Been waiting for GN2 for a year - Fascinate General

I've resisted myself from getting Galaxy Nexus/S3 for GN2 and now rumors say Verizon isn't getting it. I guess it's time for me to move on from Verizon...
Any thoughts?
Sent from Inc 2 using Tapatalk 2

From what I read, the GN2 is still going to be a lot less powerful than the G3 so honestly I'd just get the G3 unless you really want the Nexus for some other reason...

Take a look at this: http://www.bgr.com/2012/08/21/galaxy-nexus-2-specs-rumor/
As you can see, the G3 is still a superior phone, especially if you manage to get the international quad core version (the US version had a dual core)

I know which is better... I was saying I was thinking of getting Nexus WHEN it came out, not now. Honestly, I just love the screen size/and display on Note 2, so I was holding off SGS 3 as well, but looks like I wasted the time w/ Note 2 only going to T-Mobile and AT&T.

The Note II is coming to all 4 major carriers. But since you're on Verizon, I assume you'd be most interested in this piece of info. http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...verizon-pops-up-in-screenshot-model-sch-i605/

I like big phones but I think the Note is just a bit too over the top, although I can imagine gaming on it to be incredible. I think the G3 is about at my limit for gigantic phones

Oh my bad, I thought you meant Galaxy Nexus 2, not the Galaxy Note 2. Although I'm not sold on the size of that thing, it looks more interesting than the Nexus 2

The s3 is a solid phone! If you get it, you wont regret it! From what I read verizon is not getting the note 2... instead they will be dropping a LG variant with a 5" screen.

I'm curious. Why'd you "jump ship" to One? Reason I'm asking is my wife's second digitizer (replaced ~1 month ago) is going out and upgrade is due 1 APR. If the One is delayed TOO much, we may have to get a different phone, and the S3 is a candidate. Thx
I want to sell my sg3 keeping my hox, still on fire... I m in Argentina but cant find buyers.. Thats bad:banghead:

Congratulations
I have just got a HTC one to replace my S3.
The ui is far more basic (or close to stock if you prefer) but the speed is awesome and I think I prefer the more natural screen colours. The definition is amazing.
Overall I am more than pleased. Only 2 days in but I have to say that this is my best ever phone. Only thing slightly lacking is it couldn't wait for the 64gb version and I have a LOT of music but I think I will cope with the 32gb version)
The very best feature in NO LAG! I have been waiting for that so long! Even faster than the Nexus 4. In fact this is the phone the nexus 4 should have been.
There have been iPhone muggers before but this Is the iPhone killer!
Android ftw!

I'm dumping my Sprint Galaxy S 3 as soon as I can get my hands on this phone. Every review I've seen so far says it's the best phone they've ever rated. Period. Looking forward to a quad core processor.
The GS 3 is OK. The GS 4 looks like more of the same with a quad core. Touch Wiz sucks. Running other launchers has really screwed up my voicemail. Rooting is a bit out of my league.
Sprint still doesn't have 4G in NE Ohio. Sprint 3G is SLOW. Any suggestions for the best network speed from a major U.S. carrier ?
NE Ohio here as well, Youngstown area.
I personally love my gs3, just like new technology and stepdaughters windows phone needs replaced, so she is getting the HTC Amaze and wife will rock the S3.
As far as provider, I like T-Mobile in big cities, but the Bonies it gets rough. I get 20mb down and 3 up on their HSPA +.
Verizon is the best for overall. But they are more expensive than anyone else, but great coverage and great speeds.
If not those two, then would make at&suck next in line.
Sprint is God awful round here.

If rooted I'm sure there will be ways to force roam on Verizon.

as mentioned sold the SGS3, ordered the Black, changed my mind ordered two Silver Ones......hopefully one of them will be a keeper.
Current interim solution - HTC Hero.......
I'm due a free upgrade, so am keeping my 16GB S3, purchasing a 64gb SDcard and using the S3 purely as an mp3 player. The Wolfson dac is more than excellent.
Will then keep the storage on the One free of music and ensure the 32GB version is more than sufficient for apps and videos/photo.

That's nothing, I'm using my girlfriends old lumia 610 and of course it's a pink one.. ~4 weeks to get ONE :crying:
Having spent time with both, the S3 has more features but I mean when really uses them? The One is a more clean and simple phone with a premium feel. For me personally its hit the sweet spot
another sammy user here, moving from galaxy note to htc one! hell yeah.. i tried the device during a preview here and was absolutely blown away!! gonna be amazing!
Same. Waiting for black 64gb to replace my s3
Now if we all fall in love with HTC and sense and don't go back to Samsung in the near future, I can say that this is their fault for not developing a new design from sg3
Got so disappointed when I saw the unboxing and don't intend to buy a Samsung again.
Since I expect their sales to decrease a lot compared to sg3, they might come with a awesome phone next year. But by then it might be too late cuz everybody who tests sense after been using touchwiz, won't turn back again.

Worth switching from Note II?

If there already was a giant thread on this I do apologize but I couldn't find it.
Anyway I currently have a Note II but don't use any of the S-Pen features and actually came to dislike the size of the phone. So if there is anyone out there that did make the switch: is it worth selling this Note and buying the S4 outright?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
There are some people that swear the Note 2 is better. I have both in my home. Used both side by side for days. Just the size of the Note 2 alone makes me gag. I love my S4. No comparison in my OPINION. That's just me. Just the fluidity and functions alone are so much better. The screen is absolutely brilliant. Once custom roms come along it'll be nuff said.

I Upgraded to the S4 from the Note 2. The issues i had with the note were that even with its size i still could not use it as an e-reader/tablet like i wanted too, i also did not use the spen nearly as much as it was made for. With that said i had no reason to stay with a larger device. On top of the screen and camera on the S4 i am able to carry it much more comfortable in my pocket because of the lightweight slim frame.
Thanks guys, the unfortunate thing is I'm on Verizon and I'm probably going to be looking at a couple months before they can crack the bootloader and custom ROMs are actually available.

Bootloader is already cracked. We're all patiently waiting for you Verizon guys so all of us can get some custom roms.

I have a brand new note 2 barely used interested in a trade?
I sold my 7 month old Note 2 & bought this AT&T I337. I love the S4, but I wish I'd got one that doesn't have the locked bootloader.
I switched from the note 2. The only reason i really did it was because someone offered me $400 for my note 2. I had an upgrade so I pocketed $200. Other than that.. I don't think the upgrade is really significant. Especially when the note 2 gets most of the S4 functions.

Should I sell my S4? Help please!

I have the i9500 variant and my friend who has a note 2 asked if I wanted to trade. I know Note 3 is very near so even if I get the Note 2 I'd have to sell it instantly. I am on vacation in India and checked the prices.
Galaxy S4's, new ones cost about 35,000INR. Used ones sell for about 30,000INR.
Note 2's sell for 31,000INR. Used Note 2's sell at about 18,000INR.
I checked how iPhone was doing and saw.
iPhone 4S 16GB, new costs about 25,000 and used costs 20,000.
iPhone 4 16GB, new costs about 37,000INR and used for about 35,000INR.
So I am in a dilemma. I have about $60 worth of accessories with my S4 which I'd obviously giveaway. I do not wanna invest 10,000 more and buy a current highend device. I am eyeing the Xperia Z and Xperia Z Ultra but they say the display isn't nice. And Sony resale/support isn't good. HTC One is nice too but I think its expensive and HTC isn't good with updates.
So what should I do? How much should I sell my Galaxy S4 for? My friends offering me the Note 2 AND 15,000INR. So can anyone tell me how much would a 2 month old used Note 2 sell for?
Should I do it? If so, what should I replace my S4 with. I am thinking to get iPhone 4S and wait till Note 3 is out and sell iPhone 4S for Note 3.
I chose Apple cause they have good resale prices. I am thinking about getting the Nexus 4 too.. are their resale prices good too? betting on Nexus is risky as Google does price cuts wayyy often and there hasn't been a new Nexus in a while.
I need a good temporary phone that will sell well in about 3-4 months.
Opinions?
Note 2 is a bit of a niche phone. A lot of people can't deal with the size so obviously the s4 will have better resale value.
Unless there is a reason you don't want the s4 anymore then I'd just stick with that.

If i were you, id stick to my S 4 till the note 3's up for grabs.price wise, i see the galaxy s 4 price is still high tho it was released few months ago.But its your call mate, decide what suits you best.
I guess I'll keep S4. Note 2 internals are bad too... but for some reason it is tempting.
I do love my S4 though.

Note 2 internals are not bad they are just not as good as the s4. I do understand why you are tempted ... I have both phones and am finding it hard to sell one of them as they are both great. At the end of the day though the s4 is much more popular and will be easier to recuperate money on later.
-- Sent from the mighty Note 2 --
As long as it gives you what you need... Theres no reason to change your phone...
I would definitely keep the S4. It's a fine device.
Weird that the iPhone 4s sells for less than the 4. Or maybe you got it the other way round.
But anyway, if you like the note 2 it wouldn't be such a bad idea considering he's also paying you cash on top. Personally I prefer the S4 and wouldn't trade for any available phone.

Wait for the Nexus 5, if its anything like the LG G2 looks and the same specs it will be the hottest device around running KLP.
I think you should keep S4 till the next generation. Think about it, you're changing your phone within less than a year!! S4 is still a beast device, so why not hold up with it a little more? I bet your warranty (if not rooted/unlocked) is still there!! Do you want my advice?
Wait for Note IV or something like this
Your device can still keep up with current generation and even further
Also, if you're really going to buy the Note III, sell the device to your friend, get a 50$ cheap one, and then buy the Note III! I think it's better than investing in a good phone and selling it later.

Samsung?!Why and what now???

What and why Samsung you do this?
Until thill now we wait and was happy for new flagship release but now Samsung you just counthing money and sold phone?!
When you release few years ago phone they have new function and beaty now older phone have more choise then new.
When you see Note 4 vs Note 5 you will see more on Note 4 then on Note 5,small difference between this brothers.
I have S1,2,3,4 and then I go on Note line but after Note 5 I ask my self what now to buy when change Note 4???
#OFFICIAL No Note 5 for Europe,one more dissapoiting.
Best regards guys!!!

LG 4 pro looks interesting... They compared to iPhone 6 plus... Which has more memory and with the new iPhone coming out apple could kill Samsung.... And iPhone updates are way faster.. Goodbye Samsung or or may keep my note 4 for another year by then I may get update to 5.1.1...and they thanked loyal fans.... And they listened to what we want?
I agree man
Samsung please leave glass................ use metal or plastic but leave glass
I noticed that for the first time there is no difference in design or materials used for building both the Galaxy S6 & Note 5, same design & same stupid glass.
look to the design of S4 & Note 3 ........... there is a difference
S5 & Note 4 ........... there is a difference
This year I think Samsung missed & made such a stupid step back & it will cost Samsung a lot
Say No For Glass
Agree but Samsung made too many mistakes now like battery etc

Probably not a rare piece, but it just makes the Note 5's value proposition look that much worse!
Note 4s are going for about $300-400 right now and do a whole lot more despite being last year's model; why not just keep buying them? Perhaps Samsung will get the hint when last year's model outsells this year's model by a significant margin.
As for me, I'm not even going to sell mine; I'll just keep rocking it 'til it dies.

You said it.
Suggest Samsung should come up with 3 Note models every year and deliberately tag them officially as below:
Samsung Note Classic
Samsung Note Sheep
Samsung Note Floosy Edge
Never change the Classic model on the core features, yes improve and evolve the design.
For Sheep and Floosy variants, go and fsck yourself and do whatever it takes to keep the drunk suites happy.
If they wanted to carry experiments, they should have done on edge version only. Damn why they don,t realize that note users want bigger battery n microsd.

Agree with this thread. I have had the note 2, 3, and just bought the 4. Bought the note 4 only because of what they were doing with the 5. Unless they get rid of the glass back I won't buy another one. I love my note phones but don't like the direction they are going now with glass back, non removable battery, and no SD card. If they wanted something premium seems like they could have gone with leather like LG or some other premium material that would at least let the back be removable.
Interested in the LG g4 pro but the display in their LG line doesn't seem to be as vibrant as Samsung's but will have to see what it looks like when it comes out. BUT for now will enjoy my note 4 as long as I can.

Note 7 anyone?

I'm just wondering if anyone is going to be jumping to the new Note 7 that was shown today? I've owned the Note 2, 3, and 4 Developer Edition, but didn't go with the Note 5 because of the lack of a memory card and no root. Now the Note 7 corrects one of those since it does have the microSD card slot, but I'm going to bet the thing will never get root access or custom ROMs.
I could sell my Note 2, 3, and 4DE to help pay for the 7, or look at going with the Moto Z Force since it also looks pretty good (and I like the Mods).
Anyone else thinking about leaving their Note 4 for a newer model?
I will wait and see if the Note 7 gets root. I will never do what I did with the Note 4 again. Even though I finally got my Note 4 rooted it was so late that there is minimal development for a phone that is 2 generations old.
Dev Converted Jasmine 6.0 MM Wonder
I'm disappointed that the Note 7 appears as a glorified S7. Who's driving all the phones to have edge screens? My wife has a S7 Edge and never uses any of the edge screen options. It was a complete let down to see that the only new option is an iris scanner and water resistance. Funny that they don't mention that the iris scanner doesn't work with glasses or contacts.
I was so looking forward to something better from Samsung.
I may take it for a test drive but I got to have a replacable battery

nah...I am good with my Note 4 for now. I will see if it gets root and then possibly rethink my decision. I could care less about an iris scanner.
I just bought a Note 4 after seeing the Note 7. I haven't had a Note since the 1 and 2 versions, and I miss it. I just hope I can root it after updating to 6.0
I am totally disenchanted with Samsung right now. I have a Tab S 10.5 32GB, an S2 9.7, a Note 4 and a Gear VR. I'll be dumping all of them other than 1 of the tablets because of Samsung's ridiculous treatment of their users with buggy, delayed, and non-existant updates. The Note 4 got worse and worse after its awesome launch with KitKat. Having a Samsung device with a sealed battery terrifies me.
There's not enough to excite me about the Note 7 that I'm willing to pay almost $800 for one.
no way. I got CM13 on this thing after almost 2 years, I'm finally happy with it. I'm pretty sure this is going to be my last ever Samsung phone.

Since the Z Force lacks a stylus, a micro sd card slot, and the fact that it's Motorola. I haven't even considered it. But upon reviewing the specs and reading hands on reviews with it, it does sound like a good device. But to be honest, I just haven't given Motorola a chance since the Droid Ultra.
The mods for the Z Force are cool, but I just don't think its enough to drag me away from the Note line (I LOVE the big screens and the stylus). I also love a micro sd card slot and removable batteries. But I know with the Note 7, I'll have to give up the removable battery part.

The Moto Z and Z Force does have a microSD slot, but gives up the 3.5mm headphone jack for the USB-C. At least with the Note 7 it has all of that and Stylus. That is why (if) I upgraded from the Note 4, I'd rather go to the Note 7.
The lowest price I've found is Best Buy that has it for $349 with a 2 year contract. I've been out of contract for many years, so don't mind doing that. I'm just not sure if Verizon increases the line access fee. I'm currently on the 6GB Verizon Plan.

The Moto Z and Z Force does have a microSD slot, but gives up the 3.5mm headphone jack for the USB-C. At least with the Note 7 it has all of that and Stylus. That is why (if) I upgraded from the Note 4, I'd rather go to the Note 7.
The lowest price I've found is Best Buy that has it for $349 with a 2 year contract. I've been out of contract for many years, so don't mind doing that. I'm just not sure if Verizon increases the line access fee. I'm currently on the 6GB Verizon Plan.

I definitely agree with this. This Note 4 is the first phone in a while that I've actually stuck with for a while 2 years, but I feel like the Note 7 would be a worthy upgrade.
Now, if I had a Note 5, then I may not be so quick to make the upgrade.

Ahh OK right. Sorry! Not trying to spread false information. I could've sworn it didn't. Thanks for correcting me. But yes, the 3.5mm headphone jack is also a minus in my book.

But on the Note 5 they took away the microSD slot, so for those people it would be an upgrade to go with the Note 7 since it does have that.
I see no need to upgrade my phone, now. My rooted Note 4 works great. I'm using the PaulPizz ROM. When I upgraded TO my Note 4, my previous phone, DROID RAZR MAXX, was lagging horribly. If/when I get to that point, I'll see about upgrading, then. At this rate, who knows, maybe it'll be another year, maybe two, I hope. Hopefully, Android 7.0 ROMs are created for the Note 4, soon. I might jump ship as soon as forward development stops. Of course, with a new unit, we all have learned out lesson about being so quick to jump on something brand new, due to the fact that obtaining root is next to impossible, nowadays with retail phones.
Anyone know if a Developer Edition will be released?

I've been using MOROM on my Note 4 DE for the past year, but has really gotten sluggish over the past few months.
Since there wasn't a Note 5 Developer Edition, I doubt there would be one on the Note 7, as most likely Samsung Pay and Android Pay wouldn't work, and it may make the iris scanner less secure.
played abit with the note7 at best buy today. really wasn't impressed at all. sigh. the edges were distracting too.didn't seem that fast/snappy.
If my Note 4 goes bad I'm probably getting another Note 4 lol
