1 year - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

This is my 366th day with my note 2 and I am still more than impressed. Are you still happy with your phablet? Why or why not?

Unfortunately, I'm jumping ship to the s4. Ordered the s4 for free yesterday, I figure I'll sell this for Christmas money while it still has some value.

I am also still very impressed with my note 2 but I think I will be more impressed with the note 3 when I can finally get it

I'm ready for an upgrade but I'm going to wait it out. Nothing else seems like a big enough difference to make me want to leave the note 2. We'll see what next summer has in store, maybe by the time the note 4 rolls out I'll be ready to leave this phone behind.

Rattle when phone vibrates

Been having a horrible day trying to get my phone replaced for having a manufacturer defect and the Verizon store did not want to replace. Many calls to customers service and hopefully tomorrow I can have an exchange ready at one of the corporate stores.

My note 2 did it as well. Mine was from T-Mobile. I think its just the phone. Not a problem per say

Consider Sony Xperia Z as backup?

Just like everyone else here I am absolutely loving my note. Hands down the best phone I've had yet. But I was wondering if anyone is curious about the Xperia Z. Watched a few videos, visited the site and just went through the specs. It might not be all around as great as the note 2, but its going to be a close competitor. With the 13 mp camera I am positive I'll be using my upgrade in October to get one, assuming Verizon offers it.

I've been looking at it to, it's a sweet looking device! The only thing (as usual) is the less than steller battery compared to the Note 2.
I won't be looking for a while. I am extremely happy with the note 2. Last device I will be getting for maybe even two years

Well I will probably still mostly use my note 2, but I have an upgrade in August. Why not at least use it, try the phone, and if I don't like it i will sell and profit.

The only phone I would even consider changing from my note 2 . I absolutely love mine. Would be the note 3.

No not really, its a sweet lookin phone but the Note 2 is a beast. Also I thought it wasn't coming to Verizon? And I'm hoping the Moto X kills every phone when it finally hits, rumored to be sold on the play store with a low non contract price, killer specs and to be the first real Moto/Google phone since Google bought them and unlockable. I believe this will be my next phone.

(Possibly) Coming Soon - Baked ROM

So guys hi for those of you who know me and those of you who don't. Tomorrow I am due to pick up a new phone for an upgrade at Best Buy. The Galaxy Note 3 is by far the biggest and best phone I have seen specs for. Prior to, I was a device maintainer for Team Baked on the Nexus S 4G. I was doing research as to find a device I can assist bringing the Baked Rom to. According to This article, Cyanogenmod will be releasing nightlies for this device and include open source. This in turn opens a door for our team to do what we do to provide this fantastic rom on this device. I look forward to try and serve you guys for the next few years with listening to feedback and see what we can do to ultimately make this the top inverted running machine you can get your hands on. My team's webpage is Here
Look forward to it

The Note 3 is sweet you are going to love it
The baked roms were always sick I'll definitely look forward to having it on the note
Can't wait!!!!!!

I want to apologize ahead of time because I kind of jumped the gun out of excitement. It is really going to depend when I get to best buy what kind of deal they will be giving me for this device, because as far as I know through Sprint, it will be $350 unless Best Buy has this phone on sell. This phone is my 1st pick, of course, but if I don't end up getting it, I will be getting the LG G2 which is on sale with an upgrade for $50 so fingers crossed and I will change the title of this thread to Possible, I apologize once again ahead of time.

Man don't get the g2. I had that device for a month before it came out. And then some. LG is having nothing but problems with that device. The n3 is 10 times better.

I understand that but it all comes down to money in the end, money I don't have at that and getting a new phone compared to the refurbished evo 4g i had a few weeks ago is a lot better. I would really like this phone but I thought the phone would be completely free for upgrading and it unfortunately might not be, regardless, if, when we start development on this rom again, whichever device I get, this device should get our rom even if I am not the maintainer for it.
I got the note 3 from best buy for $150 bucks.. not bad i say
CM11 all the way.
Radioshack has an online price of $300. Just ordered mine yesterday. You have to call the number listed for the price though, they don't list it on the website. Not on the mobile site anyway.

Some of your going to be disappointed but I got the LG G2 the Galaxy Note 3 wasn't on sale the Galaxy Note will eventually get baked but we're taking one step at a time and right now there's issues with the CM 11 nightlies. Galaxy Note 3 is behind on open-source should receive updates within the next couple months

Did you even read that yourself? The problem is not Triband LTE devices, but rather that the Sprint network is not currently upgraded enough in all places that currently have LTE.

Note 3 has no problem getting calls in Phoenix while on lte and the LG G2 and nexus 5 etc have lots of problems . Plus say you are downloading a 1.7 gb rom and get a call on a LG G2 it will fail because it disconnects you from lte to re connect to cdma ... When sprint upgrades all towers to circuit fall back it will still suck to have only one path for data voice etc .... I used LG G2 for a week and gave it to my nephew . I am not saying it's not a good phone but on sprint right now it's not a good phone

I agree with you somewhat on the previous statement but also the download just pause on incoming call and then you could resume it later so it would still pick up where you left off biggest problem I have is trying to get baked fully working because the CM 11 nightlies are not fully there yet and that has to do with the switching of bands so on the cm 11 nightlies you can't make a phone call or send mms on LTE yet

Switching from note 3

Hey fellow members I currently have a note 3 on Verizon... U know spec wise the note is more powerful but my girlfriend recently got a one max and I'm liking what I see.... Anybody here coming from a note 3.. Can tell me.... How's battery life... How's the experience will I miss the slightly newer processor.. Is the radio reception on par or better?... How's Ron development?... I just need feedback so I'll know I'm making a good decision... Thanks guys
I had a Note 3 too and I don't really miss it at all. The battery life is about the same. I have yet to find anything that I can't do on the One Max that I could do on the Note 3. (Subtracting all the S-Pen stuff, of course.) In my personal opinion, radio reception is at the very least on par with. ROM development is growing and you don't have to worry about KNOX blowing out any chance of a warranty. All in all, I'd recommend the move.

Thanks for the feedback Jonathan.. I'm really considering making the trade... The one max looks sweet man

It's actually been proven on YouTube that the one max can load webpages faster then the note.

Same here for me here.
I've got my note 3 since two month now and it's really a great device. But every day I think about switching to the max.
Before the note 3 I got the very first note and now I think it would be nice to have something different.
This spen stuff is not bad but to be honest I don't really need that. Sometimes it's quite useful but I think I can live without that.
I hope that the community will grow in the next weeks.

Then only lacking factor is the camera.

I think i can tolerate it I don't take many pics with my phone and I did a brief comparison with my note cam and my girlfriend's max cam and the note was better in the day time (not mind blowing though) but at night and in dim areas the shots looked more natural with the max... So i think I could deal with the camera downgrade..
