El Diablo just officially turned on LTE for my part of Ohio. (I've had it on my 900 since day one, with fantastic speeds.) SGS3 feels like a disappointment, it feels like a beefier Nexus. I have one of those bolted to my HDTV.
This guy just really intrigues me. I'm afraid of a refresh though. I hate GB and those damn buttons on the bottom. But. I'm bored. Thoughts?
Get a note?
Should you get a Note? I don't have LTE where I live and more than likely won't until 2090. But there are sooooo many other things I love about my phone.

If you're afraid of a refresh, you'll never buy anything, because the next best thing is always just around the corner. Forget what might be coming (especially if they haven't announced anything about it) and get what you think is going to work for you.
I personally like the buttons, but I can see how some wouldn't. Anyway, they are easy to live with.
Finally ... GB. Haven't run GB in weeks. There's a couple very stable ICS roms out there for the flashing. I wouldn't even bother going back to GB at this point.
Go to the store and try the demo. If you like it, walk out with one. If not, get the one x.

yeah, I thought that was pretty silly too..
I honestly wouldn't, I feel like this phone is way too big and not very practical. There are great ROMs out there and the phone does have some bright points but I would much rather have a Nexus or something similar.
I should say I work out a lot and the Note has not been good for me in those regards, it's just too big to be comfortable. Also I have a lot of signal issues with this phone that have made me less than happy with it.
Just my experience though...
Stock modem is best for signal. If not, yours your service provider.

If you have to ask then your not worthy
If you needs us to answer for you then don't buy a Note. The only thing that is different that won't be on the SG3 is bigger screen and S-pen. So just wait for the SG3.

I "need" food and water to survive, not for you tell me what to do. The point of this thread is to happily listen to the various opinions posted, post my thanks for those posters for sharing valuable time, and decide, in time, what my next purchase is.
And the more I think on your post the more it infuriates the crap out of me. I'm extraordinarily curious as to what makes one "worthy" of a Note? Who appointed you the bestower of "worthiness" to the members of these forums. We were having such a nice discussion before you...
You know? I think it's time for a couple days off from the old XDA. Thanks much to everyone else who took the time to post, I appreciate it. We can close this one off.

Wow, I want some of whatever you are having.
Sure the "need" thing is arguably off-putting. But "worthy"? Did I miss an edit on the post that sent you off?
Eh, bottom line is what are your priorities? Don't think I saw what you were looking for in the original post. For me, I'd still have something with a real qwerty keyboard. I can't type with an iPhone to this date as it is just too small. When the Streak showed up, it was the first device with no physical keyboard I ever could deal with. The Note is the next step. As a bonus, it is the first Android device I ever saw or used that rivaled the ease of use of an iPhone (keyboard notwithstanding). Also the first device I had that weaned many of my iSheep friends away from the dark side. So far, all the converts are happy too. From lauding screen size, to app store choices, to not being annoyed about the speed of the device, they have all been happy.
So, what are you looking for?
As others have alluded to, posting something like this on the Note forum will yield predictably positive responses. Honestly, in this forum its approached i-Fan-like levels of blind following and I was surprised to see someone suggesting you not get it.
Am I happy with mine? Oh, hell yeah. Would I go to anything else? Um, nope. Unless the Note 2 ever shows up, and does something so much better than this thing. I'm currently looking to get a backup one, just in case. Even with as hard as Samsung is pushing this thing, the size isn't for most... I won't hold my breath (despite 5 million sold) that this becomes as popular as the iSheeplephone. I've got 2 Streaks on the shelf for the same reason.... Love the form factor.
I've been thinking about the Note for a while now. I tried to make a Pros/Cons list on whether to buy one or not, and ended up being a draw. Currently I've got a Galaxy Nexus.
I love the HUGE Screen, but it's still very "Samsung-y".
I like the big battery, but just bought an extended battery on my Nexus.
The Camera is really good, but not as quick as the one on my Nexus.
If I buy it, I'll have to extend my contract for 3 years, If I don't, I don't extend my contract.
There seems to be a counterpoint to every point in its favour.
All smart ass comments aside this is the best phone I've ever owned.

I was really up in the air about getting my note, I spent weeks debating it. Eventually I said screw it, I play around on my tiny galaxy S all day long -- the big screen will be so much better, so I got one and the big screen was so much better.
and I lived happily ever after.
At first glance I fell in love with this device. Its sleek, has an amazing screen, beautiful design and very fast. Also has a okay camera (prefer my s3 way more). So whats not to love? Well after 9 days and mixing it up between devices my G now has a dead pixel, shuts off and is sluggish. I have no idea why because the phone has never been dropped or exposed to any kid of water. So needless to say I called AT&T and because I am within my 14 day period they are exchanging it even for a New Titanium Galaxy Note 2. Really wish it worked out, loved the phone. So you can catch me me back in the sammy forums for now, still might get another OG.

In most cases the issues of one does not represent the issues of many. Nevertheless, enjoy your Note II.
Cool story bro. Thanks for letting us know. Have a nice day.
No matter how good of quality a device is known for... there is always a bad batch that comes off the assembly line.
This applies to cars, phones, electronics, any consumer product...
I think that in this case, you are one of the unlucky few who got on one from the crap stack.

In now way am I bashing or downing the OG. I would have gladly accepted another G in return. As a matter of fact I miss having it, I thought it was a great phone. BUT when I called AT&T and they offered a new Titanium Note 2 as the replacement why would I decline it. Especially if it dsent cost me anything. Like saying " I'm sorry sir that your new Honda Accord is a lemon, would you like this new Corvette for the replacement". Who is going to say no. Not only that but I wanted the note 2, havent had one before. And for the smartass who said " look at all his devices" If you had know that a majority of the android phones were bought and donated to the developers of those devices and that I am sorry I can afford to get the new phones when they come out. Get off my nuts bro dont be jeleous.

Definitely not "jeleous" about your English vocabulary.
Have fun in the Samsung forums with your ohsoridiculous amount of money. Hope you find less things to complain about with the Note 2 instead of making pointless posts on their subforum as well.
So they replaced a $100 contract phone with a $300 contract phone? Also, not jealous about the devices you have and have had as well as on your nuts about it, as it was a simple statement, that was a nervous assumption on your own, because you're in a corner defending yourself. I'm having fun feeding you as well, due to you being an obvious troll since you've provided nothing informative by making this topic.

I just sold it, that's it I got tired of waiting for the devs's this phone is top, but will never get support because of LG stupid way of handling advertisements.

Hi All!
Sorry to say that this is the end of a great relationship that my Note 2 and I have had. It's not Samsung's fault and it's not my fault the only people that can be blamed is Verizon themselves. When Verizon released the Android 4.1.2 update a couple of weeks ago the update installed smoothly and restarted the phone which was totally expected. What wasn't expected was for the display not to light up after the phone came back on. After fighting with Verizon support for over an hour on the phone, they sent me a replacement. Well supposedly they run the replacements through a 100+ point check before they send them out to people. Boy have I proved Verizon wrong on that with the phones that I had both the Note 2 and the Samsung Stratosphere(don't get me started on the Stratosphere). Well I get the replacement in the mail don't download the Android update or any apps other than the updates for those that Verizon and Samsung put on the phone. Within 20 minutes time the phone shut itself off 3 different times, and it got so hot that I could not physically bear to touch it. Which says a lot for the temperature because after working for McDonalds as long as I have I almost lost all feeling of heat in my hands so it takes a lot for me to be holding something and say that it's hot. I called Verizon and had them force feed me the bull**** that it had to be something that I downloaded causing this. After fighting with them for another 2 hours I had them sending me another phone and a replacement battery. Well the following Monday comes(2 days after getting the first replacement phone) and FedEx drops off the phone and battery. I open it up and activate the phone and no matter what I did I could not get the phone to connect to any wi-fi network. I spent 2 hours on the phone with Samsung, an hour on the phone with Belkin, and another hour on the phone with my Internet Service Provider all trying to troubleshoot the issue so that when I called Verizon I couldn't have them say that it was my internet service provider, wireless router, or something that Samsung had to help me with. I even went to every Wi-Fi Hotspot within a 15 mile radius of my house and tried connecting there with no luck. Well I call Verizon and fight with them some more and get force fed more lies and they send me out another phone. Well a day later when I get this phone it has the same exact problem of the phone that it replaced with the added issue that the power jack on the phone is so freaking loose that you can take the charger and spin it around in a complete circle. This had me furious at this point. Especially with all the aggravation that is involved when I call Verizon. Every single time I call them I am sexually harassed over the phone. They have it right there in black and white on the computer screens in front of them not to refer to me as a woman when I call, they have my name which is a guy's name and cannot be a girl's name, and the first thing out of my mouth before I even tell them my name is "I am a man, do not refer to me as a woman, and if you do so it will be considered sexual harassment." Well that doesn't stop them from repeatedly in the same conversation with the same person referring to me as a woman. Well after fighting with them some more and being sexually harassed some more and after threatening to take my family's 5 lines and get my extended family to follow suit with all of their lines(about 45 in all) and switch to a different carrier the head of the callcenter in Tampa, FL switched his tune right there and then especially after I told him that the reason he was calling me was because one of his management staff was sexually harassing me I gave him his choices he could either send me a brand new Galaxy Note 2 still in the box free of charge or he could switch it out to a different phone of my choice free of charge that was comparable in my mind. Well I chose the 32 GB model of the iPhone 5. I know it's no Note 2 in many ways, but I have had the iPhone in the past with work both the 3G and the 4 and have had no issues with the phone that weren't caused by something that I did( Dropped the 3G in the toilet). So as much as I loved the Note 2 and love Android I am switching back for the time being to an iOS device. February 4, 2014 I am eligible for my upgrade and by then the Note 3 should be out and I will be back to the Android side of the force. I just wanted to take and say my temporary farewell to Android.
Gunner Out!
Lol at sexual harassment.
Iphone5 comparable to the note2? Why didnt you say the s4? Or even s3? Sorry to hear about your situation. Verizon must be going down hill, cause I've always had good experiences with CSRs.

I never said that the iPhone 5 was comparable hardware, but I have always had good luck with iPhone's and I know plenty of people who have the S3 and they don't like the phone and I won't touch the S4 with a 10 foot pole till it's been out for a few months. Out of 5 of my siblings 4 have the iPhone 5 and my baby sister has the S3 and has had the same trouble with Verizon that I had. The best thing about the iPhone 5 is I don't have to contact Verizon Tech support directly I can go through Apple and my friends who are Geniuses at their stores.

I don't get it? Why wouldn't you touch the s4 for a few months? If you like the Note2 and Android so much, the S4 is the closest thing comparable hardware and software. Personally I think the iphone5 is a downgrade. Yeah, it might cost around the same price but it lacks a lot of features.

Asking someone to refer to you as male or female and the person does not oblidge does not constitute sexual harassment.
Sexual harassment*is*bullying*or*coercion*of a sexual nature, or the unwelcome or inappropriate promise of rewards in exchange for sexual favors.[1]*In most modern legal contexts, sexual harassment is illegal. As defined by the US*EEOC, "It is unlawful to harass a person (an applicant or employee) because of that person’s sex." Harassment can include "sexual harassment" or unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature.

sent from my thumbs...
I work at Wal-Mart in the hardware section but I'm usually called to help out in electronics to run cashier/do communications setup.
So I usually have to pull my phone out to do demonstrations to people who are unfamiliar with android.
I kid you not, every time I whip this thing out I get some kind of reaction. One guy with an iPhone, and I quote him verbatim, said "ok. It's time to switch to android."
Another funny line, two older guys were getting some prepaid refill cards and his friend mentioned to him "it's time we get a bigger phone!"
When the phone first came in the mail
I ran into the nearest phone store to get my service done the guy was astounded by the phone, because he was just reading about it but never saw it in person, gave me a 20$ discount.
Sadly most people think it's a note 2, or ironically Note 3, which isn't even released yet.
Feels good man. I don't even care for any other phone now, all I'm waiting for is the mega 2.
Share your mega stories?
One thing is for sure, Mega won't go unnoticed no matter what []
Same with me, people think it's a Note 2 or nowadays a Note 3. Once you get used to the size you won't like anything smaller. Also waiting for the Mega 2.
Most of the comments I get are negative, but these are from people that simply don't get it, stuck in the late nineties thinking that smaller=better
They don't realise that Phones have changed direction now, its no longer about cramming the required tech into the smallest, lightest package, its now about putting the largest screen possible in a pocketable device, Phones aren't all about the calls anymore, with screen based activity being more important - this is a point that many don't understand.
I have always chosen the larger devices since the Nokia 9000 / XDA days, I was over the moon with the Dell Streak, and then the Note/NoteII, each time the device was touted as a niche product that will never catch on, but now with the Mega, and even mainstream devices pushing 5" more and more people are waking up to the benefits of a large screen.
Does anybody have any idea when the Mega 2 is coming out? I just heard about the Mega like 10 minutes ago, but I see people talking about the 2 already. I had planned on getting the Note 3 next month cause my phone is just about toast. I'll wait if the Mega 2 is coming soon.

See I don't even know how I feel about updates and all that. I'm still using an ICS rom on my Note. I like to try different Roms and all that, but once I find one I like I'm happy. If I could basically get a larger Note 1 I'd be perfectly fine lol. Maybe if it had MultiWindow, but I think I only want that cause i can't have it lol. Thanks for your insight though bro. I'll more than likely get this one. I'm wondering how the AT&T one will perform on T-Mobile since that's who I have.
Does the Mega have LTE connectivity ?
Edit: Yes it does. Missed it on the specs page:

The Samsung Galaxy Mega i9205 is the LTE version and obviously it supports LTE.
But I hear that some frequencies of ATT(1700Mhz?) are not support. Don't know much more on that since I'm in the EU and no LTE here anyway.

AT&T has their own version with LTE and a locked bootloader, so no root yet. It's worth it, though.
Started from the bottom, with a Streak, then the Note, then the Note 2, got this the day after the Note 3 was announced, because I have no faith the 3 is going to be worth it. Might have processor and ram, but I find myself browsing the internet for funny pictures and info rather than trying to play the latest games with 3d graphics and whatnot. Bigger screen = better for me.

And with a screen that size, google maps is gonna make for a superior nav system as compared to smaller screen dedicated Garmins and Tom Toms.

See I don't even know how I feel about updates and all that. I'm still using an ICS rom on my Note. I like to try different Roms and all that, but once I find one I like I'm happy.

Bottom line, it performs brilliantly.
Full 4GLTE on t mob. Check out the other posts I've made and find the screenshot of the data performance 22000mbps+!
Not bad for a "middle" market phone.
I love it.

pa49 There fixed it for you.
That number was confusing me each time I read it.
Most of my friends and work colleagues have joked about my Mega. Sadly, mostly negative as they just didn't really get it (that and I had some horrid tacky case on it so I guess that didn't help). A couple have liked it and my girlfriend is growing to like it too. I did get laughed at by a shop assistant when I had to take a call the other day.
Waiting for the SGH52 headset to come out and that'll be much easier for taking calls.
Another Note 1 to Mega user. I have no regrets with the Mega. As far as people's reactions amazingly I've been able to not draw attention to it yet as I guess I've concealed it well. lol People at work don't have a clue and they probably figure it's still my Note 1.
hey all,
Its actually a sad day for me. My rezound finally totally kicked the bucket and i no long have a deving device. So after some thought, i desided that I will no longer be doing deveolopment for the Rezound. Its been a fun ride while it lasted, but with family, work, and other things going on, my time has been spread very thin. I hope you all continue to enjoy the rezzy and i hope ill run into some of the rezound community on another part of the forums.
If anyone is wondering, I went with the LG G2 and if i ever find some time again to dev, it will be for that device
Thanks everyone for your support, and contributions that made developing the rezound so much fun. Also thanks to all the other dev that help me get started with ROM development
It's sad to see you go. I loved your ROMs very much and I hope you provide your awesome skills to the G2 community. You did very well here and you deserve to rest; Many thanks for everything!

Thanks for all your work on the Rezound... Welcome to the G2 community, it is a fantastic device, I know you'll love it.
Thanks, I love the phone already, so adding a "family" to it will just make it that much better lol

After 2 years I retired my Rezound and purchased a Galaxy S4. I was also able to keep my unlimited data which the possible loss of made me keep the Rezound longer than I wanted to. I started to wait for the Galaxy S5 but I got such a good deal on the S4, which was free at BB after 50.00 gift card I took advantage. The few upgrades in the S5 were not worth spending a couple hundred dollars more.

Retired my Rezound and on the G2 now. This thing is a beast.

The time has come for me as well. My dad wanted to preorder the S5 and Verizon was offering a second phone for free. I was going to try to wait for the G3 but went with the One (M8) now because... free.
My fiance doesn't have a smartphone so she'll be moving to my Rezound. Maybe I'll take her upgrade once the LG comes out.
Same. Just got a nexus 4. It's been real.

Don't miss the device but miss seeing the quirky posts daily from you guys. Since moving to the g2 this turned from hobby to time burner for me.
Retired my Rezound for a shiny new Nexus 5. Also told VZW adios and am using AIO Wireless.

Sad goodbye.
I to will be leaving the trusty Rezound behind tomorrow. I had many roms I liked but the two that stand out the most was Neos Tachyon and Liquidsmooth 2.37. I want to thank everyone for thier hard work, you helped me take steps into the world of Custom Roms. Ive since then Moded a Razor Maxx, a Galaxy S3 and my Transformer TF700T. My wife and I get to trade in for the new Galaxy S5 tomorrow. So with a sad heart I say goodbye and good luck my friends.
May the force be with you. Always.
bye bye rezze

How do you like the G2? I love the front with the beautiful screen and tiny bezels...just wasn't sure how I felt about the buttons on the back...

Every phone should have buttons on the back... Why manufacturers didn't implement this before is beyond me, once you have it a while you will see how natural it feels to have them there. Plus with knock on/off you only use volume buttons, I rarely ever even touch the power button.

Hey, its takes a little getting use to, but overall i love it. I notice for the most part i dont use the buttons on the back. It has the knock on and knock off feature which is implemented really nice. so 95% if the time i use that. The only time i really use the buttons, is when i need to adjust the volumes. Other then that, the phone has been rock solid, fast, great battery life. My only complaint is the speakers are not the best and not super loud, the rezzy smokes it any day, but overall, the best phone ive had in a long time, including the rezzy.

You know, i was real disappointed when the finally released the specs on the s5. Made some small improvement, but not enough to justify the wait or the extra money. Personally I tell people to go with the s4 unless the s5 has a feature that the must have.
Sold my last Rezound yesterday... was a mixed bag of feelings, I loved working with it, everything I learned over the years, and the community, yet I really love my new devices.

What device did you get again? Not sure what I'll be doing. We may jump ship. I can't afford VZW anymore. We have 4 lines on the old 1400 minute plan each of us with $30 data and we're up to nearly $300/month. If we switch to Share Everything, it would be even more. But if we don't, trying to decide between the G2 and the One Max. Why are we such slaves to technology?

My personal phone is a Nexus 4 on Aio Wireless, works great and I save a ton of money every month. If I had to get a phone today it would be the Moto G, my son has one and the battery life is ridiculous, 7 hours screen on time for web browsing and basic use and it out performs the Rezound in all aspects except camera.

Looks like the Moto G is 3G only. I'm considering the Nexus 5 if we go to T-Mobile. Also considering AIO as well. If we can't finance our phones with T-Mobile, then there no reason not to go with an MVNO, right?
