i don't have the note 2, but i wonder how good the pen feature is. here is my requirement:

i always have problem jotting down a note while talking on the phone. what would happen is i would find the "notes" app and jot down while talking. the problem is
1. the note app takes time to access. first i have to press the home key, then the notes app. 2 steps which takes about 5 seconds. 5 secs is a long time when the info is already in your head.
2. the note app can't write so well coz of my big fingers. i write a few letters and it already fills the whole screen. i know can scroll and such, but i want to at least write a house address without the need of scrolling.
3. btw, the note 2 automatically turn on loud speaker when u open the note? coz sometimes i go to the notes and realise i am not on loud speaker. so i have to go back to the phone app to turn it on. spoils the experience.

i wonder if note 2 solves the above prob.

Do you even know what you are talking about?

I was talking about design not interface. Since when I said anything about iOS being dull and I like Android's interface? Learn to read properly before you start talking please.

Actually I love iTunes. Managed my music well, so organized. Now my music library looks messy and the songs are pretty much in a mess because Android dont have a proper music manager. And yes I agree even for backup, iTunes still the best.

I feel wanna cried yesterday when I'm trying to restore my phone. All the save game, whatsapp mesg, setting etc all gone. iTunes really backup bulat bulat. You wont see the difference after restore....

Now i had join the Android and Note 2 clan. This is the only iPhone thread I'm still active....

yeah. that sucks. but actually got software that does that for u. titanium backup is the most popular. but nothing like built into the OS. but if i not mistaken not all is backed up by itunes. it depends on the app. some app don't "subscribe" to icloud don't get backed up too. is it true?

just bought my iphone5 on last friday.. before this i was still struggling whether to get s3/note2/ip5.. i have went to samsung shop to play with note2 & s3 couple of times before..

all i can say is.. no regret on getting iphone5.. the moment u hold the phone in your hand, you will fall in love with it

p/s: i'm using iphone4 before this upgrade

Heard of titanium backup but it only for root phone.

I used iphone4, then 11 days ago got Note 2 then 2 days ago switch back to iPhone 5. LOL

You don't like the Note 2?

Below are all my personal opinion

I like the screen size, i like their widgets - but too big for me for my daily pocket

I dont like the way android works when alerts come and it is inside the notification centre where all the notifications are grouped according to apps. For iOS, when a message comes, you activate the screen you will see the message and its content. In android you dont, you have to bring down the notification to see it. Take whatsapp for example, in iOS locked screen you can read all the messages without unlocking the phone. For android, you have to bring down the noti center, then tap on the Whatsapp (19 messages), only than it launches whatsapp for you. I work in mobile portal personalization and all these extra taps on the screen is tedious for mobile users. Lesser taps to get to where you want is the best design.

iPhone keyboard does not lag as much as android's. Yes you can say we can download custom keyboards (free and paid) from Playstore which might be able to provide you with better experience but iOS comes with a default free keyboard which i can type faster.

Android users might not like what i said but they have their own view on these matters.

so all in all, it depends on what you want to achieve with the OS.

Hmm on your first part i think you need to activate the message preview from whatsapp. Same goes to other messaging apps. If you turn on the message preview then you will get what you want from iOS as above mention. On the 2nd part about the keyboard i agree with you. The predictive keyboard sucks. I always typo...

if come from android... android got swiftkey... iphone cannot fight la... the only thing i missed in android is swiftkey....

+1

I tried the swiftkey & it seems impressive at first but I would stick to the old QWERTY style of typing. Nothing beats tapping the keyboard with 'tap tap tap' sound

Android got swiftkey ma.

But iPhone's keyboard are more responsive, maybe I'm used to it. Keep getting typos on my Note 2 when typing fast

yea, note 2 is just the same old note 1, except it's a real RGB amoled (non-pentile), 2 GB of RAM, a quad core, 3100mAh battery, jelly bean android OS.

polls make forum community interesting, and also it's reflects something that's unpredictable thinking as an individual.

i know about that preview but it is not as refined as iOS

and what i said earlier is when you activate the screen, you see a list of msges in iOS. in android you dont.



for android to have somethin glike that you have to buy at USd2.49

your preview, iOS also has it

Swype is another thing, if only iOS has it LOL

swiftkey got the tap sound also... anywhere swiftkey knows what you want to type even before you press the keys.. e.g. your address, you company name, you phone number,

best AI keyboard is swiftkey, learns the way you type, if let me choose between Siri or Swiftkey, my choice would be Swiftkey...

For many example, the rule is, you need to type it correctly at the first time, then bamp....

e.g. you type Wilayah, you will get Persekututan, Kuala, Lumpur

e.g. you type 016, you will get 016XXXXXXX

etc....
