I want my new phone already. WHERE ART THOU 2013 flagships. Oh yeah it's not even 2013 yet. My upgrade is calling me. The wait is difficult. I am strong.
Dolphin opens the app for me. It asked me once which app I want to use and it opens the app ever since.
Yeah and by selling them the cost shold be about the same as waiting now, then sell the note 1 for almost nothing and buy a Note 3.You might as well get a Note II now and then a Note III next year. At the current pace of phone innovation, 1 human year is like 100 phone years.
You clear defaults on both YT and Dolphin?I reinstalled Dolphin and opened a YT link. No success![]()
Why did i see that, now my Note 1 feel soo slow. >< It will be hard to keep waiting for the note 3....
Note 2 is not an upgrade from Note 1, its a sidegrade at best.
That was an incredible review.Here's a really cool Note 1 and Note 2 comparison: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i93I0w0fko
I've been really impressed with heelsandtech. Her reviews are very in depth, informative, and worthwhile. Very cool.
I'm assuming you're mad because you can't afford to upgrade from your Note to the Note II.Note 2 is not an upgrade from Note 1, its a sidegrade at best.

I don't know, man. The Note 1 is really great. It's not a huge leap over the 1. The software is a big difference but since that's coming to the Note 1 already, it's not hard to wait. The 2 is definitely better but is it worth upgrading to? I didn't feel like it was.I'm assuming you're mad because you can't afford to upgrade from your Note to the Note II.
I agree. She also did that GS3 and N4 comparison before. Really, really good reviews. I'll subscribe to her channel and post the interesting stuff here.I vote we send her a message and have her be the unoffical GAF Android reviewer from here on out. Great subset of feature overviews without the bullshit.

Galaxy S3 vs Lumia 920. Friend might get the 920. What do you say, GAF? She says she doesn't really care much about apps now but pretty sure she'll regret it later.
No phone is worth upgrading halfway through your contract.

The Note 2 is a pretty sweet phone, but I never used a 1 so I can't compare them.

Yeah i'm waiting, should come during january... if it doesn't get delayed again ( was expected during december, and seeing how ICS kept beeing delayed in my country, i'm not optimistic ).wait for the jellybean update and see how much project butter does to bridge the gap!
You can watch YouTube videos without black bars on the note II. It's clearly superior.Thats weak.
Note 1 has a 16:10 screen. Note 2 has a 16:9.

Most of the youtube videos are not in 16x9 format. Plus I read magazine scans and comic alot more than video.
If you have a wide screen movie, you should watch it on your HDTV anyway.
but then you'd need some sort of stand with wheels and a power supply to take your HDTV with you...
Do you really watch full movies on your phone? I have never done it with any smartphone.
I only watch whatever video the Verge or Engadget link on their blogs.
I don't even watch Verge podcast on my phone. I only listen to them. I don't have time.
I always set up my smartphone so I can watch all my movies on my NAS but I have never actually done it with a 2 hour movie.
edit: Huawei's giant 6.1" phone probably will be call "Ascend Mate".
LG is known for its terrible update consistency. If you're going to buy an LG, get the Nexus 4.

I guess this is the tread to ask this.. I need a new phone as mine is broken. I am with T-Mobile, what phone should I get? Some say Nexus 4, others say one of the Galaxy phones, and I think there was a HTC phone also.. But yeah, whats the best one in terms of performance and features? My last android phone phone was a buggy, laggy mess, but I have a Nexus 7 and its changed my opinion more positively towards Android.
i'll buck that trend and say Galaxy Note II. it's SO AWESOME!!! the S Pen functionality is amazing!
works fine one handed with me. and it also means that i don't need a tablet at home!I must be getting old because I just don't get the Note. The device is too big. While I wish my iPhone was slightly bigger, I do appreciate being able to use it with one hand. When I'm out I'm not going to pull out a stylus. When I'm home, I use my Nexus 7. The Note to me just seems to be a smartphone-tablet hybrid but does neither well.
Got the GN2 before the Nexus 4 was released, all in all I'm really happy with it, after seeing my dad's GS2 stock updated to android 4, I can say I like Samsung's touchwiz, other apps, features and S-pen(and pretty extensive battery life), but still Nexus 4 is way less expensive and seems quite powerful (from the specs I saw)
8 or 16Gb with no SD card support is a deal breaker though..especially since I get to experience first hand that 16Gb limit with the Note 2 (it seems it's the same for the S3 too), since Samsung f*cked us by having the internal memory as sdcard and the real SDcard as being mounted as extsdcard.. long story short you can't move apps data on the sdcard. (Unless you're rooted and swap the internal memory for the SD card via a kernel patch)
The note2 has a great screen though, amazing for TV shows, anime, comics and manga scans, and it's processor enables me to play bad fur day at full speed, so I couldn't happier really![]()
You guys don't get it because you wouldn't even give it a shot.
True; I was going for an S3 since the very beginning but then got interested in the, then, just unveiled note2, but couldn't stomach the announced size, then got to use one and ("fuck it.") just bought one, and honestly, you get used to the size very fast and the most important thing for me is that it fits in my hand (a friend of mine has a note1 and it's much trickier)You guys don't get it because you wouldn't even give it a shot.
Am I wrong in thinking that unless going the rooting way, 4.2 is only on some Google devices for now?
I have an international note 2 (no fixed carrier) and 4.1.2 is as far as I got for now. (You can install leaked 4.2 stuff like the android keyboard with swipe on the stock note2 though)
it's a discussionWhy the hell you guys are justifying that the Note is not for you again? Nobody is forcing you to he use a Note. You can go to a dealership and buy a car in different size.
it's a discussion
also I wonder when keylime pie will be out. Manufacturers are probably skipping 4.2 and will go straight to that if it's near![]()
4.2.1 is almost as good as ICS 4.0.3, some new features but why not wait and just release it as a solid version to begin with?Am I wrong in thinking that unless going the rooting way, 4.2 is only on some Google devices for now?
