Excellent playback. I use Diceplayer and play 720p and 1080p mkv files on my Wifi network streamed from my local server. Very smooth.

I do light browsing. It's fine and smooth for me. I use Dolphin browser.

What do you mean it does not have gorilla glass? Please do your own checking first before believing what other people are saying...

You don't have to worry about getting the phone to root to make the phone run properly. As it is, the phone is smooth and very enjoyable to use. BTW, I'm still not rooted. Don't see the need to yet.

No offence but I think 5 year warranty on a phone is a little bit overdone. You will still use the same phone after 5 years?

Yup. Out of 10 Note sightings, 8 are female users. I thought the size would be a turn off for them but I guess they have an advantage in that they can put the Note in their handbag.

Why do you say that? You need to connect the Note to the charger if you want to output to your TV anyways. So any additional power usage is taken care by the charger.

You're trying to connect a notebook type USB hardisk or USB thumbdrive?

If you want to connect the hardisk, I think you need to connect power to the hardisk as well.

Root not required if you install the correct version that does not require root.

Check my post on V6.

Google for the exact filename.

Thanks for the link buddy. I will install the new version over the old one.

You need a normal standard HDMI cable to plug into the MHL adapter. Plug in power supply to the MHL adapter and
plug the other USB cable from the MHL adapter to the phone.

Errr... Correction. Yes, you can install google voice with navigation even WITHOUT root.

BTW, thanks to link provided by aidlover, there's a latest version out.

Why oh why... For much less money, you can get better headphones.

I'm no audiophile expert and don't know your budget / taste / requirements. Post your queries at the Headphone section.

The friendly guys over there will give their expert opinions.

LOL as it is, some people already find the Note a little "bulky" for phone.

Anyway, the 7.7 looks good as a tablet though. I would prefer if SEP sold a Wifi version only and then I can use it purely as a tablet at home with Wifi connection.

Invisibleshield?



One way of cleaning small crevices is by using something like Cyber Cleaner.

I think what they do is send the phone back to the original SC and cover the cost of repair from their own pocket. That's what Harvey Norman does with their extended warranties of electrical goods.

Do you see the Samsung Note listed here?

Yes, I would buy it new (1st or 2nd option). BTW, don't fall for the free accessories trick. Most of the time, the accessories given are cheap stuff.

It's actually not black. It's officially called dark blue colour. The Samsung box also says blue colour.

Naked with slipcase.

I saw a guy pick up a call and put his Galaxy 7.7 next to his ears. Looked like he was holding a book.

Are there any ROMs that does away with the stock Samsung launcher? Pure google like Nexus?
