I got them around the same time, and I believe that I'll be returning the iPad to Best Buy tomorrow. The Note has pretty much made the iPad unecessary. I didn't think it would fill the void of a tablet, but it definitely has.
Anyone else put their tablets to rest after getting the Note?
I actually got my ipad as a gift of my girlfriend, and hardly use it the note wins hands down,I can do whatever I want, watch movies in mkv,flac support,add music without itunes etc.etc
Hardly use it

I think once i get an extended battery i will say the same. Right now the battery life on the Note just isn't close to a Tablet. If I get that Mugen 5400 I think I will quickly forget about the Tablet ;-)

I solved this with the Samsung charger/battery combo. It's great to be able to swap batteries.
To me, tablets are giant phones that don't make calls. So with the Note, I get near small tablet size while being able to still use it as a phone. I love it. I agree with the OP, I don't need a tablet with the Note.
Not exactly the same but for me I refused to get a tablet, I just don't like the form factor of having a large slate. I knew something smaller and more manageable would come out and the gnote is it.

Last month, I decided to buy a handgun instead of the new iPad. No regrets since I did have the iPad 2 and it was collecting dust.

I have a Xoom too and do not use it nearly as much as I used to. The Note pretty much does everything I need, probably won't sell the Xoom though.

Same here man! My iPad is work issue. Yet I find myself using it far less than the Note. The fun factor on the Note is infinitely higher.

I rarely use my tablet anymore.
Note > iPad
I sold my ipad last week to get some money back for other gadgets. I do miss it a bit like using it lounging on the couch. You can just see more of a web page as i dont use my laptop much anymore. I think i really just miss those 99 cent ios games that me and the little one used to comlete for high scores in like Rat on a skateboard and Rat On A Snow board that the play store does not have. But i agree having both is a bit redundant. Not that i game much on my phone anyway, i mainly due that on Xbox. But i must say i did find myself playing games more than normal while i had my iPad. Perhaps i was just bored lol. It's those dinky little games that seem to get you hooked! Especially the ones where you compete for high scores!

I never actually purchased a tablet for myself, since I always viewed them as nothing more than expensive 'toys'.
I only borrowed various ones from family and friends, ranging from ipad to transfer to galaxy tabs. Since I figured I would barely use a tablet that I purchased, I figured what's the point of getting 1 then.
But analysts recently have been saying that the avg tablet price may get 50% cheaper by the end of this year...so if that's really the case, then I may re-consider buying one then.
I use both of them daily, but at home I'm on my ipad2 99% of the time. Between the bigger screen and the battery life, not to mention the games its hard to compare the 2.

Hi!
The question is as simple as the title. I bought an extra when i sent mine in for repair as i did not think it would be covered by warranty. It was however, and I dont really feel like selling one.
What would you do with an extra GSII? I'm thinking either as a game console with the TV and a PS3 controller, og perhaps something to do with home automation
I'd sell it and buy an actual games console.
I'd throw it at you for starting this thread.
use it to call yourself...
I'd buy some tech for it to work with. Like a samsung tv and internet lights and whatnot. Set it all up to work like a futuristic house. Obviously that'd cost a bomb but it would be so cool lol.

I would probably use the spare to start messing with the software and combining features of a few different roms either that or hide it somewhere in the office and call it just to confuse everyone haha

This is my third note. And just like my previous one, a area on the screen (bottom right corner) has formed were the touch is less responsive and it has a different texture. I don't think that this is a residue but rather a burn or maybe something has rubbed off. Again, this is the second time this has happened and in the same exact place. Any help on what I should do would be appreciated.

I'm on my second Note and I've had the same problem on both. The middle-left part of the screen is covered in dead pixels & scratches. I'm honestly not sure how, I've got the iVisor AG screen protector (peice of crap, falls off after a day of distorting your screen) and the Flip Cover so scratching should NOT be happening. I love the phones performance, but damn if it doesn't have hardware issues.
Worst part is ATT has refused to replace it because it still works. If I run a "Premium Bike Shop" and I sell you some rusty POS unicycle that instead of a seat has a rhyno horn sticking straight up I'm going to replace it for what you paid for. I'm not going to say "Well that tires still spin, don't they?"
Magnet
Does your flip cover have a magnetic catch? If so, is the magnet located just about the bad area on the screen?
I baby my phone. Definitely not any fault on my end.

Small claims court is a beautiful thing.
Sue AT&T for the cost of a new phone, the ~$36 filing fee, any lost wages (for time spent both filing and the day you will spend in court) and a small amount extra for your time (the usual standard is to add the amount your income 'lost' for the time you spent in court & filing AGAIN to the total). You could also add a couple of extra hours of your normal working wage for the time you spent preparing the case as well.
In the long run, if you loose, all youve lost is ~$36 and one day worth of wages but if you win, AT&T will be forced to replace the cost of the phone and hopefully be penalized extra in the process.
Oh, and the 'cost of the phone' bit is if you were to buy it OFF contract because you wont be able to buy it ON contract since you already 'have' a contract.
Bring plenty of documentation proving your returns, the reason for the returns and evidence that this is happening to other people. Your AT&T contract probably isnt a bad idea to bring as well.
Ok I'm not going to sue anyone. I still have a one year warranty right? So that should take care of me for now. And if I am lucky maybe they will exchange one right then and there at the store. The thing that bothers me the most is that what if this happens again? Is it some sort of design flaw? Or did I really just get unlucky twice in a row.

I'm talking about a physical issue with the screen. Not a software problem. It would be nice to know if att stores are acknowledging this screen problem. It seems like after a certain period of time something weres off in the lower right corner. BTW the area is about the size of a half dollar except its oval shaped.

Yes this may never work, but currently at the end of my shift at work, and I started thinking what would really show people what's going on behind the scenes with Apple suing HTC and Samsung. And this is the idea that I came up with, with the idea that it probably would never work, but hey its just a thought lol.
We've seen HTC comparing itself to Samsungs GSIII, just trying to compare itself. What if HTC and Samsung did it together with Google as the head supporter of Android, with a headline of something around, "Apple's run scared, attempting to ban these phones from you." Or "Meet the phones that Apple is terrified off..." Something in that sense to stir up curiousity and interest in. And on my mind, YMMV, I picture the OG EVO commercials with the Andrioids flying around the phone and showing it off with quotes from reviews.
But in the end, a for more info go to here, to show the potential customer what is going on since none of Apple's lawsuits are very big in the news unfortunately.
Obviously HTC and Sammy fans don't get along too well, but the Android OEMS seriously need to stick together for some time if they're ever going to have a chance if Apple keeps chipping away at them with court.
Reminder, this is just my personal opinion, but please share what you think of it. Or what you would add / change because I'm curious of this would ever be a true way to really give Apple some SERIOUSLY BAD PR, or if I'm just some nut case, who needs to get a job with daytime hours lol.

I work nights as well and I sometimes wonder if I am crazy bc my ideas make so much sense. I really like your idea. But any revenge on apple right now seems good to me.
Apple will always have their hardcore followers. No matter how much better my EVO LTE is the hardcore apple-ites will say Apple has better blah blah blah. And they will inevitably say "that's the phone that violated all the apple patents!" *snarl/*
Anyways, I like your idea. Don't think it's gonna happen though.
You know the iPhone's use of google maps generates 40% of Google's income? And now that Apple is deciding to make its own map app to replace Google maps as the default in iPhone it seems like an all out break in the companies.
Apple isn't innovating anymore, all they're doing is filing stupid patents and suing. They'll probably win because they are on top and have the $ to pay lawyers where other companies don't.
Sorry about the rant, I usually post on android central. Come here to check out the mods and roms so I don't post much.

I don't know what the percentage is but I bet it's a good amount, much more than 2% but no where near 40%.
"Mobile ads associated with maps and location data account for about a quarter of all mobile ad revenue. That's money Apple wants and Google doesn't want to lose out on."
http://www.businessinsider.com/wsj-apple-will-ditch-google-maps-on-ios-later-this-year-2012-6
It would be a much bigger blow if Apple were to get rid of Google search all together but I do feel the maps thing will put a bit of a dent in Google's bottom line.

I agree, I'm just saying it's going to sting a bit at Google. Hopefully it might help them get on the manufacturers and carriers a bit more to make sure they're selling quality products, I love Android but some of the stuff that gets put out there is absolute crap.
I know this thread has gotten off topic so I say to the OP, that might help if Google were to advertize. They make almost all their money off of ads but don't advertize themselves. The carriers do advertize phones a bit but they're more interested in selling you on their network than a specific phone. Not to mention the fact 3 of the 4 national carriers sell the iPhone so they wouldn't put down one of their own products.
Yeah, just came up with 40% off the top of my head because I was smoking crack.

Lol at least someone understands where I'm coming from. I doubt this will ever work but it was just an idea at the time.
But overall, I feel Google needs to help the OEMs stick together, for some amount of time, just to make it harder for Apple to try to make its dream of shutting Android down. Yes it would be hard, but on their current path, they may get their chance.
I laughed at some of the comments, but I guess the question I was trying to get around to ask,
Do you think google and the OEMs should make commercials with Google as the headliner to tell the world what Apple is suing about? I think if the overall general public knew, besides us tech enthusiasts , maybe people would see Apple for who they really are...
Just my two cents, and go!

This is actually what I've been hoping would happen for quite a while. It's much easier to pick them off one by one than to attack a united front. Unfortunately the all-mighty (dollar, euro, whatever) always wins out. If the manufacturers and Google could put aside their differences and come together and attack Apple, I think Apple would be forced to back down. For the first time in 4 years Android's world-wide usage dropped last quarter. It only dropped about 0.6% (from, I think, 51% to 50.4%) but a drop none the less. Symbian had over 50% of the market 4yrs ago, now it's dead. "Those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it" -Winston Churchill

Just wondering if any of you guys use the app Viggle? For those who don't know what the app does/is, it listens to your TV for roughly 15 seconds when you tell it to, and you confirm the show your are watching. You get 1 point for every minute that you're checked in while the show is still on. Some shows give you bonus points as well, the most common being 50 bonus points, but some shows, though rarely, are worth up to 200 bonus points. There is a What's On section in the app that lists all of the shows worth bonus points for that day. There are also videos you can watch to earn bonus points too. You trade your points for different prizes which you choose from. I always opt for the $25 Best Buy gift card. Pretty awesome to get paid, in a sense, to watch TV!! I've been using this app for roughly 7 months. A few months ago I decided to make other accounts (only need a different email address) and started using Viggle on my other phone and my tablet as well. So far I've gotten 7 $25 Best Buy gift cards! $175 just for watching TV!? Not too shabby!! Lol.
Here's the pic to show you that is totally legit (I was a bit skeptical at first to whether you'd actually be able to get gift cards or not, and knew no one else using the app, nor had I ever even heard of it before, just randomly happened to come across it while browsing the Play Store). I've since gotten my older sister and parents using it too. My parents have already used $50 in Lowes gift cards. Last pic is more of a close up to show the $ amount on the gift card. Though if you zoom in on the others you can also see the $ amount. Just put a Best Buy gift card that I received for Christmas at the bottom, to cover up the barcode and pin number assigned to the last printed card.
I get nothing for anyone signing up, as I obviously didn't post a referral code or anything, just wanted to share the info as I thought others might not have heard of this app before, and find this info useful!! If I could help inform just 1 person with this post, then my job here is done! Take care everyone, and happy Viggling! Lol

Thanks for sharing your experience with Viggle. I signed up for it a few months ago but then forgot. It seemed too good to be true in my opinion so I didn't bother; what's in it for them knowing I'm watching a show?
You mentioned you get a point for every minute you're checked in; how do you prove how long you are watching the show exactly? Do you let your phone listen for the entire duration of the show or do you have to have your phone listen for 15 seconds once per minute?
Here's a few screen shots from within the app. The first if the home/check-in screen. Second is the first page of the What's On section. Third is the first page of the Rewards section.

Once it listens and you confirm that show, you can change the channel, turn off the TV, whatever you wanna do. You get 1 point per minute until that show goes off. You have to be checked in for at least 10 minutes to get the bonus points, for shows that offer bonus points. If there are 4 1-hour long shows between 8-9, I'll check in to 1 every 15 minutes. That way I get the bonus points for each show during that time frame.
Yea, I assumed it was too good to be true in the beginning as well! That's why I posted the photos for proof that it is indeed legit! While I've yet to use any of my Best Buy gift cards, my parents used 2 $25 Lowes gift cards last week, which they earned from Viggle. I've went on to Best Buy's website and entered my gift card info to confirm that they're working, and for the full $25.So it definitely works! They get money from companies advertising within their app, with videos you have the option to watch (for bonus points). They may even sell their statistics to TV networks, showing how many people check-in to what shows. Not sure about the last one, but there are definitely videos from companies advertising.

Well I wish that I DIDN'T have that much time to watch TV! After a bad car wreck though, I'm on Disability for 1.5 years, so I'm trying to make the best of it! Lol. Hopefully I'll be able to drive again soon though, so I won't be sooooooo freaking bored stuck at the house almost every day!

Once it listens and you confirm that show, you can change the channel, turn off the TV, whatever you wanna do. You get 1 point per minute until that show goes off. You have to be checked in for at least 10 minutes to get the bonus points, for shows that offer bonus points. If there are 4 1-hour long shows between 8-9, I'll check in to 1 every 15 minutes. That way I get the bonus points for each show during that time frame.

I have been trying to use this all day. Only force closes on my tablet, but have been running it on my phone. Only problem is is that it is only giving me one point per program despite running it for over 20. I thought at first it was because I started doing something else with my phone, but it happens even within the app. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: Figured out I was checking into the tail end of half hour shows...duh! Developer's response was fast! Haven't tried going into other apps after I check in, though going to try that next.

You can do whatever you want with your phone one you're checked in. I always hit the home button and do something else. You can even power your phone off, didn't matter. Once you're checked in, you'll get 1 point per minute until that show goes off, no matter what your phone is doing.

I appreciate it bro! Actually May 22 will be 1 year ago! Yea, I was hurt pretty bad! They thought I was dead on scene at first, then found a pulse. Jaws of Life to get me out of the car, then life-flighted to the hospital. No one expected me to live through the first night. Woke up from a coma after 8 days, and was expected to have permanent brain damage. I had about a 1 minute long short term memory, and couldn't do ANYTHING for myself! Couldn't feed myself, go to the bathroom, etc. I could talk, very quietly, and my long term memory seemed ok. After 3 weeks in the hospital, everyone was amazed at how fast and well I was recovering. Was then turned down for the rehabilitation center, because I was beginning to feed myself, amongst do other things! No surgeries, and they didn't have to drill a hole in my head to relieve the pressure of all the blood on my brain. 1 week later I was released. Living back with my parents now, after moving out 12 years ago at age 20, lol. Double vision went away after about 6 months. Still no memory of the wreck or hospital stay, even the first few months after being released out are kind of a blur. Getting better though! Almost back to 100%!!!!

Thanks man! Still have my yellow 98 and 06 GT's. Was in my Dad's Cobra that afternoon. I was gonna buy it from him, as it just sat in his garage most of the time. 98 Cobra, 1 owner, only 22k original miles, all original, always sat in a garage under a car cover. Could have ate off of ANY part of that car! Insurance totaled it. Tree at 70mph will cause that I guess. He was gonna sell it to me for cheap, and buy him a new Jeep. Insurance gave him about twice more for it than he wanted me to give him. Bought it back from insurance though! Gonna swap the motor and trans from the Cobra in to my 98 GT.

It also works on shows that have been recorded on my DVR. I very rarely watch live tv anymore. Hate sitting through commercials.
