    Post Replacement for LED notification ?

    How do you tell if you miss a message if you leave the phone in the other room? Tap the screen ?

    Post Photo quality

    It is a lot better than my note 9 camera one of the reason i upgraded despite the ughly punch hole and lack of led notification of this phone. Not to mention the ear piece sucks compare to the note 9. So many steps backwards to get a better camera :(

    Post Replacement for LED notification ?

    Is there some sort of feature that replaces the notification light which the ultra 20 lacks. They have this weird flash and edge light feature that only seems to work when the message comes in but if you miss the notification it is useless because it doesn't periodically blink. They have a...

    Thread Anyway to improve (loudness) speaker phone volume ?

    I picked up a USA unlocked note 9 recently. The sound volume is mostly fine for most things (including notifications). However, the speaker phone is very soft. Is there anyway to boost the volume on the speaker phone ? I hear the s10+ is better but i just got this thing so would like to find a...

    Post Outdoor visibility (max brightness)

    thanks for the comments. Was comparing this phone to a couple of others for a blackfriday purchase. Sounds like this one is hard to view outside.

    Post WiFi strength, range, and throughput

    This might be a standard issue with andriod that you have to make an http connection to authorized the connection (for example airports and hotels). What I do is open chrome and use the url http://yyy.com (it doens't have to be a real website. The key thing is to specify http:// since most...

    Post dac/sound quality ?

    I've been using a fifo 10 (usb dac) with my computer but to be honest since sandy bridge most dacs on computers are decent enough. As for this tablet sold it a long time ago - i have a 12 inch samsung pro but it is now dated and looking for a new 12 inch tablet but no one makes a decent one. 10...

    Post Will you be upgrading to the new Note Tablet (Chromebook)?

    I over simplified my answer. It might be a combination of the ssd and the cpu but it is extermely slow. I run the same software on my note 4 and venue 8800 and both run circles around the note pro. I do realize that the nand flash storage is not exactly the same as an ssd but it is, if you...

    Post Will you be upgrading to the new Note Tablet (Chromebook)?

    I have the wifi model which I presume is exynos; they used snapdragon for those models that required LTE. Playing games and watching video is fine but web-browsing is pretty bad. At one point i looked into the issue with modest detail and am pretty sure a good chunk of the perf issue was related...

    Post Will you be upgrading to the new Note Tablet (Chromebook)?

    Do all android apps run on chromebook plus? I'm sick of tired of the note pro 12.2 being slow as a dog (esp the built in ssd). My phone feels 10x faster (note 4) but i would really prefer a 12 inch andriod tablet and no one is making those (I can live without the pen but 10 inch is too small). -...

    Post new ota (dec 28) ?

    You know I screwed up and posted this in the wrong forum. It was an update to the Note 4 not the Note 2; and it was just a security update.

    Post What is a good rom to install on verizon note 2 ?

    Just before I left town (6 months ago?) I did find a 5.x tw rom for the note 2 but I can't find it now. Might have been a work in progress. Someone had taken samsung code and thrown in the verizon drivers but maybe I am mistaken. Anyway I doubt I will use my note 2 again; the radio in it is...

    Post What is a good rom to install on verizon note 2 ?

    The quesiton wasn't intended to be 'loaded' and I shoudl have been more precise. I was looking for a touch wiz rom that was a bit newer then what i had. As it turns out I've already taken my trip so I've powered off the unit (though I should probably still update it). The actual note 2 I is...
