So I officially jumped ship last night and got the skyrocket. Thank you all for keeping it real. This is a great forum and I'm sad to leave but alas there are more cores and faster downloads ahead and I must (as I'm sure many will follow) press on. Thanks again. Maybe I'll see some of y'all over there in time.

I don't know about calling them retards, as that's a touchy word. However, ignorant and misguided, yes.
This phone is truly the future. It has so many capabilities. The S Pen may be seen as gimicky by some people, but I feel that they are just jealous or uninformed that it is more than a stylus. The big beautiful screen may seem unnecessary to some, but I guarantee that if they actually used it for a while, they would see that there are endless benefits to it. Unless you wear girl jeans or some serious nuthuggers, the Note is definitely pocketable. And if you're wearing those types of jeans, you should also be carrying a purse, which makes pocketability a non-issue. Also, using a device one handed is nice, but is it really necessary? When is a time that you should REALLY be using your phone where you can't use two hands? If your hands are full, I'm sure you can either set the stuff down to answer a call, otherwise I'm sure that text or email can wait.
People complaining about the pentile display are just stupid. Yes, on lower resolution devices, it was annoying. I could clearly see the pixels on my Cappy, but I dealt with it because it really isn't that bad. However, on the Note, the resolution is so good that from a normal using distance, you really can't see the pixels. Anybody who thinks this statement is ridiculous, go play with the thing and see for yourself before bashing pentile.
Also, for those who are self-conscious about holding the Note up to their head for a call...really? People are more likely gawking at how awesome of a phone you have, and curious as to what it is, not judging you for using such a large device. And since when does what a stranger thinks about you matter so much to people? You're likely to never talk to them, and I'm sure if you did, the Note would be a great conversation starter, rather than a point for them to criticize you on.

Was out looking at tabs today.. they all suck.. my sr screen looks better and does the same thing..so..
The Samsung Note will be awesome .. no doubt.. heard it will be coming to ATT&T.. but I might just get the unlocked version instead.
I like big phones.. love the SR and the Note will be best of both worlds..
Not to mention the screen on the Note is beautiful!!
I'm with you on that. I can't wait for an LTE version of the Note to come to AT&T. However, I'm curious to see if people will be able to do much ROM work on this tab due to the specialized software that it's running. Other than rooting the phone and getting superuser access to it, I'm not sure you can mess with a lot of it's functions without losing a lot of it's digitizer functions.
I hear you on that, but I'm sure they will have something in the works...Heck the Note will be great as is..but its nice to "play" with them.
Its anybody's guess when Att&t will get it.. It will be soon I'm sure.. with the Nexus coming from Verizon.. The Note would be a perfect answer to the Nexus.
I love that "Pen" that comes with the Note..
I would pay $300 or more for the Note at Att&T no question.

Looks more and more like US version will be similar to the LTE version in Korea with the Snapdragon processor. Considering that the Nexus starts at $299 with contract, I won't be surprised if this one starts at the same price or even at $349.

So am i to understand that the NOTE will NOT have the Exynos Proccesor and instead the snap dragon when it comes to the US. BUT if i buy it from the UK it will come with the 1.4 exynos dual core??
thats retarded. if this is true i will be buying the NOTE next week and not wait for it.
Do you guys all like the Note that much? It's so big, even the SR is a little big for my taste. The extra screen space is nice, but when it's no longer practical to use as a phone, then doesn't defeat it's purpose? Maybe it's just me, but when the Streak came out and I saw people with them pressed against their heads, I just shook my head.

I love big phones.. I will get the Note... I don't put the phone to my head anyways.. use speaker..
I mean who talks on the phone these days?
It just arrived through ups.
Its the LG G2X, and I'm extremely jealous looking at all the cool features it has, not to mention it's dual core.
I just took it out of the box, and looked at it.
Didn't turn it on or anything, because, well, its her Christmas present...
So i am pleading to you guys to give me some good reasons why I shouldn't stick my phone in that box, and pretend that's the new phone she got, while I sneakly keep the g2x as if it has been my phone all along.
Octane 3.0 themed version. Gotta wait until its available and you've tried it before jumping ship Other than that, umm I moved to a G2X myself. But I still have the SGS4G. Umm reasons to stay with it..... battery lasts noticeably longer, screens brighter, speakers alot louder! Other than that I love my G2X
Yeah, the g2x does look pretty badass.
Oh well, guess I'll just have to be satisfied with modding and hacking it for her, lol.
Best of all is, it was free, just by adding it to my family plan.
I would swap it. Seriously.

I'm actually killing two birds in one shot here, since a camera is the other thing she's been begging for.
8mp and flash.
I'm a huge fan boy of Samsung.....amazing engineering and well priced for excellent product!
So naturally my first Samsung was captivate! then the skyrocket! Omg what a phone! Bigger screen crisper resolution.....no lag.....front facing camera! Thank you Samsung!
Then fate handed me a GNote! With a stylus! (my first smart phone had a stylus and I was devastated that they started phasing them out) this phone has a huge huge screen. Beautiful white body with great cameras. Everything and more then the skyrocket had. The phone does feel a tad bit bulky...one handed operation can be difficult...but once you get used to it....there is no turning back. I fell in love and the extra function of the s pen has added an extra dimension to smart phones today. I can take a picture of myself and customize a message to my wife. Not a generic template that every one with access to market place can use. But I can create a masterpiece and personalize everything for each person.
If you're thinking of getting a new phone the obvious choice is the GNote! How many processors do you truly need? If you need more then two...grab a PC. The real estate this phone offers is surreal combined with the ability to use the s pen to personalize every single message you send to someone is beyond worth the upgrade. Also the s pen can input complex formulas and mathematical problems that go into my calculus course....about to try it on my discrete mathematics class.
Go for it. Now who wants to buy a skyrocket??

LOL! Funny - I'm going back from a Note to a Skyrocket despite the fact that there's allot I enjoy about my Note. I love the screen, but I never find myself using the S-Pen like I thought I would and it's just too big for me to take it around on my belt easily (I get out and about a fair amount). I really like my Note it and may keep it as a backup (if I can afford to), but it's just not working out for me on a daily basis like I thought it would.
Far too large for me..

Well to each their own . You realize the hardware (processor-ram) is the same as skyrocket? So speeds are technically the same. Atleast I read they were. I could be wrong.
They are both great phones....but skyrocket is just too small a screen. I do alot of reading ebooks and webpages so the note is perfect for that.
So anyways...I love them both

I like the size of the note for playing around, but for ME it just isnt practical. That and the fact that me and my friends get a good laugh everytime we see someone holding the note to their ear talking on it.
I'm already close to my limit fitting my Skyrocket in my pocket yet alone a Note.. that thing is huge.

I had a note. I use my phone A LOT. The note was hurting my hand holding it all day and using the pen. So I traded for a skyrocket. I really really tried to like the note. You can make smart phones as large as you want, you can make one the size of a bus that you have to put a sim card in. But there has to be a line drawn somewhere, and for me, the note was just to big. Not to mention I was never seld conscious until I was holding that thing to my ear. If you want real estate, get a tablet. For me, the skyrocket is about as big as im comfortable with. To each his own, but its nonsense to try and convince someone otherwise, everyone knows what they want and can afford out of a phone, and will buy accordingly.
I had a Note for about two months, sold it.
Sorry, but you (anyone) look ridiculous using that phone, plus it's laggy (even custom ROMs) and it garnered too much attention from people for my taste.

Don't regret it at all lol if you root and unlock, I'm almost positive you'll get a lot of features from the sgs4. I hope so!

I agree. And some will come. But the devs will do their best to bring us what they can.

S4 is not worth the upradeI would like to see if I can put the battery in the s3 though
Will get it asap I skipped the s3 glad I waited for a better resolution screen and new features.

Although it seems like a great device, I don't see that "wow" factor over the s3. I have like 5 upgrades that I could use and it still doesn't seem worth it. The software will eventually make its way over here. My hardware never seems underpowered and my battery life is great so my real world upgrade would be for a nicer screen.
You know I bought this phone on the premise that even if loaded with bloat the Snapdragon processor in here should be enough to handle it and still provide seamless screen transitions, etc.
Sadly it seems that this phone is laggy. At times when screen transitions it will "stutter" or otherwise "hesitate" causing a poor user experience.
So I did tweak my ROM up some, disabled most of the bloat and the experience is now what I would have expected from it stock.
I also understand that I am coming from my own tweaked ROMS on other high end devices but I just expected more from this.
What do you all think? What phone did you come from?
Yay another thread about the lag lol

Can you post where, I want to read up on it. I will close this thread as well.
Will you be creating clean Rom for this?

Yeah, I am debating whether or not to keep this thing.
Its nice but I was kinda expecting more punch from it. Plus its just line I dont need as I also want to keep my Verizon line so its up in the air right now.
I did stock rooted ROMS already from the latest OTA dumps but have not posted them pending testing.
I still have 12 days left to decide....

Most of them have been locked, but heres the more popular ones:

Honestly with the bloat frozen this phone is nearly the same as my s3 was out of the box "lag" wise. I love it...
Really hope you decide to stay around, have only ever heard great things about clean rom but have never gotten to try it!

Exactly, its the same as an S3 with 1/2 the processing power.
I have Note II and S3 ROMS that are much smoother... I guess its going to be hard to judge until I can tear it apart and do some tweaking to the OS more. It sjust my Note II, stocked seemed faster.
I dont know yet. Just trying to gather opinions. I am sure Samsung will smooth it up. They made huge strides with the Note II.
I'll check out your links tonight. Thanks for posting them!
I was thinking about returning it for the one which is smooth as hell

I have come from the note 2 as well and its unreal to realize the lag on this. Ive only froze the at&t bloat thinking it was enough but damn....its pretty bad.
Stock Note 2 smashes this. Im hoping if/when the bootloader gets unlocked, scrosler and other devs can make this GS4 into what its meant to be...a beastly device.
For now...its tolerable but its bad now because I expected more from a flagship phone.

Hey Scrosler, loved your One X roms! As far as the lag goes, it does definitely seem that my S3 was faster. It's made it hell deciding on whether I should keep my S4 or HTC One, since I was going to originally take the One back. Aside from the stuff you probably did already, try disabling the lock screen animation as well as disabling the home button from accessing S Voice (double click the Home button, then go to settings to disable). These are the two things that seemed to have helped the most with lag issues. Still not perfect by any means, but it's much improved. Now if I could just do something about the damn keyboard lag..

What about gaming. My girlfriend has the s4 and we did a head to head comparison of vice city and her one ran it smoother. That makes no sense to me.

My wife is not experiencing any of this prolonged lag. Consider us lucky. Ours is pretty solid. The first time I did notice lag was while unlocking the phone with the "majestic twinkle" effect. It did it intermittently. Turned that effect off. Now unlocks smooth. Also turned off all transitions. Much better. Theres no stutters or lag spikes. Its pretty darn good. For a stock experience we are satisfied. If Scot does decide to develop for this phone I am confident it will be CleanRommed.
Comparing it to my Note 2 running cleanROM is totally unfair though
Mines snappy idk what you guys are talking about!
Scott keep it! You leaving the One was a big reason why i switched, and a few of the other inconveniences that comes along with an HTC

Hope you stay Scott as I love your ROM's as well...
But I would not blame you one bit if you ditched it!
I am seriously debating selling mine ( I paid full price ) and picking up a Nexus 4 but will wait until Google i/o before deciding what to do..
Same thing here I'm used to using my own ROMs, so there is that adjustment
But Scott as you know there is only so much that can be done with a ROM at the end of the day Samsung will have to adjust some things which then gives us a better base to work from, I'm sticking with this one till nexus 5 is out
Just my 2 cents

I will tell you this...
I had both and the One is 10x more smooth. Thats why I felt let down with this phone. I have to shut off / freeze damn near everything to get acceptable performance out of it. I know in time Samsung will improve but I am dealing wiht the here and now...

Thats what I am saying, stock Note II blows this away but the benchmarks are just the opposite.

Yeah, I tweaked it pretty hard, minor stuff like build pror, caching, etc. Similiar to what I would do if I had a ROM built around it but... still..

Yep, I am sure of it. I dont think Samsung has the experience in building with 4.2.2...

Yeah, but you turned off the cool parts which I like. I always set my transistions to 50%, even in my ROMS but I wont turn them off. The twinkle affect should cause stutter after its done. I see lag just backing out of the Play Store to the desktop it will sometimes stutter. Not just the occasional lock screen lag in which I know you are referring to.

lol, I guess in a way I feel bad... But i never told anyone to buy the phone I do :crying:
I really dont know if I am going to keep this one. Its a whole differnt carrier, and a whole new line that I really dont need. And with the current level of performance its hard to justify keeping it.
This is why I started the thread. To see if it was me and my expectations or if the phone really is laggy.... And from the feedback, its laggy, its not just me.

Yes, I totally agree and I think its Samsung lack of experience with Snapdragon on 4.2.2.
I have Nexus 10 which is not as powerful as this phone but its a Sammy processor and there is ZERO lag with dual cores at 1.4 or is it 1.5 GHZ. And thats at nearly 4x the pixels that this has.
I was just expecting this thing to scream when I first got it...
Disable and android go hand and hand since the g1. My only problem with the os is the hardware needed to make this a smooth experince , a lot of work needs to be done with android. Its a great platform but nothing is perfect I guess
But hey android is getting better and better.
