Hello all,
I'm due an upgrade in June and have my eye set on the Galaxy Note or the Galaxy S3. The one thing that compels me is the size of the screen on the Note, so I'm probably more inclined to the get the Note.
The only thing is, I don't want to buy the note and have the note 2 come out 2 months later, lol.
Maybe you guys can help me out here.

If you like to read and browse on a big screen then the note or the next iteration of the note is the solution. No contest there, anything less than 5 inch to me belongs to more of a phone. I am using the 4.7 inch HTC one x and the note, the 0.6 inch difference is missed when using the x. there are some occasion I wish a carry a smaller phone but on most occasion I am happy to fit the biggest size phone. The Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 on some occasion is perfect, yet the 5.3 for all occasion is perfect. Note 2 (700$~800$)won't be out international till November ish since that is when the original note got released. Buy note when possible keep it in good shape, resell and buy note 2. Dual core in euro note and lte note is adequate for most. So buy now and love life.

I agree - best phone on the market hands down... It's blazing fast, and there's really no need for quad core for any current use of a smartphone apart from tegra games, which you can run through chainfire. There has been no word of a note 2

get the note if you need/want the s-pen features.
Get the S3 is that's what it is, or get the Galaxy Nexus for ICS and JB
Don't wait for the Note 2 it wont be out till next year at the earliest.
There isn't any official information about the Note 2 yet, so you should go for either the Note or the upcoming S3.
Get the note, Samsung didnt realise how popular the note would be as such they never rolled it out quickly accross all the regions instead taking a staggered approach. The chances of a note 2 this year would be slim so enjoy what we have now
I think you should get the note if you love big screens like most of us here or get the S3 if you want more power and probably better spec which I am sure is going to be more expensive as well. But remember that there is always a better phone around the corner.
you should wait for the note 2
in the mean time use a string telephone
There is no announcement about the Note 2. Go buy the Note 1 now and skip a generation for the Note 3 and that way you'll always feel a significant upgrade.

What a pointless question! Should I get an existing only just released phone or wait for a fabled unicorn? Only you can answer that buddy. Personally, I'd go for a phone that is on the market (and amazing, by the way) rather than wait it out for the next generation which could still be years away!
S3 or Note - again only one of them is actually for sale (or has any firm specs) so you can't really make that decision either. If your contract is up in June, wait until then and see what is actually available at the time!
Pretty much everyone who has a Note will tell you how happy they are with it though. (Apart maybe the spoiled children who aren't happy we are having to wait for ICS )
Just get the Note. You could wait for Note 2, then for Note 3 etc. And the fact is that Note 1 is already amazing.
what about 3
You should wait for the note 3.... I dont understand people... You can also wait for the 4 i have heard it should be better...
Bought the Note now, it won't hurt you.
In matter of fact I do think this is one of my smartest decision i made. Definitely useable for work, for fun or just take a simple sketch

Whatever you buy and whenever you buy it, there's a always new model just around the corner, so there's no perfect time to buy. I can say that the Note is by far the best phone I've had - better than the S2 I had.

note 2 is planned for 2013. For 2012 samsung said they stay with the Note 1.

Is that like ICS for Note was planned for Q1 2012?!
I plan on buying a new phone (no budget limit), but since s4 has too many problems, people are advising to wait for note 3. what should i do? are there any other good phones like note 3 to be released?
also s4 is only 16 gb in india, will this a problem with note 3 also? 32 will be available in india?
thanks!
Have a look at Nexus 4 abilities...this phone surely rocks :beer:

Better hardware bigger screen I'd say yes but are you referring to the regular S4 or S4 Active? Either way I still think the newer S4s are better.

S4 Active is better than the S3. S3 is better than original S4 in my opinion. My daughter has an S3 and I had the original S4 before I got my Active and I thought the S4 was extremely laggy. I compared both and I liked her phone better. Just a opinion here, no need for anyone to flame.

Same here. I am using a regular s4 and I find it laggy , my old note 2 was way more fluid.

I would agree with you if you compare the S3 Stock TW, vs the S4 Stock TW, i, but when both were running Nova Launcher, the S4 was definately smoother than the S3. Theres also a small bit of lag in 3D applications on the S3 that isnt present on the S4, and a few random frameskips making 2D applications not smooth on the S3. Those minor problems is what mainly bugged me with the S3, and i'm happy they arent present in the S4.
I dont know i mean the S4 I9500 is laggy and the S4 I9505 is much more fluid but when i use my girlfriends S3 then i feel a huge diffrence in proformance because the hardware is old and the S4 feels more fluid my answer is S4 I9505
Sent from my GT-I9505G using xda app-developers app
I have the regular s4 and I have to say that after having the s3 , and the galaxy note 2 is a disappointment.
I'd say the s4 runs far more laggish than both note 2 and s3.
I suppose this may very well be different in a couple of months with the developers in the scene but right now it is like it it's
Well the thread name practically says it all.I have a small possibility to trade my note plus some money to get a S3 . What do you say ?, is it worthy?.I mean , by simply looking at the specs someone could say that s3 has some better specs (better cpu, more os support),still it has smaller screen too.So please share your thoughts about this, as i could be getting it this week probably.
Get the s3 if you don't use the spen and don't mind a slightly smaller screen size. Everything else is better on the s3.
S3... or s4

May be kitkat will do the same to s3 as JB did to note. On paper yes it is a better phone but the screen is what I cannot take.
if u care about the screen quality, especially amoled pure black screen,then dont trade with s3.. i recently buyed s3 and compare it with my note, the black color are not deep enought compare to note pure deep black color.
but if u like perfomance then trade it
for me note are more satisfied than s3..
As the title states, now I know that our devices say that they support up to 64GB but I have seen other phones (a long time ago, Desire HD and the like) using memory cards they were never designed to be used with, just wanted to know if anyone had tried it and if so how did it go? Did it work did it make the phone any slower?
Sandisk has said that it's compatible but i'd just like to hear what people have experienced.
Cheers.

I highly doubt that it'll stay that price for long once it becomes mainstream, with 4K video set to become the standard over the next few years i'd expect people to be picking this sized memory card up soon so yea if you want to get in there early then 100 quid isn't that bad.
Bare in mind that the jump between iphone memory sets is £100 when a new one is released check the prices, 16GB 32GB and 64GB all £100 difference between them.
So not only would people pay this but they do already.
Not to mention that if you roll back time a little the 64GB card wasn't exactly cheap when it came on the scene.
Also this thread is a question, not a general discussion.
There's a huge difference between buying a 16GB-64GB phone, than buying a 16GB phone then buying a 128GB sd card, especially with kitkats limitations with sd cards

I have the card and is working fine. All I can say is that isn't fast. Max speed you will have is about 15/20 Mb/s writing(Rarely) as the Mobile Ultra. Honestly I prefer my 16 Gb Extreme Pro(I have had 104 Mb/s writing files).

I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm merely saying that for the average user, anything more than a 32GB or 64GB is too expensive, and yes the price will come down, but then they'll develop 256GB, how long before we have terabyte cards? They already do terabyte pen drives but they're not affordable to the average user

I'll look into SDFix, it appears to be a very clean looking app, but as for the modification that it does, does it extend the usage of your internal memory or simply put the rules of the SD card back to the way that it was on 4.3 and previous versions? That's kind of what it says on their play store page.
If thats the case then it is different to folder mount which literally enables you to grab a folder from within your internal stoage and move it to the ext card then the previous folder can be deleted, 100% space back.

Yea you're right i'm not disputing that mate, i've already got a 64GB myself. Picked it up for £38 when they were just becoming mainstream.
All I wanted to know was what people experience was with them, I honestly don't care about the price or whether or not it's too big for some people, everyone's different.
Also I don't need to re-read your post, I read your statement, which was no answer to what I had asked, it was simply your opinion and of no help to me, sorry.
128GB SD-Card speed issue on 4.4.4
I bought my 128gb-card yesterday and I noticed a HUGE speed difference between android 4.3 and 4.4.4. On 4.4.4 it's EXTREMELY slow, but the speed is good on 4.3. Anyone else facing this issue? My Roms are: 4.4.4 - slimkat AMD (evo 9) and 4.3 - romaur 1.2.
Try installing pimp my z1 and change some SD card read ahead and some different I/o schedulers
