Who is keeping their galaxy nexus and who is buying the s3 please share. And would galaxy nexus get some of the features that is on s3 ? I wonder if any devs will do it ?

In my opinion the Galaxy Nexus Has better android experience, and at the moment I don't think we need quad-core. you can find some apk of the features of the GS3 , also with the touchwiz (that I don't like)in the forum.
Nah, I love my Nexus.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I love it also but lately I had been having problems with charging it. It doesn't charge sometimes and sometimes it does but it charges if you have the phone off so weird

I haven't decided yet.
pre-ordered the S3. I feel that i'll cycle between both devices and find out which one is better for me nowadays. I find that the camera on the GNex isn't as good I thought it was :/ but then again its still a phone camera sensor. That being said, I'll have both phones for use and cherish each one
If I had the spare money, I'd get the SGS3 too. That way, I'd be able to switch back and forth between the two. Alas, I don't. I'm quite content with my Galaxy Nexus, though.

the prize difference is just to damn high, apart from the S3 being a step back in terms of android 4.0 (hardware keys, no multitasking key, menu key).
i know that they want to keep it consistent with the old galaxy people but HTC managed to do the change at least half way through.
also, the new nexus phone(s) are coming up pretty soon, so why would you give up nexus advantages for a non nexus phone
I won't exchange and give extra to get the s3. I'd get it if I had some extra cash so that I can keep both.
Keep my Nexus. Samsung is starting to fail.

Keeping nexus. S3 is nice but not good enough to replace nexus

The S3 is just another Samsung phone but the nexus is a true Google phone.
no chance I will ever buy another non-true Google Phone....

I came from the S3, and as we all know Tmobile gave us The Avengers for free in HD and SD. I logged into my media hub on my Note 2,but for some reason can only download the movie in SD. When I try to download it in HD I get download fail... Anyone else having this problem?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
A related question. How much longer will the movie be available for download? This might help me decide if I should just buy the Note II now or if I should wait longer for Walmart.
It will always be free for Galaxy S3 owners. I dont know if its free for Note owners.

It was specifically for S III owners as a promo, so would not have expected it to simply work on the N 2. I offloaded the folder with the avenger HD and just for laughs may put it on the Note in the same position to see it it works. Will post if it does.

But a quick phone call to Samsung would tell you, even though it was a S3 promo it should work on any Samsung product now. I called 3 times and was told that all 3 times.

I owned S3 prior and downloaded the movie then. maybe that's why i'm able to download it or "redownload" it.
Just wondering if anyone knows away to make this happen. Have been searching for the past week so figured I would start a thread. Love this feature on my Optimus G and is the main reason I am not using my Note 2 right now. Use it a lot and direct mirroring isn't cutting it for me
Guessing this isn't possible. Would be awesome to have. Really surprised the Note 10.1 doesn't have this either

Its an awesome feature I think. Once connected to the tv. You can direct mirror like on the Note but say you get a text. You can go and answer it while the movie still plays.
I actually use this on trips. My phone is like my dvd player. But right now on the Notes 2 and 10.1. Once movie is playing you cant leave it without having the movie stop and it direct mirror your phone

Folks at Samsung are busy laughing maniacally at all the update questions on the interwebs. Once they are done laughing you will know that they don't really bother unless it helps sell something more - like the Gear. So enjoy your 4.3 for a long time to come. (In my case until Google puts out a usable Nexus 10 2014.)
highly doubt this would happen given the sheer amount of Software optimization Samsung would need to do. Perhaps if we are lucky a custom Rom with 4.4
I would be happy enough if they release a stable update which gets rid of the occasional lags and makes it more fluid. Even if it would be based on 4.3
Sent by my Note 10.1 2014
Well, i read that Galaxy note 3 and another device is getting KitKat update in January, so i am crossing my fingers and hoping that Samsung releases an update for our device too.
No need to cross fingers. I would be surprised if we don't have 4.4 by spring.
Sent from my SM-P600 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Absolutely! Guys, there is one sure thing about Sammy, don't expect any updates until a year later. I purchased the Note2 the same day of release from T-Mobile, a year later I purchased the Note3. I given my Note2 to my wife. A few months later, she gets a update. Now, since my Note 10.1 2014 edition isn't through a carrier, I still wouldn't hold my breath.

I figured it's pretty much a waiting game. I really don't have much trouble anyway other than bt keyboard connectivity ( logitech k810 drops connection with more than 10 seconds inactivity) samsung keyboard is the culprit I'm sure since even with installing swift key and external keyboard helper in order to use qwerty keyboard I get booted back to samsung as defalt. I've changed the bt visibility to never time out and switched off the on screen keyboard with no luck, even tried a different keyboard with the same results. Also it bugs me that the multi window bar and s pen window only allow for select apps. I sent a message to support on Facebook regarding the keyboard issue we'll see what they have to say. I'm trying to decide if I want to root this thing. Thanks for your input!

Thanks much. I believe it could be a h/w issue. I thought it was strange that others were using the same keyboard with mixed results. I'm interested to see what samsung support has to say via Facebook, I contacted them about my perks and they were very helpful so I may end up having to exchange my device.
I dont care about android updates anymore. As the CEO of Samsung said the need a new GUI for their devices. Samsung has the worst menu from all A brands companies. Their laucher sucks big time.

I like TW and the features it provides even though some of them are admittedly on the parlor trick side. I also like some specific features like SamsungLink, KiesAir, and Group Play which depend on TW. LG's mimicking the features of TW and is the only Android manufacturer gaining market share (Sony's flat and HTC who has been slimming down Sense is in a free fall). So no matter what our individual opinions are the masses seem to like "stuff" with their s/w. If someone with a Nexus loads third party apps (some of dubious quality) to replicate the functionality of an overlay they'll end up with the same (or more) background processes and open threads running using as many resources with poorer integration between functions. I'm a productivity user and consider AOSP a barren wasteland both visually and functionally. I don't race my devices for pink slips, I use them (heavily) to get things done. Samsung's s/w helps me do that. So if the price to pay is less fluid transitions so be it. All just my opinion of course; YMMV.

I totally agree with you 100%. And thats why I wrote the above.
Samsung doesn't offer so much in the GUI and although they have top hardware on their products(like the one I have now SM-P605), still they have the TW which apperantly has a lot of issues especially on the smoothness.
Don't get me wrong here. I love their products and I'm a huge fan.

The G-TabPro 10.1 and Note 10.1 2014 Edition are identical except for the latter having 1GB of extra RAM and S Pen. The former will probably be $100-150 less. Which do you think Samsung wants to sell more of and makes better margins on? They could have had any one of the five new devices on the shelves for the holiday selling season. Why do you think they chose the N10.1-14? With all Samsung's 2014 high-end devices running the same h/w and using the same screen resolution Samsung's development burden has been greatly reduced. It would be moronic of them to leave the more expensive and profitable N10.1-14 on older s/w while launching the cheaper and near identical G-TabPro 10.1 on 4.4 with new s/w features.
My guess is that if the new tablets are launching in February we'll start to see 4.4 and Magazine UX rolling out to N10.1-14 no later than mid-February with leaks starting to pop-up in the next three weeks. The media were using all the new tablets with 4.4 and Magazine UX at CES so the s/w's got to be close to done.
I think will be soon. New version note pro 12 have same hardware like note 10.1 installed 4.4 kitkat and new UX. That's mean samsung ready for 4.4 update after introduce new version tablet.

I bought some ebooks with the Samsung credit we got with this device. But I really don't want to read on such a large tablet. Can I access these books on another device? I would rather read on my Nexus 7, but I can't figure out a way to get my books there. I couldn't even find a way to access the on Samsung Note 8 tablet. It doesn't seem reasonable to sell books that can only be read on a single device, so I'm hoping someone here can help me figure out how to access content I purchased on another tablet.

It's probably framework dependant just like a lot of the TouchWiz apps. The note 8.0 should have Samsung hub by default though, assuming you haven't debloated it.

I agree the Note 8 *should* have Samsung Hub, since it is a current generation Samsung device in the same family of tablets, but it doesn't. And it is not even listed as compatible on Samsung page:
http://www.samsung.com/us/samsunghub/
Which is why I'm at a loss why anyone would trust Samsung to buy anything from them if their own tablets aren't even compatible?

Are the books as single files? As in can ou browse for them on your device?
Or is it purchased through an application?
I use a combination of google drive + Moon Reader to achieve some thing similar.
All my books are on the google drive and moon reader + syncs my reading position so I can read on
