Is it just me, or do you guys find yourself checking out other carrier galaxy note 2 forums here on xda. Honestly I find it annoying jumping back and forth between the tmobile, verizon, att and sprint forums.I know there are subtle differences between the variants software wise but is it honestly enough to create 4 different forums? Alot of the tips and tricks, problems and questions being ask in these forums are very useful and relevant to other carrier galaxy note 2's. I just wanted to get poll and see if everyone else kinda feels the same way. If so, maybe we can get xda to consolidate...

That would be something the developer in the development section would point out. The same could be said of people downloading the internationals versions of roms on US devices or vice versa. When i had my g2 there were plenty of roms that were out for the US device that could not be used on the international (z) device. We still however had a combined forum since in most cases the devices were exactly the same. Same courtesy should be extended to this device.
I too think it's better to have different forums for different carriers even though the phone itself are very similar. It make it easier for people to find out updates that is through the carriers only or roms
Merge at least the i317(M) and T889 (potentially also N7105) General/Q&A subforums.
Having these two separate makes almost no sense.
No. It would turn these forums into the never ending
Help lost my imei no signal
Forums
Separate please.
Keep it as it is. The adventurous can take a trip to the other forums.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
Can you believe that there are 7 separate forums for Note2 in XDA? I find myself typing "note" into the "Find Your Device..." field very often to see what models are available, and I actually sometimes visit AT&T sections. I don't bather visiting others because it's too cumbersome.
I think it is more like we should change the hierarchy of the forums; move (combine) all Note2 forums under the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" forum which is already there, but keep each variant (different models) into different sub-forums. We would have a separate dev sub-forum for each carrier plus a general dev sub-forum to cover universal matters, but a combined themes sub-forum, etc.
Samsung Galaxy Note II
General ​Development-Works on all models
Development-AT&T specific
Development-Sprint specific
...
Themes&Apps
Accessories​

This makes it easy to navigate without too much clatter. We can also check the activity levels (i.e. post counts) of other Note's on one page.
Would be sweet if we had the choice to merge/collapse subforums of our own choosing for our own viewing pleasure. I know I'd merge the AT&T and T-Mo forums, so I'd view those as one for myself whereas someone else could view them separately.
XDA 3.0?
I say no.

No I don't check the other forums.

We need to combine the General, Questions and Apps section, not the rest.
Leave it seperate. But I can agree to last post. Lol

Keep it as it is. There are enough posts here to keep me busy, I never have to go to forums for our carriers to look for information.

Same here, why in the world do we have separate forums for these topics. They are basically the same phones. I myself find myself going back and forth between these forums, very annoying and also a good loss of creative potential by splitting folks up. Please merge them.

Merge them, put GSM dev, CDMA dev, then if you really want within those have the carrier sub-forums. The sub-forums would be for things like modems. Accessories forum is already shared, if they collapsed all LTE note 2 sections to one device it would make life easier and devs would not need to have 3 or more threads for multi-carrier ROMs.

Now that I think about it, I'm not 100% sure if there is a different one for n7105.
Best to double and triple check before installing to make sure Haha.
I once made the mistake of glancing over the op and messed up my old x10 lol.
And yeah with all the various sub sections it does get confusing

The phone is different. If you flash the rom for the wrong phone you will have a $500 paperweight.

The other one is for the international version of the GS3. This one is for the ATT/Rogers/Bell version which has slightly different hardware like LTE, dual core vs quad core, etc. It's just a variant. But there are some differences in the ROMs. So only use the ones from this forum to ensure you don't soft or hard brick your device.

Thank goodness he asked the question, many of people have those 500 dollar paperweights because they just didn't ask. lol
had to ask...thanks guys :thumbup:

I've wondered this myself. I THINK it is that the regular development is stock based and the original development is non-stock. I'm really not 100% on that, though.

This post should answer your question with plenty of detail.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2112240
I am trying to decide between the Note and the Tab 3 8.
I know all the spec differences between the two. I always root and run custom roms on my devices and I was wondering if the roms available for the Note 8 support the s-pen.
Any info will be greatly appreciated!

I've tried to create a thread on this too, but it got removed fast. I guess it's better to clog every single thread with questions regarding S-pen functionality...

Are you talking about this thread

We don't remove threads, only spam ones, we only move them to the right section and General is not a place to open threads about questions.
Oh, and thread moved.

Note 8.0 has more than just an S-pen. Just all around better device. That is why it costs more than the Tab 3 8.0.
