The whole no emoji in keyboard did it for me. Nothing works
SOON TO BE TWEAKED NOTE 3
Nice. I downloaded and it works great. The compact docked for portrait and the undocked thumb board for landscape. It really works well. Can't wait for the official update. Thanks for the link! :good:
Wow! Over 400 views with 2 comments and 1 Thanks. Not a very good ratio! On another note, there was an update today.

This is amazing! Talk about a great company that responds to users input! The ability to change the size of the keyboard is exactly what the note series needs!

Seems like some good especially the camera additions mixed with some gimmick like the hand scroll feature. Hope to see some of these make it in to the note 2

I am not impressed just yet. I will have to see it in person first. As I have stated before, I am waiting for the Note 3. One good thing about the GS4, is that we note users will get all of the innovations of the GS4 plus more!!!

It's funny I don't think I could ever go back to a smaller screen. I'm definitely waiting for the Galaxy note 3. I really like the s pen.

I would like a note 2 really bad but I may just wait for the note 3. That big screen is the thing that makes me want to sell my S3 right now.

S4 isn't all that great... I would get it if it came with 1tb storage, GTX680, intel i7, 16gb RAM

OT..........
.....................THREAD CLOSED..........
So the Samsung guy paid a visit and brought the AT&T version of the S4 with him...my question is: Is this better than our Note 2? I don't mean internally or as far as screen. It does everything the Note can do and more without need of a stylus AND has Multi-Window, all in a smaller package. Is this the ultimate device in terms of power AND comfort? I, like many, have that nagging obsession of buying everything that comes out...so I will get it. How about you? Would u switch because of the S4's much smaller size?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
The main reason I bought the note was the size. Would never get another phone simple for a smaller size.
So anything below 5.5" is too small? My S3 feels tiny in my hand after using my Note and the fact that everything is smaller on the screen doesn't help either. I wonder how much of a difference it'll be between the Note screen and S4 in everyday use.

I would stay with the note, mostly because I'm used to it now lol. But I would go to the s4 mostly because of 4.2.2 on it
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
Ohh hell no!!! I would never switch to an S4,I'm very happy with this beast of a phone.
Just like the wise man said YOU COULD NEVER STAY UP TO DATE WITH TECHNOLOGY).
EDIT: just an fyi,there is a sticky thread for phone comparisons especially the s4.
sent by NOTE 2 using LIQUIDSMOOTH rom.
I to am still in love with with my note. Even if the S4 is greater than or equal to note 2 I will keep my note. I have actually come to enjoy the stylus and would miss it if it were gone.

Hello everyone its been awhile since I have been on XDA (college,Full Time work etc etc) but just wanted to share my excitement that Monday I will be buying my new Note 2 and just wanted some feedback on how you guys have been enjoying the phone, or not depending on the case. It will be a big jump for me in terms of size(Currently use my Evo 3D) but I have big hands so it might not be a concern hopefully. It was the Galaxy S4 or this one and the specs are nice but the battery life from what I have heard on the Note 2 is a deal breaker for me. Also I hope to bring some roms/themes to this phone like I have done in the past(back in the OG days of Sammy's Epic 4G hah
Welcome aboard and I can almost guarantee you will love this phone ...

Same here. Came from Evo 3d in December. I actually put down my 3d and used a nexus s 4g due to getting so many bad refurbs. Glad to make the jump though.

Coming from the EVO 4g lte, and could not be more pleased. Always a few things that could be improved on, but haven't had this much fun with a phone in a while.

Thank you very much. Of course im going to root it and what not but from what i've heard many people choose to leave it stock simply because of the many features the stock os uses, mainly the s pen features. And that brings me to my first question: Do the S Pen features work in other roms as well as they do stock?, or are things changed?

All tw roms have the same if not better spen functions as stock unrooted/rooted rom. The aosp roms dont use the spen features that tw roms do, but its still usable with apps from playstore.. ie papyrus etc

With or without rooting, Note Buddy (formerly s-pen helper) is a great tool for the s-pen and may solve some issues if go asop

just bought 2 note 2's for 19.99 on amazon and me and the wife are loving them! Wish I could unlike the "sim" to work on GSM networks for a good laugh
So it looks nice and all leather was a nice touch but other than that the features are not really breathtaking. Would it at least have an AR blaster? What about air view that's sick was expecting that on note 3 if it doesn't have it then damn might have to go for the s4 .

l Feel Like that the note 2 can do everything that the note 3 can do far as features of the spen like Box and others can't wait for them to be released in a custom rom

Useless touchwiz gimmicks are precisely that.

i'd like to sell my s4 for another note. i got the sprint note 2 but use my verizon phone more an love the note more than the s4. kinda stuck between deciding on the n3 or get a cheap n2. just waiting to see if the bootloaders are locked or not. i doubt i'll ever update my sprint phone since sprint's pretty useless in the 3 cities i'm usually in.

Some people like the "gimmicks"
I have installed cm on my note 2. Didnt take long before I realized my spen was useless and I had to figure out a new way to take a screenshot. Even on all my sense devices I really enjoy all the stuff worked in to the overlays. I might as well get a nexus if I want aosp

Useless? You're not trying hard enough. Get Note Buddy, CM S Pen Add-on, and Papyrus all off Play for free. Screenshot hardware shortcuts vary depending on the ROM, Vol-Down+Power is a common one otherwise screenshot can be added to the power menu.
Gimmicks are things like eye tracking, hand waving for scrolling etc.There are tons that only add ROM bloat that have little real value. There's a whole dictionaries worth of these included in the 4.2.2 included with s4, and likely all that crap and more included in 4.3. Sadly most all the UI improvements to Android in 4.2 and 4.3 are whitewashed over in TouchWiz.

The note has inferred so you can use your phone as an universal remote control to turn your TV on and off.

I was hoping for a metal frame and body, but wasn't expecting leather. I'm not sure about that part. As for software improvements I feel the Note 2 can handle what the Note 3 has, but we will see.

Uhh...it isn't leather. It is texturized plastic.
Only thing I wanted to see was the flexible screen come into play

The n3 is not revolutionary it's a little upgrade. I have a note 2 and will get the note 3 because I am addicted to technology but the reality it's I am not going to be able to do much more on the new note than the old note.

Actually there are changes - I suggest you check out the off-topic New device/upgrade thread for 2 reasons:
1) This one will be eventually locked as the other is the official.
2) I just left a little nugget there....
Not quite satisfied with stock and since I've used Swype forever on my previous devices, I'm not up to speed on the keyboard front and especially not for super-hires 10.5" tablets. Anyone running any particular ones they're happy with?

Try swiftkey. Its free and has a tablet mode (thumb typing). Swype and the likes don't work for me on a tablet as there's too much real estate to cover.

I use AI on my phone, it is my dd keyboard?. Best prediction capabilities for me. However, its a pay app and you have pay separate for the tab model. Swiftkey is free and has tab mode where it splits the right and left side of the keyboard, bringing them closer to the edge.

Love SwiftKey. You get cursor keys, and, man! Some really great themes! After SwiftKey learns you, it's almost as if it can read your mind.

I use Thumb Keyboard. You can setup text shortcuts and substitutions. It's good for 1 key passwords and infomation like email address, credit card numbers, etc. It makes entering information much easier and faster.
