Yay!
I am first.
Hopefully will call this forum section home soon.

A Moto X, but not sure if I want this or the new HTC yet...
EDIT: Forgot to throw in, depends which one gets a GPE edition as well. For now, its looking like the HTC so long as the bootloader is unlockable...

Same here although based on the thousand of leaks for the M8 I still prefer the S5.

True! If there is a developer edition or GPE edition of the S5, I think I will get it over the HTC.

Not sure, I won't know if I do until I try it out. Luckily there is a Best Buy with the Samsung experience thing <5 minutes from my work (Elkridge, MD). It does look nicer though from what I have seen.

I might be coming from the S3. It looks like a major improvement from S3 for me. The Note series are a little too big for my hobbit hands.

Help me decide. Galaxy Note or Galaxy S3?

Getting a new AT&T phone on Tuesday and can't seem to pick between the Galaxy Note or the Galaxy S3. I know the specs for each and will be replacing the stock firmware with AOSP, so I'm pretty indifferent about stock software features. Tell me about your experiences with these phones and what you would recommend.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Have you played with both phones in the store. All things considered i would get the not because you can't do anything on an S3 that can't be done from your note, but there are a lot of things the not can do that the S3 can't

I've played with a bunch of GS3s, never got to play with a GNote. I've always loved the look and specs of them, though. I hear the GNote 2 is going to be announced soon, so I might just hold out for that.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I'm actually getting the gs3 in addition to the note I already have! My wife will take one and I will take one. Havent decided which but with Google sync I think we will switch back and forth because they're both great devices. I don't use the touchwiz spen apps at all Cuz I'm on aokp and will be on the gs3 so aside from the slight screen difference I really dunno what the diff would be

I am a iPHONE lover... NEVER thought I would be saying this but I just got the Note 2 weeks ago and I'm loving this more than my iPhone...the Rom i'm using is AOKP JellyBean, I'M LOVING IT!!! Go for the NOTE...oh...i couldn't go 5.5 screen...5.3 is perfect

:silly: funny that every time a new size comes out we like its perfect. I can remember when 4 inches was the hotspot and 4.5 was too big, then 4.5 was perfect and 4 was too small. now 5.3 vs 5.5 lol. One thing everyone can agree on tho is iphone 3.whatever is way too SMALL.
I don't know how people get around playing with that tiny iphone, it's like tryng to eat a meal with a kid's toy tea set.
OP go with the note and we'll help you root it, overclock it, and flash a smooth as silk rom... You'll be saying SG... what?

LMFAO hahaha that's great. I'm afraid you guys are right.. but to further speculate, it looks like a miniature Samsung TV.

It looks like a mix of the Galaxy Note 10.1 and the Tab 10.1. The Exynos 5512 (I think that's what it's called) processor is amazing. It's the same processor found in the new Chromebook.
i hope its in the $400 range so i can sell my ipad 2 and contribute towards the proceeds.

That's what I said about Samsung and seeing their iteration of the Nexus (all plastic). Pretty much came to terms with ****ty build quality now (I've been skipping out on all Nexus' since the N1, so can't really wait any longer heh)... I'll give LG a chance. They most likely stepped their game up if Google is considering them for their next flagship device.

Meant in terms of software (didn't they have plenty of driver problems?), can't really comment on its build quality as I've never even seen an Optimus in person. Like I said though, I'm pretty much used to 100% plastic devices with fake metal looking bezels now...
Lol, i was kinda in the market to buy a Cube U30GT, but after this... meh will probably end up with the nexus 10 Price will tell...

The hardware in LG phones is second to no one.. However their software if behind the rest of the pack. Imo.. also I had an lg phone before and when you flashed new software on it you were unable to roll back to previous versions of android or u will brick your phone. I Apparently this is common with LG.. I am hoping that this phone is as kick ass as its hyped to be but I have my doubts

Just saw this on MobileSyrup, looks like there may be another Samsung Nexus phone in the works called the Nexus 3. According to some pics that were uploaded on Picasa using the Nexus 3 by Samsung. Interesting, but 3.2MP camera? Probably not a finished device yet.

Looks like a moderate bump in specs.
5 inch screen would be the main reason I would not go for it.
Looks cool but I just don't think I'd want a 5 inch screen phone. My roommate has the DNA and its just an awkward transition from something like our 4.7", to the Note 2. If I was to go 5+, might as well just go bigger and get the full advantages.

The Optimus G Pro (E940) is coming to AT&T.. It just never had an official name before.. That is probably why they dropped the outright price to $450.. If they could fit a 5" screen in the same chassis as the regular Optimus G, I could bite.. Don't want to go any bigger though.

We probably won't see 5.0 until this summer. As for the OG, I'll be very annoyed if they don't get Jelly Bean to us by then! Unfortunately, that's been LG's track record so far.

Ditch Note 2 for HTC One?

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?

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.

i can't ditch the Note 2. to date, it's the best android phone/device i've used. it's a great work phone (e.g, i use the S-Pen quite often, sign lots of documents, draw on other documents) and for my usage pattern, battery life is superb. that said, i cannot pass up the HTC One! i'm wondering how well i'll adjust to a slightly smaller screen...
dont do it u going to miss amazing screen amazing battery life removal sdcard and unlock bootloader if you flash a lot of rom

One guy told me that he had gone trough 4 AT&T note7s, and that they were all too "crap" aka faulty.
I used for a week and couldn't handle the lag...I am used to Samsung lag after using S3, Note 4, Note 5 but this lag is terrible. I just feel they rushed the product. Initial release of UX software to Note 5 was smooth...but they screwed it with Note 7...I heard it is only for US carrier versions though. But the battery has been good...

My wife and I both have ATT version and neither have any lag. We both love them. Can't wait to get this exchange over with. Love using it all day the way I want and not worrying about the battery. 18 hours of use with 5 hrs of screen on time and still battery to spare when I go to bed. Using it with gear s2 as well!

My 3rd note was bad, but not as bad as the first 2 were.

No lag for me either. I loaded manually only the apps I needed.

Phone itself: 10/10
Best phone I've ever had. No lag, great battery (though I did have to disable some bloat to get it), and the phone is gorgeous. My only gripe is the autocorrect which works badly IMO.
This whole recall mess: 4/10
It sucks and it's concerning. My phone hardly gets warm while charging, but you never know if or when something bad could happen. I'm not too scared though.
Im glad Samsung voluntarily took the hit and did the recall. It just sucks now that the government has gotten involved and that everyone is scared and that the media is just eating this up. Once the new phones come, I'll get one and be happy for quite some time!
