I was initially turned off of the Galaxy Gear 2 by the price, but I understand that there are some refurbs avaiable for $99, so I was wondering if anyone in the Note 2 forum on the stock rom has an opinion on it. I really only want to use it for email notification and as a controller of my Google Play music library.
I really figured that I was going to wait on Motorola's upcoming watch, but for $99 ...
Any difference in pre-tizen and post-tizen?
Thanks for your time.

I really like mine, but I don't think it will work with a stock Note 2 ROM, although you may be able to get notifications of you tweak it

Where have you seen refurbs for $99??
You're probably mixed up with the 1st gen or the neo.
My mistake...
Yes, you are quite right. I did mistake a Gen 1 for for a Gen 2.
The refurbs are available at the Best Buy website.
Sorry for the error.

You can get the Gear 2 Neo new for $150 from AT&T (even if you are not on AT&T).
See my post in the Gear 2 form general thread if interested...

is gear really necessary?
I just ordered a refurb Gear 1 from SlickDeals last week. It's out for delivery today so I can't give my opinion just yet. However based on what I read the only real difference is the heart rate monitor on the Gear 2. (Well as long as you upgrade to Tizen)...I think I will upgrade the Gear 1 to Tizen since I really don't need a 1 inch screen for viewing full blown Android apps! LOL I can barely see the screen on my Note 2 HAHAHA!!!

The biggest issue with technology is that there is always new and better coming out. It has been about 4 months after release. Am I late on this for $200 new and should wait for generation 3, urbane?

Good question. I am about to buy a like new one for $150 myself so I would love to hear some opinions.
Because of the slow response and my impatience, I decided to do a little googling. It looks like urbane and R are the same watch with a different shell.
I have no desire to get an additional data plan so Urbane LTE is out. The fact the regular Urbane is just a fancy case on a R., makes it reasonable for me to get the R.
Anyone got another view that differs what I said?
G watch r is a great watch still which is why I guess they used the same internals for the urbane. I still love my watch

I bought my R a couple weeks ago for 225 off eBay and do not regret it one bit. It's an awesome device that looks fantastic and performs just as good as it looks.
I bought my R on Feb 6th for full price LOL. I still love it, never leave the house without it. I never wore a watch before, even though I've bought a few over the years they never seem to stay with me long. The R is different, it does enough to make a few things easier for me that really makes it worth it to wear daily.
Just my two cents

It's never too late for this device. It's late if you think moto 360. But the specs of this device can carry it for following two years..
I own this watch for more than 2 months now and m in love with it.
Got mine like new for $150 and loving it so far. I do miss the old zgpax s5 I had which was a full blown phone into a watch format but that one had no real integration with my phone and well no where near battery life, screen quality or simple good looks.
I must find a deal for a new one. I expect price drop once the urbane release.
I must be looking in the wrong places. You guys managed to find an LG Watch R for $150-200? Brand new?
The closest I found was an international edition with no warranty at $270
^^^^^ Yeah. I just got it as a gift from my wife and I believe she paid 300$ at best buy. I would love to know if I can get it cheaper.
Since you can do pre-order for the Urbane for $460, they may keep the watch R in the line up at the current price... wouldn't be surprised by this. I have the LG Watch R and like it alot; I'm just so used to a heavier watch and actually prefer a heavier weight that it's taking me a while to get used to it. I got the aftermarket band that everyone links to (black stainless steel) but even that is really light. All in all it's a great watch the only real complaint I have is trying to read it in direct sunlight... it's impossible and you have to cup over the watch to read it. Other than that it's great.

I was thinking on getting the LTE when it came out but looks like it will have the Urbane looks which I dont like at all so I am holding to my Watch R for a while. :good:
I doubt anything better with a sweet price point will come out soon (the Urbane is already priced too high, and I think the Huawei will be dear too). I paid £200 (GBP) for mine. Not sure it's worth that much, although at least I'm not as foolish as the iFollowers and their ridiculous pricing.
I was able to get a moto 360 for $41 dollars with the sillie bestbuy deal. i may try to trade it in for a watch r.
but from reading recent articles, the updates has made it more comparable to the watch r.
slightly torn....
I've been holding out for the Urbane but someone made an interesting point. The G Watch R can be dressed down or dressed up. I can wear it with a suit and tie or with jeans and sneakers. The Urbane seems more of a suit watch.
Same internals. Same specs. I'm gonna pick up the R from Google. I haven't seen it priced lower and I'm not into used products. My Galaxy Gear is 2 years old and on it's last tooth.
Okay, so I've been playing with this thing for the last hour. Long enough to know it's being shipped back to Google. Highly disappointed with the watch and Android Wear. I can't believe how much of a crap experience this is.

Good for you. We will miss your great insights...BYE
Hey, don't take it personally. Android Wear is crap and this G Watch R is a POS. I thought my Gear had terrible battery life. I left home at 8 o'clock with 100% battery life. It's presently 9:43 and the battery is currently at 56%! This is with screen always off. Says I have at most 2 hours before it's dead! What kinda crap is this?
Why do people get defensive when someone states their opinion? I've been on XDA longer than most and this new crop of members have very thin skins. It's not like you own the company or coded this crap software - well unless you did in which case you need a new day job.
And to answer the OP's question - Yes, yes, run like hell in the opposite direction from anything with Android Wear on it. It's not ready for prime time.
I just got it through verizon. I could of bought it from ebay new for 800 something but paying 40 something a month for 24 months is just better for me at the time being even though its like 200 more. I absolutely love it! it really is a perfect phone at this point of time. I only got the 128 gb version. does the verizon version have roms and stuff? would you?
got the blue 128GB version from ATT
not a single regret will use for at least 4 years +
not looking to custom rom or even root it not even dev mode is enabled
I'm sick and tired of that stuff tbh ^^^ it just all werks now
Got a Black 128 N960FD, bought it outright.
It's certainly worth the money if you ask me, imo best android phone of 2018.
Would love to have the option to install a custom ROM, obviously it's possible on the N960FD but Samsung illegally voids the warranty if you do, so won't be happening for a while.
Yes, it's worth the money. True flagship not a crippled one.
Display is probably the best in the market with curved QHD+
Stereo speakers. OS liking is subjective but I like how Samsung has improved over the years from S3(my first flagship phone) with no lags.
Only downside coming to N9 from OnePlus is the charging time. It takes more than an hour to charge completely.
I got it for 700$ so I'm happy
56k INR and am not complaining
I got my blue 512GB for £949 direct from Samsung because of the mess around got £150 off which for me was brilliant. I only pay about £35 a month for it for 24months on the upgrade programme which definitely works out great no interest and then only have an £8 sim only deal. When I get round to trying to sell my oneplus 5 and put that towards the phone it should drop to about 25 a month aswell. I do feel it's a great phone. I've never really tried Samsung before. Charging is a pain plus I'm using wireless charge when ever I do and there have been 2 or 3 times already when I haven't placed it on my wireless dock properly so it's not charged. And I dont think battery life is what its cracked up to be tbh. But overall it's a very nice phone.
I love this device, BUT, if I hadn't of got 20% off the price, there is NO WAY I would of paid the full price. In my opinion, it is definitely not worth the stupid amount of money they are charging.
It's worth every penny! You just don't get such a complete package anywhere else. Pretty much no compromises. It felt like a decent upgrade from the Note8 which was excellent too. It's very significant, even though it's only an incremental upgrade! This phone just has everything I ask for in a smartphone. Signed my new work contract with the S Pen! How cool is that?!
I have the 128GB variant but I also have my 128GB Samsung MicroSD Card from my Note8, so I can't complain about storage!
Pre-Ordered it with EE for £68 / month with 60GB of Data and unlimited everything. Got Apple music for 6 months with it to replace my £10/month of Spotify or Google Play, so It's like £58 for the first 6 months.
Also, I found Apple Music better than both!
I paid about $600 (net cost after selling my Note8 on Swappa), and got a free AKG NC BT headset, free Dex station, free wireless Duo charger, and a free Note9 adapter for my previous Note8 GearVR. I'm happy with that combination. No complaints about the phone.
I've had this thing for two days now and yes, it is the only $1000 phone that actually justifies its price. Design, features, battery, spen, beautiful screen and stellar performance. Tried the iPhone Xs max for a couple of days and got bored with it the first 15 minutes. This phone is amazing. Not regretting any penny spent on it. Got it through tmobile for zero $ down at $850. Not bad. Gonna keep it for a while.

I've got to admit I'm not bothered about modding it in any way. Touchwiz used to be so bad on older phones but now I think it's a dream
Worth the money? Heck yes.
I traded in my S9 with TMO jump, 0 down. Never owned a real flagship phone like the Note 9. Hands down best performance, speed, battery life I've ever had on any phone.
Once you go midnight black, you never go back!
Would you guys switch from a Note 8 to a Note 9? Debating since I like having the more internal storage.

Yeah it is worth it for more storage and a bigger battery
Was at first hesitant about upgrading from the note 8. After having done it, I'm pleased with the decision.
Coming from a Note 8 I'm happy. I gave my wife the Note 8 and traded her S8+ in that had quite a bad pink hue to the screen. I got the phone for $765 after taxes and trade in. This is the best bang for the buck for what's out there and no notch.

I upgraded from N8 to N9. No regrets here. It's not really that much of an upgrade. Day to day performance, you won't notice any difference. The camera is improved, and the Bluetooth S-Pen is cool. I actually like how the new pen feels in my hand. It's just a hair thicker. And I know EVERYONE had the Deep Ocean Blue color, but I love it. Absolutely beautiful color. And I personally like the contrasting yellow pen.
I paid $700 for mine on eBay. T-Mobile version. Barely used. It still had the factory plastic on the frame! And the original owner put a clear protective skin on the back and had a screen protector on it. So it was perfect. All new unused accessories and a Speck Grip case. It was a great deal!!

I kept my Note 8 as my backup phone, and sold my Pixel 2 XL.
So it's that time of year again when a new and honestly beastly lime of Samsung flagships is announced. The Galaxy S20 line looks legitimately promising but is it enought to give up the Note 9 and S pen though? Or are you gonna wait to see what the Note 20/+/Ultra has to offer a few months down the line.
I wanna see everyone's view on these new phones that ol Sammy has announced. I'm personally on the fence. I want the new tech but I just know the Note line will blow it out of the water later this year so it leaves room for a potential bait and switch lol.
What about you all?
Note line for me. Still have my Original Note1,2,3,4,5,FE,8,9,10...gonna see what Note11(20) has in store. If anything like the S20 I I'm sure it will be a beast.

I'm intrigued with just about any new midrange to flagship phone that comes out.
However, I usually steer clear of the S lineup for a few reasons.
1) No S-Pen. I rarely use it, but, it's nice to have when you want/need it. The price difference between the top of the line S series & the Note is negligible considering you get the S-Pen & usually some newer hardware/software features.
2) I don't particularly care for the curves on the S series, preferring the boxier look of the Note.
3) The hole punch. Yeah, you can (probably) hide it, just as you can on the Note 10, but, that kinda sux that you sacrifice screen real estate for a cleaner look. The fact that all the marketing pix hide it w/dark gradient wallpapers & having a software option to hide it is an admission that it's an awful stopgap before the hidden FFC's are available.
I'd be lying if I said I'm not tempted to get the S20 Ultra. The 5G speeds alone are definitely appreciable, both the Note 10 & OP7T Pro are definitely snappier with it. However, the eye-watering price of $1400-$1600 USD is a hard pill to swallow.
The only way I'll jump ship is if pre-order trade-in offers on the carriers (T-Mobile US here) is a lot better than the $300 that Samsung is offering. Otherwise, I'm hanging on to the Note 9 until the Note 20 arrives, or longer. Mine is running just as well as it did on opening day & battery health is still around the 95% range,kinda hard to trade it in for the measly $210 that T-Mobile is currently offering. (Not particularly interested in bothering with listing it on Swappa & the like, last time I checked,way too many available for sale,it's a buyer's market)
In the meantime, I scratched my itch for new hardware yesterday.
T-Mobile slashed the price of their Pixel 4 lineup:
Pixel 4XL was $899,sale price as of 2/12/20: $499.
Pixel 4 was $799,now 50% off as of 2/12/20: $399.
Got it (4XL) on T-Mobile's JOD, $0 down & free overnight shipping, ETA 2/14/20.
Will use it as a daily driver for the first week or two, long enough to determine if it's a keeper (for a backup/secondary phone) or, send it back during the buyer's remorse grace period.
Is the S20 worth getting?
I wouldn't fault anyone who doesn't want to wait for the next Note to land, but, I'd definitely stay away from the smallest one, as it doesn't have the MM Wave variety of 5G. Yeah, I know 99% of the US doesn't even have it available, present company included, however, @ $1000, no sale here.

Still loving my note 9. I see no reason to upgrade. Note9 still is peak smartphone for me. Note 10 was a step backwards (I don't like notches or holes in my display, and I like my headphone jack).
Note 11 or 20 or whatever likely isn't an upgrade for me either. Note 9 still goes two days on a charge unless I game on it, still fast as when I bought it, and still takes great photos. I'll wait until some of that changes.
My wife and I might be switching to something a little more stock related later this year. Just tired of bloat, crappy support when it comes to issues, and definitely something a lot cheaper. Maybe if Google does things right, I might just get two Pixel 4a/XL or whatever when they eventually come out? Not sure to be honest. OnePlus is now up there with the big guys in pricing so that might not happen. Don't know, but I do know that I will be keeping my Note 9 as a backup.

I'm gonna try my best to keep my 9 but I can't do pixels only because Google refuses to put in a micro SD card slot. That and the specs don't ever really impress me. There's never a wow factor. Besides it being stock Android there's nothing cool about it

Did you know cars have 4 wheels, and some even have 3? Brakes, windows, and engine, some gas, electric, diesel, and now hydrogen? They even have lights. Whoa. Wait, they should stop cloning each other!!!! I want a car without disc brakes!!! Needs to use polarity transfer for stopping before I buy it....
Bruh, it's called competition. You have to use some of the likeness of your competition if you're trying to tell their customers, "hey you can do the same thing over here, but a little cheaper." Well, you don't have to, but it sure makes it easier to win. I don't know what to tell you man. Go buy a windows phone? Oh wait those are the same too....
By the way, at the core of ios and android....same architecture...tsk, stupid clones, they're even using the same screens...?

Not liking the price though, it's getting to the point where it's outside my price range, no justification in spending so much on a pocket pc that can be damaged, lost or stolen so easily...
And the note lineup is gonna be so much more expensive than the S20 variants...
Nope, kinda pissed that the plain note 10 is smaller than the 9 the 10+ is the same size as the 9 so you pay more for less? I kind my full rounded screen. The notch hole punch, whatever their doing these days. I like having a whole screen. The biggest thing for me is personalization. You look at iPhone and everyone has the same layout and everything. With Android is free reign. I like being in control of my device more so than the other way around

And the note lineup is gonna be so much more expensive than the S20 variants...

Exactly!
I may skip yet another year in the Note upgrade game, & this is coming from someone who got the Note FE (still have it).
The Note 10+5G (T-Mobile US) is a beast,warts & all.
However, while the 5G speeds are nice,if you have already fast 4G LTE &/or Wi-Fi most of the time, it's a hard sell when you have a perfectly fine Note 9 & that's why I returned mine during the buyer's remorse period.
If the Note 20 is priced much more than the S20 Ultra, I'll probably sit out another upgrade & will continue to do so until my Note 9 battery takes a nosedive....

I'm actually waiting to see what Samsung does with the new note. I just came from IOS to Android and I've always loved the Note series but I couldn't afford the Note 10 + currently so i got the note 9 for like $350 and it's so damn good. By the time Samsung announces the new note I should be financially stable enough to get it on launch day so I'll be patient and continue to use this beast of a phone.
Ladies and gents the Note 9 is the goat! When the 10 came out with the hole punch I was not loving it but I tried the 10+ before I bought the 9 I was using my note 8 which was great but the battery was poor life otherwise note 8 was great. So the note 10+ I bought was having very poor reception and when I was gaming some of my buttons were near the hole punch and it was effecting game performance so I looked at note 9 specs and seen that it's the last note with headphone jack no hole screen and 4000mah battery! Plus when I had finally decided to upgrade from note 8 the 9 had been out a year and a half so the prices were coming down, I bought not 1 but 2 note 9 from Samsung on ebay for 349.99 brand new! I am fully prepared for this to be the last phone I ever use...
Hi Neighbors,
In fact I used all of them. Which one would you choose ?

S21ultra+two case+watch3 45 mm $1231
Pixel 5 $650 or something like that

Definitely Pixel 5, too much of a fan of the form factor. The iPhone is really pricy I'm not ready to pay that much, S21 is the same. I think I will never pay 1000$ for a phone, as much as I love that, they're just not worth 1 month of hard labor (espacially frickin samsungs that won't receive updates ever again).
I mean pixel little slow. But money saver great ui exprience a to z
iphone is basic but consistly good performance and good sell value
samsung just so many freebies
Ads on ui
Poor cam performance
No voice mail on us version

Exactly Thats my only concern thats why iphone 12 pro more handy than pixel 5 1’ bigger ant thicker frame
I end up ordering pixel 5 best buy open box excellent condition for $650 tax included.
Thank you neighbors it is too much $1200 for phone.
I own the pixel 5 and honestly, it is a decent phone but I would not say it is a great phone. The camera is decent but not a show stopper in my opinion. It is very affordable - and can be customized and rooted pretty easily, but frankly to my mind, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is the phone to get. Samsung consistently puts out the best phones with awesome cameras. It comes with a higher price but then you get what you pay for.
As for Apple - I personally do not like the Apple experience and will never buy an apple device. Just not for me. You have to make your own mind up based on what is most important to you. Best of luck.

Nothing perfect in the life. I am okay with pixel 5. I just picked up very happy so far
Pixel 5 is not even close to this other 2. S21U is the best without any doubt.

Yea i guess it's one of the reasons I refuse to upgrade my AT&T Note 20 Ultra to an unlocked S21 Ultra, since att version is sold out. Not worth the headache. Last time I've gotten an unlocked Samsung, SMS didn't work properly either
I was lookin ay my Pre-Order on Samsung.com and noticed that the delivery date for the device has changed - originally after buying it, Samsung posted a delivery Date of 1/27. Today, when I looked at the order it has changed to an expected delivery date of 1/29. I know it is only two more days, but I had my hopes up it would come early. Not sure why it changed - hope it still comes as they originally said.... anyone else see a shipping date change for their Samsung Pre-Order?

It is a great device however I hate see ads on ui and loosing basic features for that price I just couldn't. Able to make. It
so you'd never pay more than 1000 bucks on a phone yet you're asking people to tell you which phone to choose from 3 - where 2 are way more than 1000+
either you have nothing to do with your time or you're talking ****
