    Post Buy Note 2? Or wait for Note 3?

    To the OP. You should never buy any Galaxy Note. If your happy to wait several months for a phone which main usp is to be able to write on a screen, you don't need that function. Or else you would already own a Note regardless of version. If you must wait for the next "ultimate" handset, then...

    Thread GN2 Camera Query - wrong resolution

    The issue is photos that are taken sometimes end up being 1280 x 720 in resolution using default setting. Not always, as the default setting is single shot with maximum widescreen resolution. You can imagine how infuriating it is when you have been to a special event only to have crappy low res...

    Post First Extended Battery for the N7100

    For unlimited power you could use 2 solar panels in parallel with a usb splitter cable to maximise current in cloudy skies. Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

    Post Galaxy Note II Case with Stand Photo Review

    In response. Regarding the case and holding it. I agree, does my head in sometimes. Hence why i may get a sleeve instead for when at work and use it one handedly most of the time. Regarding nfc, i aint convinced it would be affected until i get to test it. Regarding magnet, never noticed it...

    Post Galaxy Note II Case with Stand Photo Review

    Another little update, these stand cases are really good for watching iplayer etc. But I think I am going to buy a leather sleeve/pouch type case. Ive always used them with htc handsets, due to most usage is one handed. And save the stand case for movie time. Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda...

    Post Galaxy Note II Case with Stand Photo Review

    For the record. The handset clicked into case. Nothing had to be removed. Grips it fine. Must be a different case if you have to remove covers. So far only really annoying thing is using it one handed. The folding cover is in the way of fingers. There is a similar case that has a rotating...

    Post Galaxy Note II Case with Stand Photo Review

    Yes it does. I will write a detailed review sometime today. Central heating pump failed and looking after a newborn has kept us busy. Lol Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

    Post Post a picture of your case along with your Note 2

    Hi posted a million pics at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933878 Got it in the post yesterday, honestly believe it is far superior to the official samsung case. Slim, light and protects the whole phone. Warms up nice in the hand so feels like leather. :good:

    Thread Galaxy Note II Case with Stand Photo Review

    Hi initial photo review of this case. Will write a full review later tonight. In a nutshell it is well made and light. Fits very well in trouser pocket. Does not feel bulky. Price about £10. You will find them on ebay in various colours. If these photos help you decide. Feel free to hit the...

    Post Cheap batteries on ebay

    Hong Kong should call their auction site fakeBay. Bought several camera batteries in the past and well its clear they just stick an extra zero on whatever capacity they have. E.g.5000 mAh battery for note2 is really 500mAh. Save ya pennies and buy from a reliable source. Edit- nearly forgot...

    Post Post Your Battery Stats

    I do run mine with power save on, just the cpu. Unless searching pdf's. Screen in day is on 30% Auto brightness. Htc custom roms left me paranoid about batteries only lasting half a working day. Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

    Post Can the Note 2 replace the Laptop for the casual user....?!?

    Laptop no, netbook yes, 10inch cheap android tablet yes, ipad no. On the move definately great. Relaxing at home, ipad3 still is more relaxing to use. That said, I havent touched the wife's ipad since getting the gn2. Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

    Thread The jedi screenshot technique.

    Wondering how to take screenshots? :banghead: If like me you were scratching your head how to take screenshots, and pressing a combination of buttons but nothing happened. Check Settings>motion find and enable the screenshot function. Hold hand perpendicular/vertical on right side of screen...

    Post [Q] Screen

    If you mean, clarity of small text. I can read full page pdf docs with smallish writing, in portrait mode. Dont have to zoom in. Iphone would be just a blur. The massive screen more than compensates for effectively tiny ppi differences. Wait till we have 1080p on 5inch displays then it will be...
