Not sure why Verizon doesn't include earbuds, so I picked some up for cheap on eBay. They come with the Note 2 in Asia at the very least. The are white and have a cool volume control built in. They are nice!
The controls also have another button that when you push it will open some sort of Google voice search. For a test I said "cowboys". You can see the results in the attached screenshot. It will also say the results out loud, e.g. "The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Washington Redskins...".
My question is this: how do I activate this search without having the earbuds plugged in? Thanks.

The one that opens up from the mic button is a direct link to Google Search which opens up waiting for your voice input. Same program, different locations

That is what came with my note2. They actually sound decent especially if position them properly the bass comes alive. I would be happy if I paid $20 for those. I would be miserable if I paid any money for beats. Beats are OK if you like bass, but honestly they just ruin music in general. There are plenty of good ear and headphones that will play all the way across the music scale for less than $100.

Bc vzw doesnt care about what the customers want. It saved them a buck or two on each phone by leaving them out. They left out the wireless charging capabilities as well and lock us with bloat. And don't allow Google wallet and try to force isis on us. And let's not forget the locked bootloader. Thanks vzw.

Just wondering if anyone knows what will come in the box with our AT&T Galaxy Note LTE I assume it will come with a wall charger, manual, AT&T promo ads, and the s-pen but what about ear buds, car charger, or covers?
Really doubt it will come with car charger or covers. I'm assuming the standard wall charger/ USB cable, ear buds, manuals, sim card.

I came from a GNex as well. With Beans and Nova launcher, this phone feels like a larger version of the Nexus on steroids! :good:
Gotta love these threads that have no depth to them.
I came from the Epic 4G Touch and that phone was a huge brick. This thing is huge and I love it, but not so big that it's a pain to use. Everytime my wife hands me her iPhone 5 to talk to her mom I feel like I am going to drop that little thing.

Congrats! This phone exceeds my expectations I had for it. You know you don't have to root to get more apps in Multiview right? You can just mod the apk/installer of the apps you want it there and install them.

Hello,
I really like the Note 2, I've gone back to it two times already, once from a Iphone 5, and the 2nd from a Lumia 920. The lumia 920 was great for photos, but the windows UI was extremely boring. I hardly use the S-pen as well, I just like the big screen. But I do have a small wifi problem with my note 2 right now, in which a new replacement is coming in soon. Any Note 2 users out there planning to ditch and get the HTC One?

I'm not an addict I just flash a lot.
Over the past year I have carried every major new phone in AT&Ts lineup and this is the first one I have been truly excited about. I haven't been able to put it down. The Note 2 was significantly better than the Note, but can't hold up the jock strap of the One. Screen size is the only this the Note has going for it, the screen resolution on the One is ridiculous and more than makes up for the size.
Quality over size. And yes, that is what she said.

dont do it u going to miss amazing screen amazing battery life removal sdcard and unlock bootloader if you flash a lot of rom

The box contents are printed on the box,in small print,of,course,as this isn't something T-Mobile is going to crow about in bold print front & center, & the earbuds aren't listed.
Not a biggie,but,I can understand why most are surprised to not find a pair,as most unboxing vids I've seen show a pair.

They gave you new phones for exchanges? They've been sending my family refurbished ones for years, which ticks my mom off all the time, as it's only a matter of time before another issue comes up with the phone and it had to be replaced again. I think her gs2 has been replaced 6 times in as many months. Not sure why she's stuck on Samsung, after every Samsung phone she has had was awful for her... But I digress, lol

Once I switched to the Note 2, it wasn't even close.

My friend just recently switched from the 4s. He has been am iPhone fanboy, even though he claims he wasn't a fanboy, ever since he got his first iPod and iPhone. He just got sick and tired of Apples little walled in garden with the iPhone even when jailbroken. He saw my Note 2, played with it for a couple weeks and then made the switch. He is absolutely in love with hos Note 2 and says there is no way in hell he will EVER go back to an iPhone!
The only thing he dislikes is there is no way to sync his iTunes music, playlists, pictures, and videos. He was using Kies but since he flashed Vanilla Rootbox, which he has been on since the 3rd day he had his phone, he cant find any app for syncing his music tjat works with a USB cord.

There are certainly more (and a lot of times better) accessories for an iDevice; play music thru the media cable, earphone/headphone buttons auto detect the device, more choices when it comes to cases etc
