Poll: Combine Galaxy Note 2 forums

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

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
...

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.

Go ask in the right place. There's been a huge flood of question threads in the general section lately, and it needs to stop. This is a developers forum, not a babysitting forum.
Use the appropriate places for your questions.

Sorry GOD but its not an question its not an answer its an OBSERVATION .. if the mods feel its in the wrong section they will move it.. I find your comment of babysitting offensive. Instead of your snide remarks of negativity perhaps you can change and become a positive member of the forum instead of jumping on your band wagon

No one can answer this but you. If you are unsure then I would advise you not to do it. Educate yourself on the pros and cons and determine if it will hold any value for you.

The way you phrased your post sounded like you were asking of you should root or not. And I think this is kind of a silly question to ask on a dev forum when the answer is so obvious. I believe that rooting is the only way to bring out the full potential. Even better is the development of custom roms.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747

It's a must for me.

Well as personal experience I would say ROOOT!!, but only if you feel confident enough arround the system that you wont screw it up

Don't root. You will get pregnant and die

As mentioned, do some research and decide what you need to do with your phone. Do you want features not available with stock? An Engineer at Qualcomm just stated at XDAevCon 2013 yesterday that a custom ROM can be one of the best ways to increase battery life, however ERD Jcase stated that it opens security risks so he chooses not to root. The choice is yours. But read, read, read before you decide.

I will never own an Android phone that is stock. Once I took the plunge back with my Inspire 4G, I couldn't run stock. It would drive me crazy. Too many features and Roms to try.

Talking about risk, theres no risk if u follow and read the steps very carefully, although there are largely benefits of rooting, on battery, resources, space, and ofcourse using some rooted apps like root call blocker, titanium backup, greenify, and many more.....

Please use search. This has discussed so many times it is not even funny. If you have to ask here on a developer forum then don't even bother considering the idea.

Your question was already answered here on your very on posting. If that is not enough information for you please type that question on Google or yahoo and pick and choose from the results. There are so many articles, blogs, and forums on this that you should not need to ask what the benefits are.

You have to understand that they are trying to clean up these forums from the many and many useless questions and posts that have been asked and answered many times for years; What are the benefits of rooting being one of them, which actually takes longer to type in using a simple google search, than to find the answer.
They feel here that these types of posts only crowd the forums, and only get in the way of people's searches for more useful information.

1. this is old news, they got the S4 Camera App ported quite awhile ago...
2. did you even watch the video yourself? one of the requirements is that we need to be on TouchWiz Android 4.2.1, which we clearly don't have...

Stop with these useless camera threads. You guys are acting like the s4 camera is top notch, just get a regular camera if you like taking pictures.

Camera threads are not useless for some of us. For myself, camera & music are the two things I look at first & foremost when looking at a rom, so they are important to me, and to others I bet. I'm also always looking for ways to better the cameras I have installed, or other tweaks & mods for pictures and music.
So camera threads are not useless. At least, not to me.

We might get an official kitkat update. Samsung released a list with all the devices that are getting the kitkat update, and all tab 3 are getting it. The thing is it has been a few months since said list was released.

It will be released when it is released. Ask Samsung as they are the ones who have the answer.
Please read the sticky before posting again:
"NOTICE: If You did not create the ROM, KERNEL, FIX, MOD, APP, HACK, GUIDE, or if it's not a SOURCE CODE then it should go to Galaxy Tab General as it doesn't belong in Development.
If your thread can be phrased as a question, it DEFINITELY doesn't belong in Development either"

This has been asked and answered so many times. Nobody knows. Samsung said yes but I'm not getting my hopes up.
