More testimonies of Note 2 users from Reddit:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1...amental_change/

kidclutchnote 2 [score hidden] 42 minutes ago*
i didnt upgrade from an S2, but rather from an N4 to the Note2. almost $300 difference. was it worth it? f*ck yes. let me begin with saying that after using the note2 i will never go back to a phone with a smaller screen or battery. i was skeptical on the physical size of the note2 but i wanted to give it a shot specifically for the battery (im a fairly heavy user and was 15% or below on battery by the end of the day with with N4). the battery life and screen real estate on the note2 change how you use your phone. before, i would limit what i would do on my phone in fear of draining too much battery and having it die on me when i would need it. but now things are different. i do what i want, when i want, however much i want. and the extra screen real estate only makes using it that much more enjoyable. i get through the day without a single worry (i take the phone off the charger at around 7am and dont plug it in until about 1am and usually still have 40ish% of battery left), and can stretch it to two days no problem. the note2 has been the best phone ive ever used (ive had iphones, blackberries, random androids, and all of the nexus line so thats saying something), and you can bet ill be getting the note3 when its released.

edit: one more thing thats note specific - the Spen. i dont know how valuable other note users find it, but i actually like it. i didnt think itd be that useful, but i find myself using it more than i had anticipated.

I don't use use my tablet as often ever since I got the Note 2. That itself is a big fundamental change for me. Also, for me the Note 2 is the perfect phone. I've had about 4 android phones before I got the Note 2. This by far is the best phone. It does everything I need a device to do and more. That includes books/music/video/browsing/email all on a nice large screen, yet small enough to fit in my pocket. I don't think I can go back to a phone with smaller screen.

Have to agree with that.

Im curious about cerberus. Lets say my phone get stolen, so by using this app I may be able to track down the phone(and the theif) via sms or email?

What if the theif is smart enough to make a factory reset or reflash the phone? I mean if I were the theif I would surely do that, just saying. Hmmm..

In my old samsung phone (cant remember which series) there is this setting where whenever a new sim card has been placed to the phone, an sms will be sent to my number(using different phone) giving me an alert and also that number.

Kinda..haha..
Been a stalker for few weeks already. I can see that there are a lot of flashing activities lately. Probably because of the 4.2.2 hype? Hehe.

restart the phone?

There have been very rare cases of bluetooth module failure on the phone. Try pairing with other stuff on both the notebook and phone.

Dude. .that is just really bad luck.

My note2 was acting weird just now. My batt was at 30% and I was browisng my emails. After that I let the phone into sleep mode. Moments later thought of using the phone again but the phone was turned off by itself. I started the phone again and the battery percentage shown was 0% and it turned back off again. Feeling frustrated so I turned the phone on and now the batt percentage stays at 4% for more than an hour. Anyone experience this before?

Saw a post in kopitiam giving facts about a specific ant that likes electronic boards or circuits. It wasnt a troll because it was posted with a 'sos kicap'.

Im still on moon rom v7 now. Performance not so good. TW is soooo laggy. Scrolling smoothness is very bad (a pause when scrolling up or down..about a second?). Opening an app takes time. Overall im not liking it.

i think that would depend on how big your hands are or how long your fingers are lol. because for my case i still can touch all four edges of the note 2 with my thumb without problems, but with that 6-inch i doubt i can do the same.
*
Lol. For me I dont think I can go back to a smaller phone. Before I own the note 2 I thought gs3 was big.
6 inch note 3 should be acceptable.

Thanks for the survey entry. Just curious, doesn't Perseus kernel have exfat support?

The thing is I was doing the survey using my note 2 running moon rom. It was so freaking laggy while scrolling. And yes perseus kernel have exfat support. Did I answer it wrongly? My bad.

So the 4.2.2 update is affected by the sales of gs4? Although it is a rumour but I think it makes sense. If the gs3 or note2 gets the update now then ppl will think twice before buying the gs4. Gs3 and note2 is cheaper yet u get the same features from the gs4.

for those flashing new rom's, how do you go about restoring your whatsapp, viber, etc messages?

for sms, call logs i use sms backup+ which backs up to gmail and restore is just a download
*
How about TiBu?
Anyway for watsap u could go to settings and do conversation backup.

the battery comments are really true.

i charged until full at 9am, i went out with friends, with non-stop viber, photos shooting, editing pics with s-pen, checking facebook, watching youtube, etc. when i was back home at 6pm, i still have around 38%.
i feel safe already with my note 2 battery which is huge and this lasting.

I guess it is ok to say it is not worth it for note 2 users to get s4.
The next big thing for note users is the note 3. But it's also depends on what it has to offer. Hopefully something unexpected.
