*** The Official Samsung Galaxy Note II Thread ***

[e36Adz]

yep, thank god for this thread!

I think you'll find I posted the offer. Good job getting it ordered in time though, I didn't think they would take it down.

No screen protector or case on mine, I just take extra care with it. I am on the lookout for a nice charging dock though. We need a Note II accessories thread!

can this actually turn into a thread about the note 2 now? not where and how to buy a note2 and how annoyed you are at tmobile.

anyway here is another drawing

really loving this phone so far, the screen is amazing.
the only one thing i hate which has got nothing to do one the phone itself is how greasy screen protectors get, i've got a spigen ultra crystal on there and it just seems to constantly be smudged and have like that effect you get when you accidently get water on a screen

did one. better than yours i think

Hahahaha that is brilliant!

 

[powelly]

hahah, love it

i take it you did that in sketchbook mobile express?

 

[tomos]

yep

might try sending one of those into samsung uk. never know, they might be like the canadian samsung and give me a free phone

or i'll say my 2 year old did it and hide my shame

 

[powelly]

imagine being stuck with it on the back of your phone
not saying it's a bad drawing

 

[tomos]

i'd deal with that if it meant a free nexus or something

Does anyone know if the LTE Note 2 from TMobile UK is unlocked, i.e. can I put a 3 SIM in it?

There is a £7/month 24 month deal with a phone cost of £350 which works out at £518 in total which is not a bad price, chuck out the tmobile sim and stick in your own, voila!

Where did you see this deal?

I think you are getting confused with the S3 deal as the Note 2 LTE is £449 on that price plan...

 

[Surreytoon]

Oops, it £449 up front cost resulting in £618 but the question still stands is it unlocked?

Am I right in thinking the Tmobile & Orange branded Note 2s LTE have all the bloatware that comes with carrier locked handsets? If so I'll just wait for cpw to stock them once EE has officially launched.

i don't think CPW will stock the LTE version for use on EE...

I saw our lucky brethrens YouTube vid. Those are some powerful hairy man forearms u got dagnabit. I can hear the excitement in your voice lol. Glad for you!

I'm pretty sure we will. I work for CPW part time and I know that we're definitely 100% selling EE so it would only make sense to sell the LTE models to go with it.

I have a SGS3 LTE from T-Mobile and there's no software branding at all. Just an LTE logo on the back cover.

Is it locked to Tmobile tho? Trying to work out if the EE SGN2 will be.

questions chaps

on these bigger phones is there an option to shrink text size? even on my lowly SGS2 everything is too big by default so i have to change the dpi or res or whatever that option is from 240 to 160. then everything looks right.

when i saw the note 2 everything on screen looked huge. like someone with a 24" monitor but left the res at something tiny so everything looks huge

Don't have the phone yet, but was hoping for a 240 dpi rom at some point. Some of the examples I've seen look great. For reference: Needs to be rooted and running a launcher like Nova. The settings are in build.prop, ro.sf.lcd_density=240. Then you can edit or use ROM Toolbox to get at them. There a few problems apparently, camera buttons are too small and a few apps, inc stock keyboard, FC's.

Borrowed these from avforums.

i've changed the density on my sgs2 but apparently these notes don't like it and some don't boot up properly afterwards.

might leave it until i see a few positive reports
