Honestly, one thing I do hate is not being able to hit menu with my right thumb comfortably. Wish they swapped it with the search key.

Yeah, I hate that, as well as the lack of a hardware home button capable of waking the device. I also hate that I can't seem to record both sides of a phone call like I could on the international version. And also that wallpapers are not scrollable. I really like the white version, though, and the screen quality is a little better than my other one. LTE is nice, too. But I digress, this thread is supposed to be about hate.
2 things that actually bother me right now
-How slow it charges
-Google Music's interface is all messed up because it thinks it's a tablet.

I had the Samsung Captivate, Samsung Infuse and now this. All of the samsung phone feels too smooth and yes TOO SLIM to be used without a case. I bought a slim case with some grip on it to solve this problem.
I've had all the galaxys and for this bein a stock Rom the battery has bein absolutly awesome i haven't had to carry my charger with me i traded my international note for this at&t one and i don't regret it one bit

My only issue with my phone is that my keyboard can't keep up with my typing rate thanks to the occasional pauses when touching the screen.
Atleast I can touch the screen for more than 3 seconds without it ignoring all input for another 10 seconds like the atrix.
I have zero issues hitting the home button or typing 1 handed

Well we didnt exactly expect a 1hour charge with this big battery I dont think but I feel a custom rom could remedy this soon.
I really hate the text background color.

Yes you can reassign it though you will have to be rooted for this to work. You can use root explorer go to /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl. Before going into the file make sure you have read write selected. Then click on the file and open in text editor. Simply replace the word "search" with any of the 3 touchkeys name save the file and reboot. I believe rootexplorer automatically makes a backup of the old file though it's as simple as placing the words back to get back to "stock". This is very safe, Ive done it a hundred times on my Captivate, and it should not harm your device in anyway but I'm not responsible if you somehow screw up your device.

Agreed I think I'll make one!
About the only thing I don't like is the scrolling wallpaper issue. I can't get it to work at all.

I hate that my Note's GPS works perfectly.
Now I don't have an excuse to tell my wife why I need to upgrade to the next greatest phone that may be coming out!
Lack of ICS.
Some of you guys are complaining about frivolous things like lack of ICS when you know damn well its coming soon.
My only complaint is the back cover is a ***** to put back on--completely.
My complain is that the s pen is so nice and smooth that it went on the wrong hole, and now my s pen smells like ****

I want to know if I should wait for ICS native screen capturing or but screen shot UX. Give your opinions, I don't want to pay $4 for something I'll get for free pretty soon.

Is $4 going to break the bank?
No,it won't break the bank, I just think it's expensive to get something early but $4. Or I could wait for something better implemented. I just want other people's opinion on what they would do.

If you absolutely need a screen shot app, then it would be worth the $4. I can wait for that feature though.
Do you have root? If you do I remember there being an app in the market that was free and would take screen shots. It's been a while, ...but try searching the market for root screen capture, maybe it could hold you off until the update

Why not get a free screen capture app?? Are you not rooted?

I've tried them all, all but screen shot UX suck. I think I'll just wait. Yes, I do have root.

"Screenshot" by Kastor soft is what I use. From what I can see, it works almost identically to screen ux, except for the photo editing option after you capture a screenshot. But the native ics screen capture doesn't have photo editing abilities either. It has shake, timer, and allows you to save different file formats and invert colors on certain protected images. Not sure what more you could want from a screen capture app

Also check out screenshot ER if you haven't
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Why not just run motofail? Its easy. An idiot could do it. It will not hurt anything and you can download ota root keeper and just tempunroot and accept the update. The reapply and keep root. easier than paying any money or donate to the developer. Life will be simpler. I was going to leave this phone alone even after many many modded phones. Just because you root doesn't mean you need/have to install recovery or rom it. I have stock recovery. A launcher and am fairly content. Just a thought. Root it. Enjoy it.
I am quite happy with Screen Grabber.

I've used Drocap2,Screen Grabber,am trying Screenshot ER right now. I guess I'll try Screen grabber again.
What is SDK Tools dddms.bat?
For screen grabber (needs root), long press Search button is the shortcut key to invoke the app anytime you like.
DDMS is a java program which comes with Android SDK for PC, Mac and GNU/Linux. You need to connect the RAZR with USB cable. No root needed.

If you don't want root, then the 4 USD non-root screen shot utility , is NOT so different than youself going through the ddms tool to take a picture. well it is different, but I personally don't see it is worth 4 bucks.
If you have root, then many stuff are free as suggested by folks above.
Thanks guys, I'll probably use screengrabber until ICS comes out.

so i had an htc hero for 2.5 years, and made the decision to finally upgrade.
this is just my 2 cents so far (quick review)
i like the phone. there are a few things about it that just seem funky though, and i know some of you are working on fixes.
i dislike:
-the on-screen menu button. should be re-mapped to the recent apps button, and long pressing the recent apps button should open up the app switcher. the app switcher itself is annoying. i don't like scrolling through cards. i miss a bunch of icons popping up and me picking which app i was using that way.
-the multi-tasking issues (gr)
Wait upgraded... From.... Hero.... Congrats .. And Idk why everyone wants buttons re mapped I guess some features are used more my some people then myself. I n the multi tasking I'd annoying we all agree with that lol.

i know right? i was used to it and it worked for me. i even develop themes lol. but i used a droid2 to test them on. i liked the hero.
to be honest, i miss the trackball. SO MUCH easier to edit text with. like, seriously.
I think it is great you got much use out of the Hero. I am glad to see that when other people use/try out every new phone that comes out. Not throwing stones but not me. Takes me too long to learn all the ins and outs of a new phone.

I agree, and I was one of those. I spent two days with the new evo from the OG EVO, and I almost forgot about the things that I was so used to. There are so many pluses to ICS. Maybe it's the beautiful screen that distracted me like a swinging pendulum hypnosis, or the FAST camera. Huge step up from EVO 4G. If I was coming from the Hero, I would have jizzed!

Well...... Welcome to the EVO 4g LTE
As for the stuff you dislike, you can flash a rom to get rid of the on screen menu button and make one of the capacitive buttons the menu button. I think you can get an app to make the multitasking look different... I remember something like this when using gingerbread.
I don't have any multitasking issued but I do have a bit of lag when switching tasks or just lag in general.... If that is what you meant.
pkmn rom is the heavy weight champ. unlike most, I like the multitasking button but i hated the three dot menu. The pkmn rom let's u remap buttons with long press options so I have menu set up for long press home and toggle off the three dot menu - it's perfect. You can also change the multitasking to the stock Android look. it's the perfect rom - yall should check it out
where can I find said ROM? I didn't see it in the dev section. I'll google it

My friend just got the s3 and its an awesome phone but I still prefer sense but one feature I liked was the gesture palm swipe for screen shots, you think its possible to port that feature over, its no big deal I just take a lot of screen shots and thought that was the best n quickest method lol

Unless it was very easy I don't see it happening when we have the built in ics screenshot button combo..but I agree out of all the gimmicks on the phone that is one of the cooler ones

Welcome home my friend...to the house of one of the most underrated android superphone
Yeah, its super hard to press power and home. Especially when my hand is asleep. Geez.
I know they can change with the apps which is cool and all but id much rather have the extra real estate that comes with capacitive ones. Plus, if an app freezes with onscreen buttons then you have no choice but to reboot the phone

Honestly, 6 in one, half dozen in the other.
My tablet has the soft keys and I really don't notice the difference as far as performance.
I think on some of the other device's where you see them all the time it can take away from the look, but on this phone they disappear so nicely when not in use I actually prefer them to the soft keys

This. At least if you have hardware buttons, you also have the option for the on screen buttons. Not true the other way around. Plus, the way ours disappear so nicely like they aren't even there.
I think this thread really puts the real estate issue in perspective:

Look at how much more visible screen we have yet the LGOG and Nexus are the same basic size. I will take capacitive buttons over hardware and on screen buttons.
I won't buy a phone without some form of hardware buttons. Just don't like the on screen deal. Yes it's neat but when I buy a 4.7 inch screen that's what I want
