[Q] What is the first thing I should do with my Galaxy Note

Hi All,
I'm new here so be gentle. I've had android phones for a couple of years now and love them.
I am eagerly awaiting delivery of my new Galaxy Note tomorrow ....so what do you all think the first things I should do with my new toy should be?
Root it?, cool apps?
Ideas please.
Cheers all.
Neil Luck
Read all QA , general section thread.
Then read 1 St link of my signature how to root, read it twice, thrice till you make everything clear. Then root n then proceed to development section
Well, I'd try charging it hehe.
I don't root my devices, for some reason. After being on the iPhone for a year, I find Android REALLY open and I don't need anything else. So many good apps!
I installed an application that backs up all my calls, sms, mms to my google account (great way to keep track of everything), and I restore from MyBackup Pro.
I install some fun casual games, a good ebook reader, and tested the camera out hehe. Great device. By the time I got all that stuff done, it was dying and I gave it a first charge. Fantastic device. You'll love it!
Wow
So I got my Galaxy Note and all I can say is Wow
Once fully charged and turned on for the first time the first thing you notice is the screen quality, it is just awesome!!
I'm finding the size to be just about perfect for me.
I've added a load of apps and played with the camera which is pretty good quality too.
I can't think of anything so far that I can gripe about, it is a superb device.
What have you guys done regarding a case for yours?
No case for me but I have a good screen protector installed. No harm in being safe right?
Glad to hear you're enjoying the Note!

How has the gs4 help up as a life assistant (companion)

I know its life companion but they definitely meant it more as assistant (at least I hope so). But ya mine has been great. I really love the TV stuff, its actually really useful. S health isn't bad, and it runs all the apps I could possibly need. I don't know why, but I've been using their calendar and stuff and it integrates well. The eye stuff is actually useful. I love the rotation and the video pause. Camera is actually awesome and goes great with my bitcasa subscription. The multi window is another feature that is actually more useful
The hover thing is cool but more of a novelty, I wish they would have integrated it more. S voice sucks, its soo slow and gets text wrong all the time.
At the end of the day it doesn't really feel much more like a life assistant any more than other smartphones (I wouldn't call it a life companion or a life assistant) , but its defiantly a great smartphone.
So how do you feel the phone has held up to being a life companion/assistant ?

I love mine. She gets me lol. I'm not sure why your S Voice isn't working properly. My texts are very accurate. I rarely have an issue with it. I can't wait to use S Health when I go on my hiking trip at the end of this month. Nothing but positive feedback from me.
P1NK13P13 are you running TriForce 3.0 on baseband MF9 ?
Yes sir, I am... ♥ it!

The TV remote and app is a cool extra, gps, bluetooth, nfc, camera all work great. I turned off all of the other extra features and just use it like a smartphone. I dont talk to my phone or wave at it or anything like that. It is best phone I have ever used and battery life is excellent. Getting up to 2 days with normal usage and a full day with heavy usage.
I don't use any samsung stuff, running ge. but I really love the hardware, it is so much faster, better in battery then the s3. not to mention the screen and camera. but really I use it like the last 2 galaxies before it. I really liked multi Window though.

Voice control with music app is very handy. When people try to talk and you say "pause" then give them the look to go ahead and talk blows their mind. I still haven't learned all features but the Sammy commercials hit the nail on the head when people see my gs4.

Not ready for primetime

Pretty disappointed after picking up my gear last week. I'm going to give it a month before I dump mine for sale if they don't start putting out useful apps for it. Seems like half the stuff is pushed out with bugs and semi working or not working at all. Half the apps in the store (gee there really isn't much) hang on install, fail to work correctly or are just junk that you don't need. Is it really that hard to offer an app that would let you read your full email body on it, or an app that would give you facebook updates on it without reading them on the phone, or a watch making app that actually tells time and doesn't lock up 4 times a day? Samsung should just change its name to the Galaxy gear beta edition. I understand the 30% return rate on them now after owning one.

I don't really get where people find the time and energy to post like this. Get a refund and move on with your life, already.
The galaxy gear is awesome (and so is the pebble, the sony smartwatch, etc. Can't wait to see what Google and Apple do)
Samsung has really knocked this out of the park and showed us the potential of wearables - probably better than anyone - and how they're so obviously going to be the future.
Samsung has been innovating incredibly well lately. I really hope Microsoft/Google/Apple up their game and keep up!
Well...it is indeed lacking a lot of features that should be there right out of the box but I am sure you have done your research before you bought the watch. I did do my research and I am quite happy with the watch. I wouldn't buy it at $300 but at $210 with tmobile discount 30% off, this is not a bad buy at all.
I never once had a problem with installing apps from Samsung app store. Their selection is really small and apps are not that great but it never hang or fail to install for me. You can also sideload apps as long as they don't require access to internet if you don't mind some extra steps of installing.
Reading email would be a nice thing but I don't see myself using the tiny screen to read email. I would rather want to do it on the phone.
Facebook update sure would be nice.
Never lock up 4 times a day but then I don't use watch styler app or custom face.
Also please try the ATN app. It helps with all the notifications that I need the watch to show such as whatsapp and whatever others app you might need.
Could it be better ? Sure. Will it get better? Of coarse it will !
There's nothing BETA about it, its simply a new consumer product which hasn't boomed yet.. once the developers gain interest you can bet your ass your going to see some amazing stuff from the gear.
Anything Samsung related on the watch works extremely well, could they have included additional features sure. But why would they ? Its a Samsung device providing support with Samsung products/applications straight out of the box.
All the things listed can be easily resolved via software updates, or third party software. Eg. ATN.
Any complaint you have about the gear will have the same complaubt about the new sony smart watch. Its new. Do your homework before you buy something.

Eh, I love mine (got the 30% off deal) but I agree with the OP and am disappointed with the small amount of apps in the Samsung store... and at least half of it is junk. A big reason for that is because Samsung is being weird about releasing the SDK to the public, I wish they'd get on with that soon. Though I think (I hope) the situation will get a lot better soon when they release official updates for S3, S4, Note2 to make them compatible with the Gear.
I have to disagree with the OP. The gear is amazing. I don't have problems installing apps and I think some of them are pretty good like watch styler. The only thing I don't like about the gear is that it doesn't show notifications for third party apps and I hope Samsung releases an update enabling notifications for all apps.

I love my Gear.
Has all the Apps I want.
Anybody that takes the time to find this forum should know,
You do not have to get all the Apps from the Samsung Store.
A member of XDA has a solution for notifications, many people use it and like it.
Do not know about facebook, could care less about facebook.
Sounds like the OP thinks the device replaces a smartphone,
A smartwatch tells you at a glance if the message you get is worth pulling your smartphone out.
Who other than the OP, has every had any problems with the Gear Locking up?
Who other than the OP can not find a way to tell time with the Gear?

I LOVE my gear watch
For me SVoice/Phone integration/Camera is what makes this watch, and also of course the notifications. Really don't care about apps (Although Tripit, Evernote and MyFitnessPal are nice).
It's like google glass on your wrist!
eing able to reply to messages by voice from my wrist in the car is awesome. I never hear anyone talk about these great features when they are griping about the watch.

Well lets see....
Cant even hear a call unless your in a quiet room
Cant reply to a txt with s voice unless its dead silent or s voice gets it wrong
Facebook app turns your phone settings so it speaks every stupid thing its doing
watch making app STILL locks up daily your clock
every other day updates to gear manager trying to fix something without a update list to give you a clue
installing apps hang alot
some dont work or give you just a blank watch face when you try to open them
Guess all the posts in the gear forum are made up
I quit flashing roms and tinkering since my HTC MDA days, I just want a product that works out of the box I guess
Every review is the same.. so so on it. Return rate is high also. The few that love them, great, tinker away with yours. When I can read my 3rd party apps emails, pick from 100s and 100s of apps maybe Ill dig it. Till then its a beta toy as far as im concerned. i knew it when i got it just didnt expect it to be this crappy I guess.
I'd like to know how many of the returned watches are due to either people not usually wearing a watch or because it wasn't compatible with their device
I've not had any of the problems mentioned here (mind, I didn't use watchstyler). Mic and speaker seem fine to me
Hardly any apps these days mention what has changed between versions so can't see that being a negative. Having to reset every time there is an update sucks though (however, the restore thing seems to go ok for the most part)
I just want my notifications to give more detail - mms to show pic, email to display html, sms/facebook/etc not be limited by character limit. It's all very possible going on the evidence
Couldn't care less about apps. Good to be able to sideload though

at least they are fixing things and not ignoring us

you must have faulty watch. . return it
the 30% who returned will buy again when new software comes out , Samsung will do lots of new things once it's compatible with all device . It's a clever divide I love it
if you have no friends and no one calls or text you and don't like taking quick pics is probly not for you

I'm loving my gear but can also appreciate where the OP is coming from. In the main I think the gear lives up to its expectations ax far as I am concerned.
The biggest issue I have is the lack of water resistance, and how it handles facebook notifications. I am hoping though that this thing gets better as time moves along. It does worry me however that work on the Gear 2 will already have started and we will end up with a non supported device quite quickly.

you have to be blind to call Gear a decent product. they had a great idea, but the execution is terrible and you may disagree with that, but you are lying to yourself. this needs so much work to become a decent product.

After reading your post, I had to REGISTER to reply.. :fingers-crossed:
Seems like you got a beef with the apps. Not the phone. You keep talking about bad apps, or not enough apps. Well they were selling out in my area, and I got mine on discount. Found out they were selling fast on Ebay. Purchased a couple more at discount, sold them for a profit. It seems like a lot of people think differently than you. We all understand this is a FIRST, you didn't expect this to first run to be PERFECT did you...
BTW, I am a layman, don't know JACK-CHIT, to be honest. I got the Note 3 on a humble, and since I was way over my head with the Note 3, I might as well go all the way..Got the Gear at $209.. Happy Camper...

Galaxy Gear late review

Hey all,
Just in case anyone is interested here is my obviously late and rather exhaustive review of the Gear, after using it for about three months mostly with the null ROM.
http://www.notjusthitech.com/2014/02/do-you-have-right-gear.html
Your comments are welcome!
Looking forward to Gear 2!
Entertaining read
null_ does not allow any more compatibility with other devices than stock does
Did you know that the Gear is Samsung's third go at smart watch?
SPH-WP10 (1999)
S9110 (2009)
Best non biased review I read.

Dude, with stock we cannot have BT tethering, am i wrong?
The two watches you mentioned are watchphones not smartphones, the way i see it.
Of course the first one i have only seen in photos and it was ugly as sin.
I was torn between the S9110 and the LG GD910 some years ago, but i found a great bargain for the GD910 and bought that one.
3G video calling from the wrist as well as BT stereo were the best things it offered. Decent battery life, as well. A good device.
Thanx for reading.

Yes, you need custom for bt tethering, just sounded like you could connect the gear to any phone and it'll work - which isn't the case

theres not a whole lot of content out for it unfortunately, but its been keeping satisfied with the cinema theater, and 360 photos
VR is the shiznit. If nothing else get for its value as a commodity; the first of its kind and exclusive to our phone. If I weren't so frugal, I'd probably get 2 and keep one unsealed. Either way, the value far surpasses the cost of admission.

You maybe able to find one in a local BestBuy. Some stores got demo versions but most didn't. If you were closer to Denver I would meet up with you and let you try. I too couldn't find any demo unit before I bought my Gear VR and that almost stopped me from even purchasing one. I didn't want the Gear VR to end up like my Google Glass, collecting dust. I am VERY glad it didn't stop me this thing is pretty damn awesome.

come to the samsung experience store, i work there, it located in
130 Prince street, New York, NY 10012
feel free to stop by tomorrow i work there,my name is Cary,i loved to give you a run down on the device,i i have one at home,and it off the hook,and bring ppl along we the first samsung store ever,so stop by and ask for me
Samsung isn't advertising the gear vr at all, cause of its Innovator Edition status. But Samsung experience stores should have it, also if your in NY Google a VR meetup in your area and you could probably try several types of vr if you wanted. I wasn't able to test it before I got mine either, but I figured if it was straight up junk I would just return it. Got it launch day and its by far worth every penny of that 200, especially if you already own a note 4. Honestly it's been amazing, from the games that under normal circumstances I would never play but in VR it's a whole different experience, to the oculus cinema which is downright awesome, loading my own 3D or 2D movies into. Last thing I got the controller too, most stuff doesn't need it but there's some cool stuff that does or it enhances the experience, I'd recommend one of those moga ones if the Samsung gamepad which I don't really like is out of stock.
