Only 3 hour of screen time? Wow...our Note can easily double that.

Yup, that is why I bought an almighty powerful phone because it was meant for long screen time. If I wanted shorter screen time I would of opted for a flip phone.

Umm, flip phones last like a week without a charge...

Was considering getting Nexus4 due to faster updates from Google and stock android but the Note2 has a excellent battery life. So glad I got a note2.

Yep same here. Plus I am pretty sure we will get a nice AOSP rom out soon

From reading various posts, seems people are averaging 7-9 hours average screen time on the note ii. That's phenomenal. Can't figure out why Google out of all folks just can't bring good battery life to their nexus devices.

I still want my Nexus4. I don't even know where it is. But if I ended up with my NoteII I'd still be happy.

If i had to choose 1, I'd take the Note II, but I still kinda want a Nexus 4 for experimental purposes

Galaxy Note 2 is amazing

I'm running 4.1.2 stock ROM and I just bought the phone yesterday. Had an S3 before.
Battery life is absolutely amazing.
Edit: accidently included two of the same pictures.
SIX HOURS AND TEN MINUTES OF SCREEN TIME
ITS AMAZING
OVER SIX HOURS OF SCREEN TIMEEE

Yes enjoy the battery life, it really is that much better than the S3. I too just left the S3 for the N2 and couldn't be happier. Finally I have a fun that truly lasts all day.

I've had it for 9 days now, and I activate power saving mode when I'm not using it heavy (at work, sleeping) it REALLY extends the battery life. I love this phone!

Give reddit news a shot

Very true indeed. This phone gives me the same battery life as my iphone 5 did

Gotta take into account that the i5 uses a small screen and a dual core processor. Its only a 1400mah battery.
The note 2 does so with a 3200mah batt.

Yeah but iphone 5 doesnt have widgets, doesn't update news feeds, has a camera that sucks.... do I need go on. Battery should last without these things. Note 2 is quadcore, 5.5 screen , better camera and battery life is still better then any iphone.

I am looking to sell my s3 for a n2 for this very reason. I'm tired of tweaking kernels and what not just to get 4 hours of screen time. My question is did you guys go to at&t and pay full price or does anyone know where it may be cheaper?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

My wife went to an AT&T store on Saturday and bought a Note II. She insists she had to buy a new one since I hard bricked her Note I the night before (mistakenly flashed a kernel for an international version!) and even though it is already out for jtag service, she could not do without a phone for a week and her upgrade does not come until October- that was her excuse anyway. She has been wanting one, though, since she loved her old one so much and wanted the latest and greatest. The cheapest place we found to buy one new was an ATT company store (where it was $650). The franchise ATT store near our house wanted $200 more. I did find some good deals on Craigslist for $500 but I did not even have a chance - she went right out and bought one that morning.
She got the Note II Saturday and charged it Saturday night. I told her to let it get down to 10% before recharging to fully cycle the battery. Last night (Tuesday night) it was down to 29% and started pinging, so she charged it, even though I exhorted her to let it go at least another day and a half, which it would have easily done, since I would have loved to have seen a battery chart with 4 days and 8 hours of screen time. This is stock unrooted, amazingly. which I tuned as best I could without being rooted, but I don't have any battery-saving features enabled, and always turn off the "re-analyze images to save battery" since I think this uses more battery. I can't imagine how good it would be with CM on it, or even just rooted to remove the bloat and unnecessary processes, but she won't let me flash it for some reason....

I switched from an iphone 5 to the Note II and holy cow the differences are amazing! By far the bet phone i have ever owned!

I usually switch phones every six months to a year but im waiting till the note 3 that's how much I love this phone. Ps its bone stock

Yeah the battery on this phone is awesome.

I've had my Galaxy Note 2 now for about a month and it's taken me a while to get used to it after having iPhones for the last 3 or 4 years. But I must say that this phone is simply awesome. I don't think I could ever go back to iPhones now. Just wish I could set individual text alerts for different contacts like I could with the iPhone.

By text alerts do you mean different ringtones? If so go to contacts tap one then go down to message allerts and you can select the tone you want

Glad to see so many people happy with your Note. I am looking to upgrade my phone and I am pretty sure I am going to go with the Note II.

Biggest mistake of my life.

So yesterday I traded my note for the optimus g. MOD EDIT profanity removedThis phone had so much promise but just fall short on every turn. Some things I was looking forward too.
Better screen
Better processor
Cooler look
Smaller
And I wanted to try something new. I've had Samsung for 3 years now. And I haven't tried anything else.
Where I was wrong:
Screen sucks! Yeah it has more ppi.. but the screen on all videos has this grainy look to it. I understand that the superamoled is high contrast, but it wasn't the colors it was the video itself.
Screen= fail
plus this screen is now to small... I can't believe how perfect 5+ inches. Is.
Processor = alright
It might just be LG software but this phone isn't as quick as I thought I should be. I mean come on this s4 pro kid such a badass... not really I have to give it to Samsung for making everything in house.. I feel like they are the gods for now on mobile devices
All in all the phone isn't want the note is.. plus I hate seeing 53% battery in only 4 hours of using my device instead of 14 or 16. Well sorry just wanted to make sure no one ever leaves this place... until the next big thing comes out. But honestly this phone is the best hands down. .

Dont do the one x+!!! I originally switched from note 2 to the one x+a couple months ago. I returned it in like 5 days. It was so laggy I couldn't believe it. I loved the build quality of it but battery and performance was awful. Only phone I have used with better performance than the note 2 is the iphone 5. Back on note 2 now and living it.

Ive been on iPhone my whole life till now. Ive always had to jailbreak to get all of the features I wanted and with android even with out root it is much more customizable. Plus the iPhone 5 is a piece of garbage do not ever consider switching from this big beautiful powerful phone that we all love.

How was the camera on the Optimus G? I've heard bad results. I love how Rogers says its the fastest phone in Canada which is what everyone is using on their Kijiji adds. Yet they are selling for 400 and under lol.

I've played with both the HOX+ as well as the LG Optimus G. Honestly after having this phone and playing with those others I don't see how you guys were even curious lol. The S4 Pro is a good chip but its not nearly as oower efficient as our Exynos, and while touchwiz isn't the most attractive overlay, it's easily the least resource intensive and most feature filled. I consider myself to be pretty heavy into the mobile scene and I have yet to find an all around better device than the Note 2.

Is the Galaxy Note II still a good buy?

Currently rocking a Nexus 4 on T-Mobile, but for a variety of reasons (quality of T-Mobile service, lack of LTE, battery life, 16GB being too small, etc) am considering switching...As such I've started looking at phones and I'm curious if you think the Note II is still a good buy?

im not going to lie....i was really skeptical about picking it up about 4 weeks ago since it is a pretty old machine now, but omg...it's blazing fast, enough juice to keep a heavy user happy in a slim form...i mean, those guys who are getting the zerolemon battery must really hate touching the charging cable....i listen to music all day long on my BT headset, make several calls, push mail, send about 75-100 texts a day, take about 30-40 pictures, and watch about 30-45 minutes of youtube and have yet to drain this little guy...
sure the Dev community is small, but it is full of quality dev's creating quality roms..i actually like them all and just keep bouncing around!!
4.2.2 aosp roms are running great, but i prefer the TW cam over AOSP....i would wish someone would create an TW based rom with AOSP apps....
regardless of the Note 3, this phone is still a powerful phone that is going to be a contender for awhile....the only thing the note 3 has over this,IMHO, is that new screen....

All true. ...
And as once said. ..
A bird in the hand. ..is worth 2 in the bush...
Grand claims have been made about many things. ..and in the case of this device. .
The claims are true. ...g

I would say yes but dont overlook the optimus g pro.
sent by my NOTE 2 from a ROOTBOX

I am a heavy internet user on my Galaxy Note 2 and I receive about 2 maybe 3 calls a day on top of sending 50 to 60 texts a day. On my heaviest usage day, I get about 1 day on a single charge. But on my lightest usage day I get 3 days. But I have auto sync on everything turned off, GPS is off, outside of using cellular networks, auto-brightness is off with 30% brightness, 15 second screen timeout and S Pen battery saving checked. The only thing auto updating is Contacts and Calendar.

I paid 330 on ebay for brand new with extras... so depends how much you get it for. Development is slow here though.

Absolutely... I always have to have new gadgets, but I bought mine the day it released with AT&T and every time I think I might want a new phone I realize there is nothing out there (yet) that I want more than this one!

I agree...had years and years of iPhones and traded a guy on CL for my iPhone 5. I'm very happy...like everyone says, it's very fast, battery life is great, screen size is great. Running CleanROM SE3.0 on mine with Perseus kernel, and a few AOSP themes and its exaclty how I want it to be. Very, very satisfied with my device.

lol no slow developments found in Sprint & Verizon versions.
We have many more roms to choose from with different bases , ports and tweaks etc ATT development is fair

If I got one, it would be on contract with ATT and I can get one brand new for $100

[Q] Pros and Cons of Note 2

I currently have the S3 and while I do love the phone, I want to change my phone plan (Telus) and the only way to get the new deals is to pay out the S3 and get a new contract. They are selling the Note 2 for $99, the HTC one for $99 and the S3 for $0, so my choices are between these three phones. Since I already have the S3, I think I would like something a bit newer, but if another S3 is in the cards, I won't be hurt too badly.
I am leaning towards the Note 2 as I want a bigger phone and I like the idea of the S-pen.
What do you like about your phone and would you recommend it to others? Don't forget, I am currently using one of the best phones out there, so I have been spoiled for the last year.
Thanks for the info,
Ian

I went from an S3 to the Note 2. One month later..so did my wife. Even though the software is practically the same, the screen size and S pen make it worth the upgrade.

To all of those saying Im biased its my fault for not saying I own the note 2, I thought it was obvious from my signature.

hey
i like the htc one but there are a few things one it has NO sd card so what you have for room is what you have no extra room next is there is no WiFi charging as you can get with the note 2 also with the note 2 you can get a larger battery for more time if you need but you really don't need to
remember the htc one has no removable battery or sd card . smaller screen but you know that but htc one has a great set of speakers also the htc one has better low light camera for pics .. and it is a new er phone ..
be honest if you can wait for 3 months the new note 3 will be out it will have the faster ram CPU and gpu and is only supposed to be going from 5.5 to 5.7 in size

These 2 comments say it all; htc one is cute, small, and nice speaker design, but no storage, no battery change, and htc is in big trouble..
there is absolute NOTHING that any other phone out right now, does as good as or better than the Note 2.
End of story..

Many thanks for all the input. The only thing I am hesitant about going with HTC is I had the SGS before I got the S3 and I am used to the way Samsung does things on the phone.
Is there mush of a noticeable difference between the pentile screen and the non-pentile screen?
It's going to cost me about $100 to pay off my S3 (on a trade-in) and cancel the contract. The Note 2 is $99, but the plan is a lot better. Now I have 'My Fav 10' and 100MB of data for $50/month. The new plan is unlimited Canada wide calling and 3GB of data for $60/month. I almost always go over my 100MB limit, so I am paying an extra $10/month anyway.

But it appears that sales are not doing well....at all...
And once again HTC remains in serious financial trouble...
Stick with the winning team...
The one that allows you to actually look at your battery...or add that fresh 64 GB class 10 Kingston card...
Please don't try to convince us that an inferior device wins out over the most innovative, and best running device on the market today...
That attempt would be...well...embarrassing...g

Amazing how the so called best built device HTC One gets dust under display & gaps in casing,
No SD card , No Removable battery & not so great battery life but hey it looks and feels cool.

Amen brother...
Enjoy that machined aluminum after it gets all scratched up too lol
I'll take my "cheap" plastic that has not been in a case yet doesn't have a single scratch or scuff on it

I don't blame inspiredbyhtc for his input. I would also praise the S3 on a forum if someone asked. I love my phone as he loves his. I have never used the HTC One, so I said I would consider it when I upgrade and he gave his opinion.
But, on the other hand, I guess he had it coming since he is in the Note 2 forum. That's like a Montreal Canadian's fan going to New York and cheering for the Canadians and getting beer poured over him.

I'm very impressed with the note 2. Just switched from the htc one x. Htc phones are not as easy as samsung to root and unlock. Delt with the same things as the one, cant change battery, no ext storage. I'll be sticking with samsung for a long time.
