Hey guys, I searched for this, but didn't really find an answer. so here it goes...
I am upgrading my phone 9/22, I had a Samsung Infuse 4G, I wanted to get some real world opinions about the Galaxy Note. How well does it work for you? Are you happy with it? Are there any ram issues(not enough?).
I'm trying to decide between the Note and S3, I know the S3 is newer and has more ram, but I'm really leaning toward the Note.
So what say you?

Both are great phones, I'd wait for the note2. You'll be saying that when it comes out

I would also wait for the note 2, if you can hold out that long. If not, with all of the awesome devs here, we have most of the features that the s3 has plus the advantage of the bigger screen. So I would pick the note.

I would also wait for the Note 2 if you can stand it. OG Note is great, but note 2 should be even better.

No worries, and if you decide on a Note or S3, or the Note 2, all have great support and the Communities of user are great and providing, I have been in all those threads, and as you know coming from the Infuse Community that being a great supportive Community, You will have no problem in any of these mentioned Threads/Community. IMHO
Good Luck & Thx....you might see some familiar names in all these threads mentioned above...
I have infuse and note. My co-worker has S3. Note is way better then infuse. But only 1gb ram. S3 has 2gb ram so It works better then note sometimes. Note2 will be the answer.

Okay guys, so far I have a rooted Galaxy S II...
For christmas, I may sell my SGS2 and get a Galaxy Nexus...
Thing is, shall I wait until the SGS3 is out, or go for the Galaxy Nexus now?
What are the pros/cons of getting a GN?
What are the pros/cons of getting an SGS3?
What do you guys think would be better?
Thanks

I simply don't understand why you want to sell your S2. Reason?
I change my phone very often, I like having the new Androids when they came out
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

After watching this video, I guess it would be best to get a Galaxy Nexus ASAP.
Get the Nexus

I have the Skyrocket right now but I want to get the ATT version of the SGS2 because its the same hardware and everything has the international but just different bands, right? I don't like the skyrocket because its big and there is hardly any ROM support. I don't know if the ATT version will get CM9 PR of it even has good from support. So which is better?

This is not a video to show you specs..that you can find anywhere ..however its a video to show you the difference between them and for you to check them out side by side
Enjoy
pretty informative, thanks
GS2 is definitely smoother.
The difference is deeper than performance. the biggest difference here is the timely updates

As someone that had both devices stock and modded with the very same rom I can tell you that this is not accurate.
The galaxy nexus is super smooth and after some issues were ironed down it ran as smooth as silk
Its really hard for me to decide which one is better..but the reason I kept the nexus is because I love the line

Thread moved. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
A mod sent me a pm that I can forward you stating that he already moved it. My apologies

I think i posted before in the wrong section:
HI all, i recently purchased a ATT Note and love it. I have come back to droid after being on the iphone for a while. I fell in love with the screen. I almost sided with the Galaxy SIII due to the performance being so much better but the display model Note was not running ICS. So i got the note, brought it home and got it updated. Its a great phone, i love it. Especially for me being able to remote into my work computer and assist end users in troubleshooting. I am getting close to returning it though and getting the GSIII due to it being just so much faster. Is there a current ROM available that improves performance? There just seems to be so much lag when opening things up and when typing. The GSIII also has a nice screen but is noticeably smaller to me and that was a drawback but the performance is really better to me and things open instantly. Thanks for any input! I apologize for any repost i did a search and did not really see anything, Thanks for any help!
No, no ROMs exist for this phone.

Was it just me, or is there really that much of a performance improvement? It seemed much much faster than the note...
What are all the roms in the development section for the Note? Maybe i am using the wrong terminology...
I am looking for something with great performance and the largest screen i can get right now, so i guess that would be the GSIII, huh?
try the ipad
Lol
The note performs fine but spec-wise the GS3 beats it one way or the other (whether you have the international version or a variant).
To me it sounds as though you updated your note OTA and that's just going to cause you problems.
There are plenty of fantastic ROMs for the note here - whether you want to dabble with GB, ICS or JB.
Start reading.
I suggest you begin with the everything note sticky.

Thanks for some actual help. My last droid was a capitvate. I had to go iPhone for corporate email and such. They are finally supporting touchdown so i am back on droids. I did the update via Kies. I have some basic info now from few people (and you now, so thanks) to get started but my basic question is answered and that is the performance ca be improved so i dont have to switch to the GSIII. Thanks so much!
Performance can be greatly improved. Try flapjaxx uclf6 or hotwires for ics as both provide overclocking. HAve had great success with DaGr8 gingerbread with oc.
I haven't personally tried any of the other dev's roms but have read about them and it doesn't seem like you could lose with any of them. it is just all a matter of what you prefer to have feature wise.

What type of performance increase are you looking for because from personal experience (my brothers GS3) my note was running flappjaxxx's uclf6 rom and my phone was much snappier and responsive ..and the apps we ran side by side..pretty much a toss up on any graphical difference...now if he roots and roms his phone it might be different ...but I gotta work on convincing him(he's terrified of bricking)...good luck hope that helps...

If you must leave the Note, I suggest the One X. The screen on the SIII is pitiful. And, to top it off, I just left the One X for the Note. I can't tell any reall speed difference. The One X is, however, the sleekest and best built of the new "regular phones". I've heard multitasking complaints with the One X, but I never had any issues. By the way, I haven't sold the One X. I'll still be playing with it, too.
I've read a few of these threads and I've owned both the SG3 and the Note and my brother has a OneX. The performance difference is negligible with the right oc kernel, of which there are several to choose from. And the rom support for the note is off the charts. In my opinion your note is just as good as any phone on the market right now.

Oh and manelscout4life, there's no reason to lie to other forum members just because they used to rock an iPhone. Its rude and not what this community is about. It would have been better for all concerned if you had simply moved on to the next thread, and in the future please refrain from intentionally misleading people here regardless of your motivation.

A little searching would have answered his question.
If a camera is VERY important to you, the One X camera beats the other mentioned phones hands down. There really is just no comparison.

That's exactly the example I want to set, that people should search instead of asking questions.
Then i suggest that you take a break from these forums. Its obvious that you are burned out and bitter. It even would have been better if you were to tell the op to search or call his question premature, but you went straight into telling him there were no roms and that he should try the ipad. You're obviously jaded dude.

All the OP had to do was click on the Android Development Section instead of Q & A. There are 100's of ROMs including one that I make. I'm not sure why you're trying to argue about this when you are wrong.

Hi guys,
I sold my S2 because the screen was broken but now I'm thinking about buy another one.
My doubt is, should I buy another SII or instead go for the Gnexus?
SII - > 250€
Galaxy Nexus -> 275€
Both are new phones and I have the chance to buy for a great price.
I know many of you will say "go for Nexus 4" but it isn't coming to Portugal soon and I need a phone ASAP (nexus 4 is out of stock 4 life).
I know pros and cons of both, but they look very similar and my kind of use fits the both.
My question is, with these prices, which phone would you go?
I have s2 but i'm for gnexus, why? because of larger hd screen, opensource everything, ... I buyd s2 because it was cheaper than gnex and have better graphics card oh, also, i don't like gnex because of not having memory card slot
Thanks !
I would like to have more replys!

You're not obligated to answer if you don't have anything to say, that's why you both lost a good time to be shut up
Plus, I was asking to people that might have tried both phones, maybe they could help, like they did (in the other forum), and I'm really happy I chose gnex

Well thread locked. I usually don't like these threads as it leads to, you guessed it flaming. If you ask in device forums obviously your answers will be skewed. You should never buy a device because of "he say she say" specially from a forum. The specs are more than available, the frustrations of the devices are as well.
