wow..only now i know it  doh.gif thank you for your precious info! i always install the app one by one..wasting my time doing it if i get my new phone! now i can save my time and energy..  rclxms.gif
Note is really spacious! and i feel tat note's screen is a bit nicer and more saturated compare to s2.. my family also say like that.. and so much slimmer compare to streak.. putting both together, its like one ah pek phone compare to one young trendy phone..  drool.gif

After using your NOTE, I am very sure you will not want to use the Dell Streak anymore. The Dell Streak is now suddenly an old man versus a teenager in the NOTE. Everything on the NOTE works so much smoother and faster on the NOTE

Just rooted.. using zerg script. do i need to install CWM also? flash using rom manager?
*
You install CWM using netchip kernel by using Odin. You cannot install Chainfire yet as there is no kernel matching to the Msian kernel yet. First thing I do after install CWM is to do a full nandroid backup

S2 charger can be used to charge note?

Can be used but slower as sgsII power output is 0.7A versus 1.0A for the Note

Any recommendation for GPS navigation for galaxy note ??

I use Sygic Aura - perfect. I switch the licence i bought for sgs II iver to the Note. Beautiful excellent graphics, user friendly n can navigate using coordinates
For papago x5 you need to run spareparts first unselect compatible mode and manually change the biggest folder under navisea/organic and all its subfolders to Note resolution. The overall graphic presentation is poor and menu hanging in middle

I think HTC charger also 1.0A output.

Change resolution of largest folder to 800X1280 in navisea/organic and all the subfolders under organic
Make sure you exect sparparts first un select compatible mode n reset - this step one time only

Benny, I am getting a response saying "Unsupported resolution 800X1280" when I launch Papago.  Done all the compatibility process in Spare parts already too. Any idea?

Did you rename all the subfolders too under organic? It definitely work with just one try for me

Hi Waveweaver, thanks for the reply. That battery stuff doesn't really my main concern now. my main concern is the purple line on the top left corner (see few post earlier with attachment). what's your suggestion/solution to this? Any recommendation is much appreciated.

Suggest you claim warranty have unit replaced

Before i turn that back to samsung, how about all my contact details and my data? How to back up so if i get the new phone i'm able to back up the info back to the new phone? Please kindly advise... really appreciate.  notworthy.gif

Hopefully got 3rd party browser works better than the stock browser.

Yeah i will root. Maybe will take time to read & learn steps to root. The last phone i root is desire & the legendary hd2. smile.gif

Never like stock browser. My favorites are xscope and dolphin hd
Rooting the note is way much easier than the htc and is very unlikely you will brick it

for those who doubt, Papago X5 can run : attached screen shots - only issue is the menu hanging in middle

Attached Image Attached Image

This is the detailed procedure:

1. Download spareparts from market. Launch it - scroll down and untick "Compatibilty Mode". Soft reset phone

2. Select the largest folder, Amend/rename in mnt/ sdcard : Navisea/Organic to 800X1280. For the subfolders CHT, EN, IND, MY - amend/rename the same folder to 800X1280

TS, please update this useful info on page 1

OR just use the free app BatteryCalibration which in principle does the same thing - removing the battery stats file. Charge the phone to full, execute the app - select " click battery calibration". Unplug phone
Phone need to be rooted to use this app

Hmmm..so far i keep hearing about the lag issue while browsing.Somebody should piled up things that we should do when we got out phone since i heard problems like when u write with the pen,the writing appeared away from the point u touch with the pen,then battery problems and dead pixels.Papago X5 also not really working properly unless u apply the fix that Uncle Benny taught us.
*
I have no lag issue in browsing as I do not use the stock browser. I use mainly Xscope which is the smoothest and fastest browser I have tested. My other favorite is Dolphin HD with its gestures features. Stock browser since my usage of the first Android till now never appeals to me as mostly I find it not as smooth as XScope and Dolphin HD
Even on my HTC's androids i find the stock browser still unable to match these 3rd party ones
