if only note came with glossy back - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

this is how I make my galaxy S stand up, by using a stand that sucks to the glossy back. This is much better than stand cases because when you don't need it you can take it off so it does not add extra weight or thickness and it's portable and light.
Since the Note does not come with a glossy back like other galaxy phones, I can not use this sucking stand.
Is there an effective way to make the note stand up without adding weight, thickness or reducing portability?

Good point. In that case I think you have to sacrifice thinness a bit and get a kickstand case.

Ultimate fail. Use tv out and/or watch on bigger LCD.
Zapped through server hops to XDA forums

just get a glossy back from ebay, it's not only removable to watch your battery....

The white galaxy note comes with glossy back

I wish someone would release a battery back cover with a kickstand, that looks exactly the same on the stock one, I'd buy that in a second.

How you feel about Galaxy Note's size

Hi, I got my Note today and it feels very big in my hands, I'm coming from T-Mobile GS2.
Did you guys get conferable after a while with the size?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I have pretty large hands, and the note feels perfect in them. Everything else just feels too small now.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
I love it, and the size is perfect. It fits my shirt and pant pockets. The only issue is that my thumb doesn't quite reach the other side of the screen at times... gets sore haha.
Yes! Stick with it. I also have a skyrocket which is the same size as your phone. The more you use the GNote, the more you will get used to its size. Give it a few weeks. Everything else else will feel small after that time!
Came from HTC HD2 4.3"
Love this 5.3" Galaxy Note.
Comfortable with it and real good as a phone & mini Tablet.
Its feel GOOOOOODDDDDDD!!!!!!!

My hands are probably smaller than average and so it felt a bit big in my hands at first. Within a few days I'd gotten totally used to it, and holding my HD2 then felt very strange!
Pockets were fine from day one.
Hang in there and it'll be fine
Surprisingly comfortable using the big sized note. I think the size has been exagerated a little

This screen eats all the screens. I got the Galaxy nexus last week and I didn't like it. The screen was yellow and narrow. So I sold it.
This NOTE has the best screen period! For now.

This is one of the nicest pentile displays. I miss the clean LCD looks of the SAMOLED+ display, but the viewing angle of the Note display is amazing! I was afraid it would get greenish or purple at extreme angles.
Overall, this is a great balance between phone and tablet. I intend to turn this thing into a little computer.
Eagerly waiting for CM7 or CM9.

In what way does the phone feel unusual/bad in your hands as a cellphone?
Dialing numbers? Just curious.
I got used to the size almost immediately - but then again, I'm not really a one handed phone user. If you are, the new 'one handed dialpad/keyboard' in the recent firmwares might be useful.

it didn't feel weird when i first bought it (2 weeks ago) but it was different. now everything else feels smaller, i own an ipod so after using my phone and then when i go to my ipod to play games it feels super small. only sad thing about the phone is the keyboard is f'ing annoying, i tried tumblring on my phone and like a million mistakes whereas my ipod doesn't make such mistakes but the screen is too small to post long posts so i finally changed the keyboard to smart keyboard which i think is the best
Any still using original Samsung keyboard????
Like the rest here, everything else feels small after using the Note! With it's HD screen and slim design, it blows everything away.
It's a lot easier than carrying an iPad around everywhere.
People say to me its massive, I honestly don't notice anymore. Its perfect. You soon forget.. I do remember the first time I held it. I thought omg!! Huge! Lol..

I read someone else say that when you get used to the size that you can't do without it. He was right. The phone is huge. After a couple of weeks its no big deal. But the advantages of the big screen becomes normal and you couldn't do without it.
So give it a couple of weeks and see how you go. If its no good then maybe the soon to be released 4.6" Sony Xperia Ion with narrower 16:9 screen will suit better. Or Galaxy Nexus if you can live without SDHC expansion.

I remember when I upgraded my HTC Desire S to SGSII that it fell so big and I had a hand ache for a week. The same happened with Note - it takes week to get used to it but after that (as for others), everything else looks small and Note seems like normal phone to me.
But there's one thing - gel transparent S cover (mine is red). I had it on my SGS2 ans I bought it for note also, because those phone are so thick and light and yet so Smith, that it feels uncomfortable to hold them - I always feel that they sooner or later slip and fall from my hand.
The S cover has rough sides, so it feels better and it prevent the phone from sliding on the table also. Another thing is, that it has little edges over the display (it's 1mm thicker thanbthe phone, so if you put your phone on the table display down, it sits on the rubber edge ans not the display itself.
Try it for yourself

About that replaceable plastic (Sammy) vs unibody (HTC) thing...

First of all I have to say, the Samsung Galaxy S3 looks veeeery good to me.
You want to know why?
1. Unique design, more curvy which definately will give you a better feeling when holding the phone in your hand. Just look at your palm, is it completely flat? I don't think so. Therefore it's easier to hold a curvy S3 in your hand compared to an angular shaped S2. I really think the S3 looks better and gives you more comfort just by seeing the way it's designed.
2. Plastic, it's very sturdy and therefore less damage can happen when it's dropped e.g. to the floor. Drop an iPhone/HTC and get ready to call the service line.
3. Weight, plastic is the way to go if you want a thin and light phone. Some people here sound as if they would like a flipping phone made out of solid osmium (heaviest of all metals)
4. Replaceable components, seriously guys, UNIBODY MY ASS, I want to be able to replace the battery without having to send it to Samsung and wait for the service to fix it. On top of that Unibody doesn't allow you to buy a bigger battery for your phone (though I think the stock 2100 mAh already is good!)
And no SD Card slot like the HTC One X? LOL.
5. Sorry for my english
Those being just some arguments which definately make reasonable why Sammy doesn't choose as same path as HTC/Apple.
Fair points, but I'm still disappointed they went the high gloss route. IMO, if it was matt plastic it would be far more appealing.

It's the same reason why people that own german cars think they have a better quality material eventhough it's the same plastic used in other brands just in different texture
i find it amusing that people think samsung doesnt use metal. the screen is bonded to a cast frame presumably aluminum but maybe magnesium on all the phones i have repaired. remove the battery and scrape the black area underneath with a sharp metal object if you dont believe me. the plastic they use is not only tough and fracture resistant but it's pretty much superficial.
now im sure htc has improved their designs but the evo was toy like in construction. thin cheap plastics and the pcb was a thin single layer design and the copper traces could easily seperate from the board. also the one i repaired had cold solder joints and the spring contacts they used in place or cables were falling off the board.
samsung does things that are frustrating from a development point of view but i never agreed with the quality argument.
well i'm looking forward to the s3 for the audio mostly. but i want to see what challenges the hardware offers aosp development. though i like touch wiz i dont expect samsung to support the device for more than 1 or 2 major updates. i have learned my lesson and will only buy the us version if it is the same hardware profile as the international version. and ill only buy an s3 if the bt and other hardware are aosp friendly.

People were looking in disgust when I used extended batteries in my past phones which made them looked bigger - since then, I had never bought any extended batteries - if I need juice, I take my 2nd stock battery with me.

Q - Whats better than a Gnote?

I'm feeling it too, especially when I see girls with Note in the street and transport. It seems a lot bigger than mine...

I've got XL hands, so when I see girls/guys-with-girly-hands use it... I'm like man that's humongous. Mine never looks large, but it feels large with the TPU case on which I only have for the kickstand.
If Samsung shaved the bezels, made it thinner and added a kickstand... I'd be right at home. And if they trimmed it down a 0.1 inch, then I could do acrobatics on one hand ; )

Because people are all about looks/aesthetics these days, that's why.... either way I wrap my baby up in a case, so ven if I had an M8 you wouldn't be able to see the "premium, beautiful metal build". FYI I prefer the plastic, doesn't dent or scratch nearly as easy as metal, and less weight, so when/if it does fall, it gets less damage!
my fav was the note 2... but this phone is great the m8 was long for no reason didnt feel good in the hand and was heavy
soon as i got the 5 out the box it felt way better before even turning it on

I actually liked the handling of the S4 (might be one of the few who actually did lol!)
I actually have to, but I agree about the bezel. Even tho I really like the look of the S4's bezel, the one of the S5 is pretty horrible lol. I really dont like it at all. But, that alone wouldn't persuade me from getting it.
I'll also admit that the white one feels extremely slippery on the back. Besides using an OtterBox for work every day, I'm not a huge case guy. Soon as i T home each day, I take the Defender off and slip on the Spigen bumper case that I got. Phone almost slipped outta my hands quite a few times already.
Orhan than that, I got no regrets. Very well rounded device. Surely won me over once again compared to HtC

Are you finding the Z3C too thick?

Hi All,
Coming from an old Galaxy S2 and comparing the specs, the Z3C is slightly thicker than my S2. How does it feel in your hands? Does it seem clunky due to the thickness?

Not really.
Not at all.
If anything, it's too thin. There isn't a lot to grab on to.
Not at all - I can hold it pretty comfortably.
I don't know, as mine is still out for delivery.
However, I am using a Kyocera Hydro Vibe as an interim phone, and like you I am coming from a Galaxy SII. The Hydro Vibe is roughly the same dimensions as the Z3C, and I can tell you, I prefer the Vibe's size over that of the GSII. This link might help you get a better idea of of how the phones stack up with each other.

Well I'm coming from (still using) a Jolla, which is +3.7L,+3.1W,+1.3D (mm) larger than the Z3C. and the latter feels massively more compact. Personally I find it too thin.
Relative to your SII, the Z3C. is +2L,-1.2W,+0.1D (mm). Slightly longer (not really relevant for handling), less wide ... and if you think you can feel 0.1mm thicker ... you're more sensitive than me. I'd say you shouldn't have any concerns at all. It should feel less 'clunky' than the SII due to being less wide.
Heck, I'd even take an extra millimeter or two, if it meant I could get something more than this paltry, meager two day battery life.
Thin is overrated.
Coming from an HTC One S, thickness is great, the former I had to use with a case as it was actually too thin. I was surprised by the weight of the Z3C though.

Yup. I won't mind it being 1 or 2 mm thicker if they use that extra thickness to good use, like filling it up with battery goodness, or maybe even wireless charging.
I don't fully agree with the present trend of bigger display sizes, thinner phones and QHD. A little over-kill, IMO.
Had it in my hands all night, it needs more beef ... Too worried about not having not enough grip.
Feels great in the hand. I'd say the thickness is spot on. Feels well-built and solid.
Not too thick and not too thin. Perfect for me. It looks thin though sitting on a table. I think it is due to it's sandwich style.
