I had my first Android experience a few yrs ago with the Galaxy S2. I enjoyed the ability to change virtually anything visual on the screen but the notifications for emails, calls, texts, etc. was absolute garbage. Kies was pathetic. That, coupled with badge counts for new emails never working correctly, moved me to go with the iPhone. After using the iPhone 5, 5s and now the 6s I am rather bored with Apple.
Currently I am looking at the S9 and have heard amazing things about this phone. Since my last Android experience was the S2 – how improved is the S9? Are my biggest beefs with the previous phone put to rest?
After the S2 I vowed to never get a Samsung again. I loved the S2 but I got burned. Anyway the S6 came along and I was pleasantly surprised! They took all the design flaws and pretty much eradicated them.
Put it this way, if id not noticed an improvement between my two phones I'm sure I would have noticed the S9. I'm certain that's even a big leap over my S6!
I'm almost certain I'll return to Samsung next year.

Have you guys heard of Ubuntu for phones? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpWHJDLsqTU
I gotta say it looks amazing in my opinion, I really like the clean, crisp interface, the edge sliding is a pretty good innovation as it keeps the phone very clean and no icons actually need to be on the screen, I actually now look at my phone and really want it to do that too! plus it was nice of them to demonstrate the whole thing on a g-nex
Waiting for a working rom! (early 2014 as it seems)
Meanwhile I'm going to try and copy their design to my phone lol :laugh::laugh:

Ok ok.. sorry.. I just got really exited there for a moment..
Hi gentlemen, I was strolling along the streets of hongkong apiu street when the sale's man in the zopo shop introduce me a brand new s4 clone, GT-MS4. I had no idea what brand it is but I was told it is a Taiwanese brand.
I was totally blew away.. it look exactly like the galaxy s4.
Did anyone know much about this monster?
the salesman was selling normally at hkd3100 and lowered till hkd2600.
I couldnt find much info on this gt ms4, can someone shed some light on this, whether it has custom tomorrow etc? I got to fly back in 2 days time, so i have 2 days to consider to buy this

This may be a stupid question - I am new to the Note world.
Will the Note 8.0 be receiving the stock software updates that have been shown for the Note 3? I see a lot of cool s-pen functions and advanced pen integration that I would like to have.
I am not sure of Samsungs track record with rolling back new software to "older" devices.

Most likely when we get the 4.3 update. Although there is a small chance that the apk will work on our device once the Note 3 is released.
we hope so
Definitely hoping so as well. I have the Note 2 and the Note 8.0 right now, and I love the interoperability. I am hoping they bring the 8.0 along with the Note 3's new S-Note and S-Pen functions. They are awesome upgrades in software and usability that will make a big difference for me, especially the deep integration with Evernote (finally!).
I believe we will see all this stuff in one of custom roms.
btw. what exactly new brings n3?
(this scould be our wissh list for devs)
5100
I think it will update on Note 8. But when?
Yesteday, thanks a Arsaw, I get to port SNote3 to Note8 with stock 4.2.2 but the size of screen does not adjust. Not work fine.

Still waiting Samsung.
I have been reading all the Note 7 reviews, and now have come to the conclusion that the display on the Note 7 is worse than of the Note 5, Note 4 and S7 phones, in terms of colour accuracy I mean! I mean why the heck Samsung had to do that? Or I am the only one missing something here? The temp is over 7000K, DeltaE Avg. is now more than twice than of the Note 5, and three times than on the S7 ! One of the main reasons I (and many others I am sure) use a Samsung is because of the colour accurate display! Now if they take that, and it seems like deliberately then what's the freaking point? I was thinking about getting the phone, now I am torn! I still don't get it though!

You didn't copy the full link, thus it is broken. Here's the link:

I have always used galaxy devices on Cinema mode, I am now on Adaptive mode.
The sole point of this topic was about colour accuracy! Those who use Adaptive mode and stuffs use the most saturated settings anyway, you should only care if you use the Basic mode! Of course its the best display, that is all things considered, lower power draw, maximum and minimum brightness level etc., but look the colour accuracy part, even on the DisplayMate review it has gone to Very Good from Note 5's Excellent!
Hey all,
I'm liking my Note 7 fine, but I'm not LOVING it, and it comes down to one thing for me: the screen just isn't as vibrant as past phones (Note 5 and S7). It seems that Samsung has dulled it a bit, the colors don't "pop" in that over-saturated way they used to. Playing with the screen modes it seems the Adaptive mode is the most vibrant but even there it's noticeably duller to my eyes. It's by no means a deal-breaker, but it's my one "complaint" at the moment.
Interestingly, activating the video enhancer works wonders - when watching a video! Which is nice... but I want that thing on ALL THE TIME! I actually mentioned this to a Samsung rep in the store the other day and his answer was "well, nobody's complaining about it". Well, nobody BUT ME I guess. And I totally get that some people never liked how artificial the colors used to look on Samsung devices, and it's why the screen modes were always a great thing. I could turn on the mode that made the colors pop while others could leave it off. I just wish I could do that with this phone, but I can't.
I know there's no setting for activating that video enhancer across the board but I'm just throwing it out here in case there's a hack or app or something I'm not aware of... and if not, maybe get some enterprising dev thinking about it For me, it's taking a nearly flawless device and bringing it down just a hair. Not drastically, but a little.
