I have the original Note, and I have 2 extra batteries that I bought for swapping on trips (and they have come in handy!). Do the original batteries fit in the Note II? I know that the Note II has a higher capacity than the original, but I would like to keep my current ones if I can.
They work. You just need to fill the gap left by it's size.

different sizes, it would slide around in the phone. you can try maybe putting something to stop it from moving inside, but theres no gaurantee it wont work. You can buy a spare battery with dock/charger from samsung for $25 using the 50% off coupon code. I just bought a spare (i too have 2 spare batteries for my note 1)
50% off coupon??? What did I miss?
EDIT: Just did a google search and found it! Awesome. http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...f-accessory-coupon-code-samsungs-website.html
Would like opinions, on anyone here that went from the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, to the Note II ? I am looking to switch soon, maybe the Nexus 4, or try something fresh like the Note II.
How was adjusting to the larger size of the Note II, over the Nexus ? Screen technology noticeably better, or just slightly ? Battery life, I assume is better on the Note II vs Nexus ?
Are you overall happy with the Note II, or want a Nexus phone again instead ?
I went from the GN to the S3 to now the Note 2. Even with the extended battery the GN had an on screen time of maybe 2.5-3 hours. The S3 was about 4 hours or so screen time. The Note 2 gets 6-8 hours on screen time. It's amazing the battery life. This is with wifi being used 75% of the time. I had no problem graduating from 4.65" to 4.8" to 5.5". Love the screen. Both the GN and the S3 are pen tile display and the Note 2 is not. It is noticeably better and more vibrant. Go to TMo and wrap your hands around one. You'll leave the store with it and a smile on your face.

i upgraded from my nexus to the note about a week ago...had to get used to the size of the screen but i did...now every other phone looks small and colors look dull...i held my nexus in my hand after not touching it for a couple of days...the phone felt heavy and screen seems so tiny lol
the battery life is definitely better than the nexus and it is definitely noticeable...i must also say, i missed having an SD card slot soooo much...i am using a 16 gb card but am planning on getting a 64 gb so that space will never be an issue...with my nexus i had to constantly monitor what i kept on my phone...it sucked..if you are planning on rooting the note 2 you MUST get a decent sized SD card...some roms run up to about 1 gb and a nandroid backup can range anywhere from 2 gb to 4 gb (depending on apps)
one thing you are going to miss leaving the nexus is development...nexus will always get fast updates and have a ton of roms to choose from
the ONLY thing that i have to really get used to is carrying around such a large device..even if you get used to it, carrying such a large device over a traditional sized phone is always gonna feel different
OG SGS to NOTE 2. Imagine the shock in size and performance lol
Just in a different order, I went from the S3 to the Galaxy Nexus, to the Note 2. While I enjoyed the customizations I found on the Nexus, I don't think I need them anymore. I took about 4-5 hours and set up Go Launcher just right (borrowing a lot from Coldfustion's video on youtube) and now I can't even recognize touchwiz. There's not a single thing I miss, tbh.
I came from the nexus ... screen is alot bigger.
I also miss the some of the camera effects.
I came from the nexus too, and sometimes I find myself missing that phone . Having the option of AOSP is always nice. I really like the Holo theme over the TouchWiz theme. I don't like the colors in TouchWiz that much.
The size takes some getting used to, but once you do it's hard to get back.
What I miss the most though is the bevy of Rom choices, even though I exclusively AOKP.

I'm definitely itching for a new phone. Have the GS3 but considering Note 2 or Nexus 4. Leaning towards Note right now.

There is no comparison really. throwing a 64gb microsd card into this phone ensured this phone as cream of the crop in my book. And then I charged the phone a day and a half later, and forgot about any of the other new phones.
I came from iPhone 4 > Nexus S > Galaxy SII > Galaxy Nexus > a still shipping note II.
Every upgrade has been a happy one, and I really can't wait to get the note II and become a part of this awesome note II community

I came from the GN as well its a great phone but once you get used to the size the Note 2 is on a whole new level. Its pretty amazing I was pretty skeptical at first but I dont put the thing down. Luckily the battery life...well I don't even really think about the battery because it last forever.
Came from Galaxy Nexus (unlocked)
I came from A Nexus Like so many, But dont miss it that much. I thought with not having the latest update I would be worried its not that bad. The size for me is alot better due to having larger hands. Think about the note 2 commerical with the basketball player. Anyway I have not looked back. I even thought about the Nexus 4 but I just love the size of the note 2 . I would recommend finding a case first before buy the phone. It is VERY slippery And you may drop it before leaving the store. Happen to Me and 2 other people. Just my 2 cents.
why i went to the note 2...

I went from a Google Play Store Galaxy Nexus to my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2.
1. Size: the first few days the phone feels crazy big but after you start using it; it starts feeling like a normal phone. def not an easy one handed usable phone but thats ok with me. I notice that any 4.3" phone feels "super tiny".. my co-workers are prob sick of me saying "man, your phone's tiny!".
2. Screen looks just as good if not better than the Gnex imo. then again, i'm not screen expert or that picky. touchscreen responsiveness is excellent.
3. battery life for me is crazy awesome. i get about 20-22hrs on a charge w/these type of settings and apps running:
activesync work email w/PUSH email
gmail
facebook - sync every 3 hours
twitter - sync every 4 hours
google reader - sync every 6 hours
dropbox - autoupload photos on wifi/cell data
yahoo weather widget - update every hour
display timeout after 2mins
auto brightness
auto sync for google apps
GPS, Wifi, BT all one but not always connected to devices.
4. I LOVE MY NOTE 2! would never go back. i've been the type that usually had a android phone and a tablet.. now.. i just have my Note 2 and am very satisified w/the form factor. the S-Pen was a huge factor in my purchase too. i wanted to try replacing my outdated post-it notes w/a digital solution. i had tried to do this previously w/my Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet but it was too big, too slow and just horrible software.
Hope that helps! :highfive:
I have had a few faulty phones Galaxy S3's from o2 (Long story) and as a result they have offered me a Galaxy Note II, But its refurbished
Now they are sending me just the phone and battery and i send them back my faulty S3. So it means im stuck with the S3 charger, So will it fit and work ok ? (Maybe a noob question sorry)
Also it now means I don't have a box or accessories, I always keep my box for phones in case i want to sell after contract, so Im a bit peed off, that i don't have box.
So if anyone has there old box laying around with manual and accessories, I would be interested or if anyone knows where i can get one from
Phone is Titanium Grey, so would need a box for this phone.
The charger from the S3 will work just fine.

Charge will work just fine.
Will take longer to charge than the Note's original one (aprox 3 hrs to a full charge).
It will work, but will take significantly longer to charge, now than twice the time.
Try and get an original note 2 charger, the charging time saved is worth it.

I charge only at night because my battery life is so fantastic. So I don't really care if it takes 3 or 5 hours to charge. I use the original Note 2 charger by my bed.
I use my OLD Galaxy S2 charger sometimes when I just want to top off a little before I go to work or I have a long night ahead or for whatever the reason. But most micro usb chargers will work just fine. The only difference is charging time.
Cheers guys, I might go into O2 and tell them i want a new charger then. Cant see why I should have to pay out when phone was faulty.
Anyone know about getting a note 2 box ? or anyone willing to sell me theirs ?
Its interesting and unacceptable. If they accept to change with note 2 they Need to provide full box. Coz its not your fault.
But at least a profitable swap

Basically they are telling me, they are doing me a favour. They have given me the option to swap to the Note 2 due to 2 phones being faulty. Touchwiz stopped working on 1st phone and wouldnt respond, then 2nd phone they sent out, kept freezing and screen was going all weird.
They say they can only send me a refurbished unit, this comes with just battery and no charger or box. They said charger will work from S3 model.
I explained how i like to keep everything for phone, so i can sell it on after contract. But they just said, I would get same amount for phone regardless of if it had box or not lol.
Might go into store today and see what they say, hopefully they might be able to help me out, But if anyone on here wishes to sell me there old grey note 2 box please contact me
The note 2 Congress with a 2amp charger While s3 with a 1amp charger. I would ask them to get u a note 2 2 amp charger.

This sounds rather odd to me. Here in the Netherlands many stolen phones are sold, just the phone, without original charger or headphones. A box often functions as a proof of purchase. So I would not sell you mine.
You can get the original charger from eBay.

How is it odd ? have you checked ebay and seen note boxes for sale? there are a few but no note 2 boxes. Also there are loads of Samsung galaxy S3 boxes on ebay, and i dare say i will put my old box on ebay too, minus any info about IME number.
If on contract box is not proof of purchase, even if you have insurance with O2 they only ever send you a replacement phone and battery (refurbished not new)
$100 only. Sir.
+1..iam also ready to sell for 100 $...
Why do you need a box. ..we all pay full price in India here. .no subsidies. ..we have no problem needing the box. .. original bill recipient is enough for warranty issues

Hi folks,
I am in desperate need of a battery case that I can put the size of the SII battery into. I recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy Camera which takes the same battery as my Galaxy SII mobile. I've bought a couple of spare batteries as the camera is pretty hungry with power but need a way to safely store the batteries when out and about until needed.
I am contemplating buying a case made for the ipod nano 3rd generation as the batteries as roughly the same size but I would prefer a better solution if anyone has any ideas :good:
what about a wallet case that would work

I have gone for one of these today so just waiting to see if it can hopefully be used for what I am looking for
Cheers for the feedback :good:
i think that is a good choice the back of it seems to be able to store about 2 or 3 batteries
Hope so mate...just waiting on delivery and then time to put it to the test
I was wondering if someone had replaced the note 7 battery with the s8 one and if the connectors were the same or do you have to solder on the note 7 connector like with the s7 battery. Also would the s8 battery fit in the note 7. I am looking for a no soldering solution as my soldering iron broke and my note 7 battery died which will refuse to turn on even when plugged in. If you know where to buy a replcement note fe battery that will help me as well. thanks in the future to all those who contribute to helping me.
Edit
Bought a Note 7 battery off ebay but then power and volume stopped working. They let me return it still and got a note 8 with a new installment plan, to have the same success show them the Note 7 recall page on the sprint website even if they keep trying to refer you to samsung. I got the $100 off as well so it is worth it in my opinion note 8 is sick, only thing I hate is youtube keeps cropping to fit not a lot of videos have stretch and no xposed yet.
Tried battery and it's wider unfortunately so I can say for certain that won't fit. Also the lead is different shape so even if battery did fit it would need soldering.
