Use your phone in stock condition first. Feel it, explore it. If it accommodate your needs, so no need to think about flashing custom ROM. If you are not satisfied, then maybe consider to flash custom rom.

As for me, I'm using stock rom till now, it's already more than 2 months. No problem. Satisfied. Sufficient.

quite annoyed and disappointed with the note build and quality... i just have to rant again.

2 days back, i was using the phone while it was being charged. there was the usual 'screen sensitivity' issue -- very obvious if you use swype.

anyway, i noticed the screen flickering quite often and an apps was trying to run in the background... notification bar showed driving mode was on. WTF?!? turned it off... and 15seconds later, it would come on... the screen would go to voice talk/ command screen... double press the home button also not working properly...

restarted the phone and it was still the same... screen still flickering and going into drive mode...

then i suspected something. unplugged the USB cable. all the 'problems' disappeared. somehow, the phone was detecting the cable as a usb car dock?!? it's the original charger + cable.

yes another poor quality accessory. already it gives me hissing sound... but now died on me?!? i wonder if i can claim warranty on this.

now have to use the usb cable from the sgs2. actually, i find the quality of the usb cable from sgs2 to be much better. there's even a bulge on the micro usb end of the cable so you'd know which way to plug in the cable, in case you're in the dark, etc... no such thingy with the one that came with note.

are u using custom or stock ROM?

Guys.. I have 1 quick question unrelated to Note..

I'm about to buy a used HTC Sensation XL shortly..

I need to know, how can i differentiate between the original Beats earphone and the fake one? i need to be cautious, because its a used item, i'm afraid if the seller take out the ori Beats and replace with a fake one.

Need advice here. hope somebody here can help. Thanks in advance. icon_question.gif

bought Sensation XL for my gf yesterday.. i envies her phone now.. design-wise, i personally think that the Sensation XL is very well polish, with attitude, while our Note is like a "rush" production from Sammy, with minor glitch here and there. even if i compare the chargers, XL's charger looks more like from an expensive phone, while Note's charger feels like "pasar malam" product. and Note design is just a mere, square slab of screen with mainboard powering up everything and a battery, covered by a thin plastic. while Sensation XL looks very gorgeous and sexy. yawn.gif In short, despite of its raw power, Note feels cheap on hands.

to be honest... i choose Note because of the spec and usability rather than looks expensive. Dual-core VS Single-core, dual-core will always wins... u only have S-XL for a day. use that first and see how it match against Note in multitasking jobs. so in a nutshell, ppl like me buy due to our needs of the Note of what it can do better compared to other smartphone as well as the best spec which fit the requirements. Same as Sony Vaio vs other laptop (and Apple fanboys as well). currently am looking for netbook. Sony Vaio Y looks and feel nice and expensive but spec are crap compared to others like Asus 1215B or HP DM1. So looks can be subjective but the spec are 100% objective. Btw, for me, my black Note looks far better than XL long shape. (I owned Desire and ChaCha before)

erm not really. for me when i comparing the samsung galaxy note with my htc sensation xl side by side, i still prefer the note more than the sensation xl in terms of its capability and design. the sensation xl just give me a feel that it is not worth for the price and regret for buying it. doh.gif

note is better bro cool.gif but at last it is still up to the user since each person is having different views and opinion.

btw, happy chinese new year to all note users  smile.gif

Yes, I've been using Note since the first day it launched here on 11/11/11 until now. And I know very well how it feels and it's performance. Regarding performance, S2 is better than Note. Display also maybe S2 better. So Note is not superior in any aspect, except that it have the largest screen among smartphone, and and S-pen. I mean, Sammy could have done better than this, if they are not always in rush to compete with Apple, till they brought it into Court. tongue.gif

Just come back from LY plaza, hunting for some accessories. Found this bumper. Tho made of cheap material, but it looks nice on my Note. Bought at rm47.. Hope more bumper coming. I tried the aluminum bumper, but dislike it, coz it makes the Note looks very bulky, and looks funny

I saw Transcend microsd 32gb class 10 selling at rm179 at a shop in LY plaza. Quite cheap huh? But is transcend a reliable brand? SanDisk 32gb class 10 selling side by side with it at rm209. Not sure which one to grab, thus I leave it for this time. Which one worth to grab, the cheaper Transcend or, SanDisk?

Is FIFA 2012 already available for Android now? Obviously none in our local Market. But if it's already available in US market for example, then I will have a reason to root for using market enabler. Quite bored lately, need some entertainment.

Hmm.. Eventually I will have to root my Note somehow. Somehow I feels things like market enabler, Titanium Backup, root explorer, and some other apps becoming essential in using android phone.

My Android always rooted within hours of purchase !! Never think of not rooting. And I am never concerned about warranty and so far even with root and roms flashed, I havealways successfully claim warranty especially from samsung and HTC

Yeah, I guess you r right, Uncle Benny. Btw, I'm already on 2.3.6 LA1. Can direct root, or need to downgrade? I know, I will read the available guides. Haha. biggrin.gif but just need some figure to imagine what works needed to be done, basically. Well, I have been avoiding root and flashing rom since using my last S2.. I'm quite left behind in think. biggrin.gif

There is no direct root for LA1 if you have updated to it without original root in place. Solution at my blog :
http://leemn.wordpress.com/2012/01/11/sams...e-kl-and-above/

Or you can try reading the long details at XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

You can install Titanium Backup to FREEZE any apps you do not wish to appear in apps drawer, or being executed in background. Call history tweaks on cook roms only. You can try looking for such mods at XDA forum without resorting to install cook roms but I think your rom need to be deodexed . So it is as good as insatlling a cook rom, might as well installed cook rom

Thanks for the guide. Seems straightforward. Looking forward to do it tmrw. smile.gif

Nice one. why don't Sammy provide such setting/tweak out of box? XDA Dev people are better than Sammy's engineer? whistling.gif

Guys, i just got a PM from the seller selling Zagg Invisible Shield, said that it is now available for Note. refer here . Anyone fancy to get one? smile.gif anyone have used the Zagg shield before? is it really scratch proof? Coz the price quoted was RM90, so its more expensive than average casings. so still considering if wanna get one. Maybe its time to get our Note play out NAKED (but protected). laugh.gif

great..more reason for me to root now...but my internet connection so slow..hard to dload it

wta...from 2.3.5, if i want to flash my fon to LA4, do i need to flash it first to LA3 or not...?

Once u got root and CWM, u can flash to any ROm u want, no need to upgrade it step by step, such as flash to LA3, then LA4. u can go straight to LA4 even from KKx firmware (again, after u got root and CWM installed). correct me if im wrong

i seriously dun think Samsung was prepared to be one of the top leaders in terms of phone sales...

they dun have the proper support infrastructure ready.

i was near federal highway end of last week and decided to pop by the service centre and see if i can claim warranty (not so responsive screen + hissing sound from charger + the ori cable now causes phone to go into car mode)...

when i entered... wah, so many people. pressed for number... more than 20+ ppl ahead of me. waited... after more than 15 mins, gave up. coz in that 15+ mins, only called 2 more guys. at that rate, i'd have to wait for like... a few hours?!?

saw they now had feedback form. one question was -- how long i had to wait to be served... the answers options they have is a laugh... <1 minute; <3 minutes; <5 mins; <10mins (or sth like that)... the last option was just more than 15mins... my goodness... the questionnaire shows they are not even aware of the actual situation. it should give options like: <10mins; <30mins; <60mins, etc...

mate, my Note now (this is my second set) having the same issues as yours. think twice to go to the SC due to imagining all the fuss i will have to go through for the warranty claim purpose. and i will not want to leave my phone at the SC for weeks. sighhh.. but the screen issues always bugs me, and i'm afraid it will become worst by time. sad.gif
