Hey guys,
I recently got the Samsung Galaxy S II X, originally with Telus, but now with Koodo. I wanted to know what your thoughts are on rooting the phone. I am new to this kind of thing and don't know the benefits or drawbacks. The main reason I want to root is so I can underclock my phone when battery is running low. I am currently only getting 15 hrs a day with moderate usage. If you think rooting is a good idea, do you have a link that has a step by step to do it.
Thanks in advance,
Aaron
You got absolutely nothing to lose rooting it ;-)

Any links to root my phone?
Do you think it will be worth it to upgrade from my GS3 to the NOTE II?
I have read in the other gnote 2 forum there is a lot of other gs3 users who made the switch and are far happier with the note 2. U might want to take a look over there and see what they say

I returned my GS3 in order to get this phone. With all the quad cores coming out I felt that staying with a dual core would be a bad choice for my first android device. In reality it is all a matter of preference, I plan to use the s-pen in my college classes.
im doing it!
someone will buy my GS3 for $400 or so on craigslist. So i'm buying the $650 no commitment price and i have $100 gift card at best buy. so itll be $150 to me.. no biggie
I had a att s3 and sold it to buy a tmobile note 2 .got it unlocked and started using it on att the note 2 is so bad ass. I loved it.i recommended .

is there any disadvantage to not having the att model or are they alike in every way? I preordered my phone off contract from att. i suppose if the tmobile version is the same i could skip the wait..
Any of you guys having regrets now that the nexus 4 was announced. I'm still in love with the not but the debate is still stuck in my head lol.

I've got the same debate going on in my head and it's compounded by my sons (both CompE grads) urging me to get the Nexus 4. I've been enamored with the Note, since the original came out. I'll get the N2 on the 9th and use it for 3-4 days. I'll know at that time, whether it's the right one for me. If not, I'll return it and get the Nexus.
didnt they leave LTE off the nexus 4? That's a dealbreaker for me

Yes. That drove me back to Note 2. Fortunately I kept my pre-order.
I like the N4 and stock Android, but I don't want to live another 2 years with HSPA+.

Where did you get the unlock code?
I sell phones. I play with both and own a note 2. It's a personal thing, but if you are a power user, which I think you are because you are on XDA then you will LOVE the Note II. Once you use it you can't go back.
* The screen is so much better and brighter than SG3.
* jellybean and 1.6GHz Quad Core processor makes everything buttery smooth
* watching youtube videos are stunning in HD
* extra large screen is great for gaming! especally on emulators.
* Using it as a E-Reader for my Kindle App Books work superbly well as the screen is the size of a small paperback book page

LG brand, no external storage, smaller screen with no LTE. NO WAY DO I REGRET my decision.

And no removeable battery or micro sd card slot. Now thats just crazy google. This note 2 should be a monster. It includes all of the above and then some. The at&t version does have rgb led notifications right? I havent seen any videos showing it. And I definitely want to use light flow.
Yeah it's the same as the international

yes it does. lightflow was a bit strange for the s3..i hope its ok for note 2/nexus 4 which i'm getting both.
Hello folks
I am proud owner of note 2 and been enjoying it for a while now. It has replaced my laptop to a great extent and i now only use imy laptop for stuff that needs extensive typing.
I have been tempted to by a tablet for long time now but i am not sure if I need one coz of note 2.
What is your guys take on it?
How many of us here have both and use both.
Cheers!!

Why? Why would you possibly need a tablet if you have a phablet. As for extensive typing try using a blue tooth keyboard for it.

Hi guys,
I have Galaxy Note 2 and i like it and all. Don't think it's too big either, i like the size, i like the phone in general.. but..
I am pretty much broke and want to sell it off, I never really use the S-pen anyway either. Can you guys suggest another phone for me? I had an galaxy S2, and i really like that one too! Or should I go for something else?
Hope i posted in the correct forum

Not sure if you can wait. If so maybe wait a bit to see what is coming . Gs4 is around the corner and the xperia phobe are nolice as well.
At the moment, for the larger screen the droid dna is probably the best option. Then there is always nexus 4

The s2 or nexus 4. Should be similar in price for good condition.

s2 is the cheapest choice it goes around 130 eu secondhand of course
Perhaps a controversial suggestion in these forums; but how about a Nokia Lumia 620? It does a much better job of being a phone than my Note 2. I use my Note 2 basically as my laptop...I wouldn't consider using it as my phone though given its size, price & complexity.
I also find that some of the core apps on the Lumia have no equal in the Android sphere (Nokia Drive works completely offline; Nokia Music is completely free - and you can store about 12 hours worth of offline music).
If only Android were a little more user friendly...

Get a nexus 4.. performance wise with cheap price...trust me you wont regret

I vote for the Nexus 4. You're getting a great processor, and a guaranteed updates for a while. dollar for dollar / euro for euro, it can't be beat. If I were on a budget, I'd consider that... for 3 seconds... and buy it. But make sure you get a case! Some people who have dropped it have complained of shattering it. But I don't doubt that wouldn't happen with the Note 2 or any other device.
NEXUS 4 #FTW (that's cheaper than 400 bucks)
For cheap nothings better than nexus 4.
If you can afford or for everyone else buy xperia z or wait for s4

Can anyone help me out here?
I am looking at getting a Galaxy S2 for my little bro with T-mobile. He is not really big on apps and doesn't care much about Specs really. Just something that has reasonably good call quality, he can text on and download apps on when needed.
It is either this Galaxy S2(which is like 2 years old) or the new Galaxy S Light that is a midrange T-mobile phone that just came out.
IS this still a good buy? It's currently going for free on T-mobile so i was just curious.
Are there any glaring issues with the Galaxy S2?

Wrong forum buddy this needs to be in question&answer forum also this is a question you can answer yourself based on how much money you wanna spend etc.my opinion would be the s2 of course even though phone is 2 years old and is still so popular should tell you something ..
