Just in case anyone was looking to purchase another Note. Had to figure they would drop the price. And on a side note they mention that the Note will be getting ICS in June.
Might get my wife one now , here contract is up in July.
Wait so they are saying official ICS in June now?

ICS in June? I'll believe it when I see it. I like my Note but it pisses me off when I purchase a cutting edge phone in February, and here we are in June and still no update, while others are receiving their updates.
I give Apple credit there for being better at updates. Much better. No wonder the values of Android devices do not hold up. 3 months old, already outdated, and available for a lot less than what I paid for it.
Ok..I have vented. Again, I like the Note I have, but the thought of going back to Apple is starting to appeal to me again. I pulled out my old iPhone 4 and fired it up, and started the Etrade App I use every day, and on the iPhone it had a voice command feature which is not on the android app. Whats with that anyway? I thought my Note was ahead of my old IP4, and it appears the app developers still cater to Apple.

Yes if Google made one big mistake, it was not learning from Apple's success. Apple owns its phones and demands control over patches and updates. We are being stymied by ATT not by Samsung. Because of the ATT experience on the Android devices we end up waiting forever for an update. My next phone will be a Google phone rather than a branded phone from ATT, so that I can get around this silly delay. Although it will have to compare well with the Note before they can pry this phone away from me.
I wish the phones in the US were more like the European phone as far as distribution goes, the phones there don't tend to have cell provider branding from what I understand and tend to work across more networks. I wouldn't mind paying more phone a phone every couple of years if our service plans were cheaper and the phones were updated more frequently with new software.

hey guys just wondering if there is any word for sprint sgs 2 and specs as well i hoping for a non keyboard
i haven't heard anything, but there is the mid-end samsung conquer 4g slated around late july. my best bet is the sgs ii would launch in late Q3, no clue on what the specs would be.
I don't think it will be that late verizion has already got a leaked confirmation of sgs2 at least I hope its not that late I have been holding off my upgrade to get that phone I would cry
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
well, considering that its almost Q3 already, with no word from sprint or any of the rumor sites, august/september doesnt seem too far fetched. with the amount of expectations that the sgsii has in the u.s., im sure we'll be notified when specs are in, when it passes fcc, etc. so until then, i'm not gonna expect it within the next couple of months.
There's this:

and this...
http://www.talkandroid.com/42977-more-sprint-rumors-galaxy-s2-release-date/
there is no official release date, and nothing too substantial either.
don't even pay attention to rumors. especially with sprint. the nexus s 4g was rumored to drop early april; it dropped early may, the evo 3d was rumored to drop early june; its now dropping late june...

More often its the carriers we have here (ATT, Verizon, Sprint, TMO), not the suppliers (HTC, Samsung, Motorola). Our guys have some pretty ridiculous testing standards, that usually takes a while to pass. Also, other than ATT, every one of our carriers use a technology spectrum that hardly anyone else in the world uses, so requires even more time. Add on to that how our guys sometimes request physical modifications to differentiate from one another, and you end up with a situation where we get the hot international phone significantly later than everyone else.
Looks like sprint will be releasing the gs2 in about 2-3 weeks. About time! Can't wait.

Ok so I'm sorry to ask this if it's been asked before. Deal is I have the Htc one x but my grace period is almost up. Really like the phone but I miss my Samsung. Thing is when is it supposed to if it does launch for AT&T. If it'll be not intil the late summer early fall then I'll just keep my one x. If it supposed to launch say in June. Then I'll wait for it and return the one x before the 30 days. I'm back to using my iPhone 4 and can't stand it.
AFAIK ATT is GSM so you can just buy one, pop in a sim and you're good to go.
I may be wrong.

Yes, Samsung international phones have typically been compatible with ATT. And as for the AT&T launch, they definitely said june but who knows.
Define defitely first. Then we will be able to answer your questions
Thanks. Guess I'll return the one x and save my upgrade for the gs3. It's odd though if it would be a June release wouldn't AT&T have announced it yet? Don't they usually announce them a few weeks before for preorders and such?
Yes I spelled definitely wrong.
Ya saw that lol. Tried to fix it but couldn't. Going from a 4.7" screen to the iPhones 3.5" it's hard to get back used to typing
If and when att gets the gs3 it will most likely be different in the hardware cause of LTE. It will be the same as the HTC one x has for att. The new s4 chip set.

Yeah not really thinking it'll be anytime soon. I wish I never sold my gs2. I really miss that phone . It's ok. I really like the one x but not as much as I did the gs2. So I think it'll be worth the wait for the gs3. I don't have lte in my area yet. Maybe later this summer. Just don't have the coin to shell out for the international version at the moment.

It seems HTC changed how app associations were handled for the US version of the HTC One X to avoid patent issues with apple ( http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/16/3...lte-custom-android-build-apple-patent-linkify). This caused some issues like the inability to view YouTube videos in the app when clicking on a video link in a browser web page (only open in the browser - boo). Samsung is caught up in patent disputes with Apple too so I wouldn't be surprised to see additional software differences from the international version...

AT&T will rape the SGS3 like they do every good phone, they can keep their LTE and their stupid yellow pages and everything else they might think I would want. And to make things even worse of course they will get rid of the physical center button.
Would something like say squaretrade work on this? Also I'm assuming (since I'm not in a hurry) the prices may drop come a month from now right?

If they did that phone they must plan it for us but mind you Att is the real people that will let it happen so with the note 2 just around the corner who knows..
I would like to think they will update our OG Note. So customers will be happy I'll gladly tell someone to buy a note 2 or note 3 if I know they will keep it current with updates.
I know we just got ICS but the update was not as full featured as our international counterpart.. so that makes me worry a bit.

Sprint doesnt have the Note1 though...
Sure they have the S2 and S3 and the S2 appears to still be getting JB, but Sprint has to tout something that could potentially retain its customers... "Our network sux, but we still have unlimited data, and we dish out updates before the other carriers!"
AT&T on the other hand has the Note 1, but would make more money off of the new phone and new contracts. I am not optimistic that they would get us JB on the Note any time soon, if ever.

There are people, who like me are still underwater as far as the ETF goes (even if they, unlike me, would pay their account off in order to get the next Note). It is in AT&T's interest to offer the update to current, contract locked customers if they are interested in continuing to get their business when their contract is up.

I think everyone on this board is aware of the release date.
Best Buy isn't selling them, that is the demo unit.
AT&T's note was released on the 9th or 11th I forget, but the demo unit was in-store on the 3rd.
It could've been someone just putting out the unit way too early or for BF so people can see it. Hopefully it will be out before that, but so far all signs from VZW have been pointing to no.

Yeah, considering the other carrier Note 2s shipped without the muliti-window feature, I'm guessing those carriers pushed for it to be released early - trying to be the first to get it.
Also, I used to have Alltel and it wasn't that they were late with phones, it was that they never got many good phones at all. Also, there were 2 people in an Alltel store at a time max, often 1. My area is so populated that the main road has 4 lanes each direction so yeah... it was a good 2 hours or easily more waiting since most people were asking about plans and then phones having not done any research first.
It would be nice to have it by Black Friday, but no such luck. A week until ths shipping starts.

I don't know? Since the KR version had this at the beginning and the Eu version didn't. I don't know why this is, but I don't think it is carrier specifc, but rather Samsung. So I wouldn't say it is carrier specific pushing for an early release date - as MW is available now and it isn't like we are getting JB 4.1.2, rather, this is the way it was supposed to go down on all carriers.
However, I do know VZW usually does extensive testing on their products before-hand. Still though, the biggest carrier in the USA shouldn't be getting phones last.

I think people are using the words "ship" interchangeably. For some, the mean get all the devices into Fedex's system and for others it means that the phones are on Fedex's trucks. I have been told by 7 different agents (over the phone) that the devices is supposed to exit the pre-order system on the 25th. Assuming it does so, then I predict the next day (26th) Verizon would be talking to Fedex and generating labels. Then (27th) I would expect the devices to be on the trucks and on the road to the different distribution centers.

I can confirm this as well. When I have talked to reps who seem competent, they say the average ship time is three days from the warehouses to your doorstep. 1 day to get everything on the trucks and 2 days for shipping - makes sense it takes an additional one day for making labels for these/boxing as well. so 4 days seems very reasonable.
What happens if you tell Verizon your s4 is messing up so they send you a refurbished s4 and you don't send your original back and keep both? Will they charge your account? Couldn't someone say they mailed it so it must have gotten lost or stolen in the mail? I'm just wondering out of total curiosity.

I think people are scared of refurbished items because they think they are getting something that is broken. In my opinion the odds of having something wrong with a refurbished product are the same as if not better than one from the factory. They do try to fix the problems and usually go through a more thorough testing process.

Samsung made something along those lines and it never got any real traction. The thing about the iPod touch is that it was successful because of it's coming off of the success of the iPod and when it first released it was an option for people who could not afford an iPhone or were on a different carrier that the iPhone (remember the subsidized iPhone was originally crazy expensive.) The iPod's sales are dropping more and more every day and i think the majority of their sales are for kids that are too young to have a phone. There are a couple of things to consider as well. 1. The age for getting a cell phone is dropping lower and lower. 2. Android tablets can be acquired in the same price range as an iPod touch. I think those 2 things are making the iPod and iPod touch lines rush towards a day when they are no longer produced and it is not really worth it to push a new product in a decaying market segment.
Makes sense. They would have to retail for maybe $125 to$150...not going to get the latest SOC for that...plus there are millions of used phones that can be used this way.

Refurbished phones are a 50/50 shot either the work or don't. I just replaced the same phone(galaxy s relay 4g) for times in a week. Each one had a different problem. Finally after the fourth one being bad they decided to send me a brand new one for replacement. This also happened with a nexus 4 I returned it would not get data at all no matter what, the rep troubleshot it with me and she said I have a rooted phone. I told her I just got it with in a week so they sent me a brand new one to ensure I got a pure stock unaltered device.

While I too want a One over the S4 and have personally had to send at least 3 or 4 different Samsung devices (and I'm talking different products not just different units) in for repair, you will find people who will swear they have had similar issues with having to send in multiple HTC phones. I personally think HTC has better build quality and not just the fact that the One is made out of metal but your mileage may vary.

Since you've already returned one with a defect and now you have another apparent defect, you should be able to return it for a refund. Problem is, the One hasn't been announced on VW yet.
No I called the store and she said since it's past the 14 days I have to go through the 1800 number and they said they will only send me a refurbished one.

Seriously I'm so pissed. I'll probably have to wait til late Sept to sell this piece of crap and buy a one.

I love my s4. My camera also has the wobble. Only if I move my finger around it though. So you're not alone. I've had mine since release. Doesn't bother me because I can't tell unless I'm cleaning the lense. Not worth playing the refurbished game.

Lol nice I knew I couldn't have been. I actually think it's from overly cleaning the lens.. Cuz I did it everyday with a microfiber cloth. I just figured maybe I could get a refurbished model and play around with it for a day or so and see its benchmarks and build quality.

IMO this is the best phone I've ever owned. If you decide to get a htc device good luck on software updates. Their track record is terrible w/ updating.

It's the best phone ever for me too if it wasn't for this camera wobble. I'm probably overexaterating but I'm analysis when it comes to my phones.

Just send it back if you aren't happy with it. They'll give you a new one even if its refurbished. If I was in your shoes I would. I mean you paid alot of money for it, why shouldn't it be perfect?

Personally, I've never had any problems with refurbished items. If you really don't want to go through with it, just slap a case on it. It'll probably hold the camera in place
Here's a video of my camera wobble..
