Hi folks, Anyone have any idea whether the current version of the Note will start shipping with ICS at some point or will users always have to upgrade from GB?
yes, there's a possibility. the galaxy S2 manufactured from April onwards have started shipping with ICS (atleast in India). So I'm sure Note will also come with ICS on-board. But you may have to wait a lot.
after much consideration i decided to get samsung note in sg, but dont know when the stock come in with ICS installed

I bought the International Galaxy note N -7000 on May 7th 2012 at India. My phone did not have the S Note app as part of the Premium suite. S Memo and S planner are available.
I upgraded to ICS and still S note did not appear.
To verify, I checked the phone of a friend who bought his Note a week after i bought at a different city. His does not have the S Note either.
Does any one else have this issue?
No such issue here.
If you are experienced in flashing than flash one stock ROM. Simple
Be careful, read more before doing anything.
Follow Dr. Ketan's guide about this.
Cheers
I think the issue is that Samsung advertises a certain feature and does not provide it on the phone.
I want to verify if any other person who has bought the phone after April 15th has the same problem. I have a feeling the S Note was pulled to accommodate the free headset and the apps.
Good day Gentlemen,
I am in process of selling my HP TouchPad on ebay.
I am in need of some pre-sales help asap please....I am in the market for buying a tablet...original budget was to be £200 max until I came across the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 which sells on Amazon for £330.
I nearly bought the tab 7.7 last night in time for my holiday in mid June...until I realised two stumbling blocks...
1) The Tab 7.7 has Honeycomb 3.2 which out of experience is horrendously "laggy" / buggy (especially with an overlay like Samsung's poor quality Touchwiz) and is certainly extremely sub-optimal for tablets - ICS is much better. I have heard the 7.7 is indeed laggy etc.
2) I have read that the Galaxy Nexus (or whatever it will be named) official "Google Tablet" is due for release in July....
Problem number 2 makes it a foolhardy idea to purchase a Tab 7.7 especially at the cost of it compared to £150-£200 on the Nexus if it is only 4 weeks away...though I really want a tablet to take on holiday mid June ideally.
So what I need to know if possible please, is :-
"Whether anyone knows if the Nexus tablet is due for UK release in July or whether I'd be better just buying a Samsung Tab 7.7 now & keeping it for a couple of years and forgetting about the Nexus (at least until W8 WOA tablets arrive lol)."
I really would like to see stock version of ICS Android 4.0 on my next tablet.
Your kind assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks
Kind regards
Hey guys!
Do you think it's too late for me to buy the galaxy note n7000 (international version)?
I know that the N7100 (Galaxy Note 2) has been released and will launch mid-October~mid-November..
It even has pre-orders started on UK sites such as clove.co.uk and handtec.co.uk
I'm just wondering if you think it's a waste of money to buy the n7000 right now as opposed to paying 200 more dollars and buying the N7100.
I did the math and the Note n7000 in brand new is $540 at expansys-usa.com
and the Note 2 N7100 in brand new is $740 at clove.co.uk, handtec.co.uk...
Do you think I should go with the original or the new one?
ALSO!!!!!
******Do you guys know if the original note N7000 will have an update along with Jellybean such as the airview, new camera update and other features from the N7100?
In my opinion, keep your cash for now. Wait until some review sites get the device and check if there are any manufacturing defects or nasty software bugs. Its a temptation i know, but try to hold on for just a little longer. You can expect that soon after you get the device the new Nexus along with the new android version will be announced.
As far as the jelly-bean update for the Note is concerned, we are as clueless as you, there aren't any leaks yet. The safe thing would be to buy the Note II.
Note 1 will get the JB update very soon. Many of the software updates in Note 2 you should see in the Note 1.
With the Note 2 expected arrival, Samsung has already dropped the price of the Note 1. The Note 1 is still a awesome device.
Get the Note 1, I say.
Note 2 if you can afford it I must say..
Sold my Note 1 2 days ago for 22k and ordered by Note 2. It is officially launched in our country yesterday and will arrive in 3-4 days at my shipping address.
JB will be available for Note 1 also in a short time but not the hardware features lol.
Go for Note 2.
When you're waiting for the Note 1 to get JB, Note 2 comes with it preinstalled.
Not to mention that hopefully all the issues with the first Note have been fixed in the Note 2.
Although the price of the Note 1 will probably continue to drop, the cost of the Note 2 will be worth it.
I'm almost certainly buying the new Nexus when it comes out. Knowing that the Note will probably move into a "secondary" phone position for me, is the Note 1 a better choice?

I think u should wait for note 2 if u have more money better hardwear and yes note 1 wilk have jelly bean update i think in nov likr in a month and half so its all ur choice
Development-wise, I'd say go for the original note. If you look at our forum here, we have ripe roms, kernels, mods, and tweaks what not that are sure to cater to everyone's tastes. That, plus It'll take a while for development to start with the note2. And if you'll have a look at azrienoch's latest vid, (if what he says does come through, which I really do hope does not) things aren't so rosy.

the new note won't get airview and won't get camera updates making it faster cause there are hardware improvements required for those updates.. You better buy the note 2
if you ask me this is just the right time to buy note if you find with reasonable price. because note just got a decent rom LRT. has enough hardware power and versus note 2 for me i prefer 1280 * 800 over 1280 * 720. but dont forget my reasonable price requirement. here in Turkey they still sell it from 880 USD.

if money is not an issue, I'd say you go for the Note 2. Clearly... it has all the best and right features that the original one has yet to get. Hardware wise.. the original one isn't even comparable enough (we'll unless you overclock it, but still.. it has a limitation to it). Software part.. the new Note 2 has the official stock TW JB 4.1 installed already... Something that all of us here using the original one is still yearning to use and experience. Yeah there are a lot of custom JB Roms out there... but nothing still beats the official JB that Samsung has released already for the new Note.
So yeah, Go for the Note 2.. that is the best recommendation I can offer you.
P.S. Don't ask for any ETA updates when Samsung will release the official JB, co'z it's anybody's guess when they're going to release it. It might be this next month.. or next year.. who knows.....
Its already been launced in India y'day and estore price $758 (offering free bluetooth headset)
But usally in open market you should get 15-20 $ less to it.
Indian user may get some benefit by raising Rs value to $ since 1wk, i think its at least 2.5Rs / $ in last 5 days. ultimately make cheaper Rs1500 or more.
Back to topic
In my point of view, Note 2 is worth to spend 200$ extra
I agree, You should ideally hang out for the Note 2 if you can afford it
Thats not to say the Note 1 is becoming obsolete ! The Note 1 is still an awesome device with plenty of life left in it.
And if you can get it for a great price, then you wouldnt regret it !
Im going to get the Note 2 and give the Note 1 to my misses. (she thinks she's getting the Note 2 because its her time for a renewal ! my my my, How wrong is she ! lol )
It's too early to buy the N7000. After the launch of the N7100 prices N7000 will decline significantly. If $ 200 is not a problem I would advise to buy N7100.
I got my Galaxy Note 2 weeks ago and very happy with it, The reason I didn't wait for the Note II is that I don't really need all the new features of the Note II.
As I said before my Note serves all my needs and also the new apps added in the latest ICS 4.0.4 makes the Note alot better and smoother.
At the end it is personal preferences.
Regards

Oh note ll is priced around 40K in india or around 750$... Its too costly right now

The Note is still worth it's money. If the Note 2 is too expensive for you then go for a Note. You won't be disappointed.

Right
Once jellybean will added to note 1, then you can't say 200$ is worth to pay for note 2.

For me the only disadvantage of the Note is the burn in problem. And that has not been solved with the Note 2. Ok there is quad core, nfc and lte. I don't need those but I cannot speak for you.

I'm in the market for a tablet and the S2 looks great (and even better with some discounting on the release of the S3). However, I don't want to buy an S2 if I'm not going to get a stable Android 7 Nougat. Normally I would try ROMS out for myself, but since I don't have the product... I cannot. I've also recently just lost a couple of hundred dollars on a an older tablet that I could never find a stable ROM for.
Can someone that has either an 8" or 9.7" S2 give me feedback on ROM stability (and whether it is fully functioning) in Nougat (I'm not wanting LTE support)? Are there solid / reliable ROMs that would give me a good user experience?
AT&T hasn't realesed it for mine yet but it seems very stable on the S7 Edge (so far)

I'm talking about the Galaxy Tab S2 on Nougat. I've being really enjoying Nougat on my S7!
I'm gathering since there is not much response in this forum that I'm probably better to wait for the tab S3.
Also, from what I can find in the forums it seems there are a few features that aren't working on most Nougat ROMs for the S2.
I understood your question. AT&T hasn't released nougat for the S2 yet. The last tentative release time I heard was this May.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the heads up. I didn't realise there was a plan for an official release of Nougat on the Galaxy Tab S2 LTE version. I still may be tempted by the S3 at the right price because of the quick charge battery and s-pen. I've no need for LTE

Nougat will be released for the Tab S2 but its a case of how long we will have to wait. Samsung aren't going to release Nougat for the S2 when they want people to buy the S3. Its therefore likely Nougat will come later. :crying:
If you have an LTE version of the S2, the wait will be even longer as carriers like AT&T (US,) and EE, (UK,) take forever. :crying::crying::crying:
Not clear if it is the case but if you are asking about whether there are any custom Nougat ROMs available for the S2 that are stable, depending on which model of S2 you would purchase, there are a couple of ROMs currently out there. I have an 813 model and have used both the lineage and resurrection ROMs available in the S2 Development thread. Any issue I have experienced with either ROM has been really minor and both ROMs meet my requirement for a daily driver.
Of course this assumes you are willing to root and install a custom recovery.
