic Expo) Onkyo TX-NR7100 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $699.00 (Sold and shipped by Adorma) Onkyo TX-8470 2 Ch Stereo Receiver: $449.00 (Sold and Shipped by Adorma) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      A different thing with Russia. When you say is it better, depends on things. It is better that we don't have the E.U making rules and laws that have nothing to do with them. Is the trading part better? No, that is really mucked up, but then we knew that was going to happen and we would have make agreements, like we do with other parts of the world. Freedom of movement is certainly better, but could be improved, we still need more control over our borders. do you live in the U.K?

      So what am I quoting from them? I never listened to what Farage or his cronies said. I wanted the U.K to leave the E.u years before the referendum and it had nothing to do with Farage and his cronies. So what country do you live in? Did we work much better together? We were always at logger heads with the E.U because we disagreed with them so much. Maggie was always on at them. I would have thought the E.U was glad to get rid of us as we stopped the integration or made it a two tier. Now without us they can integrate more. I would not have voted out if it was just a trading block and we can still work together on somethings.

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.
