In two days you will say "I will never buy a smaller phone than this ever again!" Trust me.
Note II is the best phone I have ever had.
You will either love it or hate it, to me its a boon, coming from a dell streak, its actually smaller but with a bigger screen, even in its Otterbox Defender its actually slimmer.
Just one question please. If I install a prerooted rom via Odin , how do i backup the data, like photos? Should I have a external card and put everything there ?

This is the best phone first you should root and install cwm to install other roms, you could install sammy roms or aosp roms whic doesnt include all the s pen and sammy apps, good luck
Is there a volume wake mod for stock roms ? I mean wake up the device by pressing the volume buttons.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
the first think that you should do is check that it doesn't have SDS affected chip.
I agree with the fact that when you have used it for 2 or 3 days you'll never buy a smaller phone!

I also came from a Nexus and didn't feel that the phone was too big. The Nexus isn't a small phone.
But if you try using a smaller phone, like an iphone, it feels like using a watch...
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
yeah i had a gnex too.
it is not so much big. (i think 5.5" will be the normal size in the future like 5" today)
But be carefull,once you get a bigger phone,you cant never use a smaller one. lol

The Note 2 has a different resololution, so i guess not. But you could try it, it may be stretched a bit though if it should work. Make a CWM backup first to be safe.

Yes off course, my bad. I meant to say screensize.
I dont think screen size matters if the resolutions are the same. Things are going to be at the same place relative to other elements. Heck GS3 profiles for the six axis controller, dependant on resolution works perfectly fine on the Note 2.
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.

The gnex has a 1.4ghz processor.

Note 2 is far better then nexus 4.

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.

The N4's glass back will give you heaps of worries
If I had fully working gnex perhaps I would wait until n5 or maybe go for s4 or HTC one. But since it died and I didn't had unlimited funds I went for n4...and I am really happy, I would never downgrade. It's blazing fast, screen is awesome. Even voice quality (in call) seems higher. Of course it has its flaws, but which device hasn't? Wifi and data signal are as weak as on gnexus. Yeah glass back but that's what cases are for. Maybe it's not a huge upgrade in terms if camera (still very average) but it is a noticeable difference overall . For me N4 feels like Gnex on steroids. Exactly what I was looking for and I don't need much more.

Hey man. I recommend you keep your current phone and wait for the next Nexus. The N4 has a problem registering touches and can be frustrating. A lot of owners will deny it, but if you have someone else try it out they will notice.

If you want to buy a device which really makes a difference and shows even more ambition in supporting custom roms, have a look at the oppo find 5.

If you can stand the GN, keep it. If you can't, get the N4.

the screen was small, the camera sucked, the speaker was soooo low which was probably the worst part. lack of multiwindow was killing me and i missed my spen. AOSP is just too boring IMO.
also the front camera was a POS as well.
the only nice thing on the hardware side was the screen and the snapdragon 800 chip
