I have had so much anticipation for it, look at my history and I've had so many androids except I left for iPhone X because it was free from work. This phone is so damn frustrating, nothing works on it properly except the .5 and 2x cameras. I had to do something important today (take a note on the screen with the pen, piece of cake right? Not even close so now the phone is in a parking lot somewhere and I'm in a bar contemplating how I secretly traded my wifes iphone for this piece of garbage while she has been away visiting a sick family member...

She is one lucky woman!
Sounds like you got the dreaded PEBCAK error. It pops up from time to time.
Cool story bro.

Has anyone actually seen any leaks or photos (besides the one on the microsite) of the Samsung Galaxy SII with the "Samsung" logo in front?
I wondered the same thing. Also
the one without it on the front, had it on the back.
Did they remove it from the back, on the one that had it on the front? I never really paid attention to that.
But I think it looks way better without it on the front.
Agreed, it looks much better being all clean in the front.
But again, unnecessarily the same subjected thread is created while this discussion is already going on elsewhere.

I am creating this thread specific for people to post any retail device leaks/shots. It is dedicated only for this so members can come and see it all in one place.
When someone gets their hands on a retail SGS2, we'll hear about it. Don't you worry about that.
Until then, just wait and enjoy the Youtube videos being found from time to time.

I'm sure many of us are looking for proof these "Samsung front logo" devices actually exist. No worries, leaks will definitely turn up before release date. And here is the thread people can post them in.
I really hope the final version won't have the logo on the front.
Maybe they just photoshoped it for promoting reasons on the web? Who knows...
I wonder whether there will be front panels available like there were for the iPhone 4. That would be pretty interesting, although I am sure not many will want to disassemble their device to replace the front panel.
I'm hoping when GelaSkins have the stencil cut out for the SGSII it'll have a part that covers the front, as well as the sides and back, so I can have a nice design of my choosing all over the phone! Samsung logo be damned! (Not really, I don't mind it that much, but GelaSkins look awesome.)
Ehh, most probably Ill just toss invisible shield on it and use a leather pouch with it.
Keeps it safe, and continue to flaunt the device when in use.

they should make an extended version of this ad where the two fish in the tank start making love to the submerged phone fish. R rated but perhaps MTV would take it.

Sammy thinks you should either Take it or Leave it. Some other chap will buy it if you dont.
Thats the power of Marketing, although this device would sell it self with the specs its boasting.
Ok for starters i don't really care if my Prime's GPS works or not or even came with one. I have my smart phone for that. But i understand there are some people out there that are upset because it was shipped with a GPS in the specs and it should work.& not have to put tinfoil or be in some sort of force field or perfect condition to work. I just picked up "another" Prime today, i got the Prime fever lol. Anyway here is two pictures one of me driving at around 45mph and another while i was filling up for gas at a stand still. Both off wifi obviously. I only tested this once so far and it is cloudy and raining today. So i figured this would be a great time to test being its not "sunny and clear" skys Now sorry for the blurry pics its very hard to take a picture with a 5.3" Galaxy Note phone while holding a Prime & hanging onto the wheel lol. Let alone not safe
I dunno if these results are considered good or acceptable compared to other devices. But this is what i got on 1 test run, on a rainy day mind you. That is for the GPS guru's to figure out from my pictures. And in reality i just wanted to have some fun testing.
Also... I am on 9.4.2.14 FW & 9.13 GPS
Here is a picture of me while i was at a stand still filling at the gas station

How come the speed window says 0?
72' accuracy while driving is crap, but at least you had a lock.
Let's not let this thread drift from the fix issue.
I just received my new asus prime today, 30 minutes before heading to airport. Needless to say it is dead, so I'll report back to see of quality conrtrol has improved , on the appropriate thread.

Totally agree. Good luck.
Thanks to draw something, I'm considering getting this phone. Has anyone played it using the s-pen? If so how is it? I imagine it's super accurate to draw things and makes the game all the more fun.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
This phone ownes at this game. I have 20+ games going at any given time because I can drawl so much faster with a big ass screen and s-pen.

D: That's all I have to say...just.... D:
I'm a horrible sketcher, but with the s pen it makes it so much more precise to direct your lines and fill color.
I drew Bowser yesterday and it came out a lot better than I thought it would. I would have done more, but it was telling me I was running out of ink lol.
I've been playing this game using my S-Pen. The stylus is a godsend for this particular app. Unfortunately, the nanosecond delay in inputs makes it so that my drawings look really cheesy. If I draw something, what I draw doesn't appear instantaneously ... there's always a very slight delay, but that delay caused major issues for accuracy. I don't see any solution to this problem.

yea...that's it, that's why my drawlings suck too, the delay is inhibiting my artistic abilities to drawl stick figures.
Those pictures are epic! I'm jealous of people who can draw.
The stylus action isn't quite as good as a full blown Wacom tablet or a tablet PC with Wacom pen like an older LE1600 (which I have), but it's a lot better than an iPad or iPhone with a mushy capaci-touch type stylus. There's some okay accuracy styli on iOS, just not really pressure sensitive.
My understanding is the S-Pen will be better supported with ICS. As it stands, there's a handful of suitable pressure-friendly paint apps already, more soon I should think. Doodledroid and Hello Color Pencil are two good ones.
Of course, the Note display isn't huge, but I did a few decent drawings on my iPhone with just my finger, so this is a lot better by comparison.
I never got around to trying Draw Something until I got the Note, but now I've got a good addiction going.
I'm kind of torn on some of the images. On one hand, they are spectacular - on the other hand wondering how long it takes to make them. I would love to use the Note & this game to improve my drawing skills (of which I have none of), but I don't want to spend an hour doing a drawing either.
I think the part I like the most is seeing how a drawing is done. There is a screen saved I used to love watching called Drawing Hand (google it) where you watch the artist draw the image using just a basic pen tool and a smudge tool. Always wanted to emulate by learning, but I just don't have the art skill.
Hoping DS will improve my drawing skill some. So far, looks like all my friends are about the same stick figure level that I am.
Is there a sight to see some art done by people, preferably with a way to see them draw it? There a way I'm missing to start a drawing, then come back to finish it later?
BTW - they got bought by zynga (sp) for a rumored 200 million today (!)

So I left my precious Galaxy Note on the back on my dads truck, the car that he will only drive 10% of the time, and then today he drives it. I go out to get my phone and realize he took the truck. I was like "OHHHHHHH *swear words*!!!!!!!!!"
I went out and looked for it and found it on the side of the rode face down with the screen protector off. I had a simple flip case on it, but I wasn't able to find that.
I am ultra sad right now, but there is a lot of hope.
A strange thing is that the battery was still in it and the back of the phone had absolutly no scratches on it.
I turned it on and I could hear little startup sounds like the new gmail message one
So I guess that is good, but I still have this broken screen .
So the reason I am posting this is because I want to know if I can get it fixed with a kit or something. I am assuming I have to get the LCD and polarizer because the screen is cracked into little bits as the picture showed, and I can pick out each of those bits pretty much.
So much for gorilla glass
Gorilla glass is not for a phone dropping off a moving car....
Also p.m. me I have a spare backing for the note brand new

wait, you left the phone on the back of his truck.....you say that like its normal like one would put it on their dresser or something. So you normally leave your phone in the garage on a vehicle?
Looks like someone ran over it. too many impact points on the glass from pressure applied, rather than the initial smack on the ground.

What's going on guys?
I need some opinions here...
I do love my Droid DNA. The screen is crisp, I like the camera and I love the form factor.
I honestly don't know how long I can deal with the screen being this big. It kind of hinders the experience for me.
The reasons I am considering returning this (Verizon offers the 14 day window) and getting a GS3 is because I want Cyanogenmod (and prefer the 1 click root method, don't want to risk really damaging my phone messing with ADB) and for the size as shown above.
What do you guys think I should do?

A lot of it is psychological imo. You know its 5 inches, so it feels huge. My Gnex is 4.65 inches and isn't that much smaller. I believe the GS3 is around the same size, if not a bit larger.
Don't mind the mess, I was helping my daughter with her homework.
It looks huge here:

But when you look at it a little differently, not so much.
This one has my gnex on top.
DNA 5 inches GSIII 4.8 inches. Not worth it. .2 inches bigger with great cam quad core and 1080p. Stick with DNA. After getting to used to it doesn't feel that big.
Yea dude if you were to go to the gsiii you would be kicking yourself in the rear ...
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Not much size difference at all...
You should move on. Sure, you'll cry later....
I would like to throw this out there. I messed with my step-daughters GS3 2 days before getting the DNA and I absolutely hated the hardware home button. After using a touch button for years I had to stop and readjust my hand every time I had to push the stupid home button.
Just my 2cents
I agree with everyone that's posted so far. The S3 is barely smaller, and the hardware button is extremely irritating (my girlfriend's mom got one and that stupid button, along with the lack of Sense, was driving me crazy). The screen is also annoying, with the AMOLED part of it messing with the colors and the Pentile part of it creating that criss-cross pattern whenever you look at a white background. Plus the build quality on the DNA is infinitely better.. I've never been a fan of Samsung build quality.
In short, keep the DNA!
Thank you guys for all of these helpful posts and for the pictures! It helps. I am trying to sit tight and wait for a potential Cyanogenmod release. Then I can probably deal with the size.

do you think they will have an AOSP ROM out anytime soon? Or s off? I'm in the same boat as the OP, only not because of the size but because I don't like using ADB. I'm coming from the Droid Razr Maxx and everything was so simple before but this device doesn't suck stock.
