The best experience with GNote has been with Checkrom custom Rom. One of the best Rom out there for Note for customization. ICE on note, when its released will definitely spice it up and with custom Rom one could change the dpi. setting to a tablet form. Samsung has pushed the release date on ICE by end of 2nd quarter.

Note is excellent phone, much reliable with its Gingerbread platform. Camera is good, no issues with screen and great battery life. If you could carry the size nothing beats it. I would say get the Note and wait for Galaxy S III. which could come with 4.8-4.9" screen. I was too pick up one x but got the G.Nexus instead, will wait for the SIII Here's one such video with screen banding issue on One x I was too pick up one x but got the G.Nexus.

Advantages of the SG Note: Bigger Screen Removable SD Card Regular SIM vis a vis the Micro SIM in the One X Samsung's better service network compared to HTC's Advantages of the One X: Screen resolution Better camera Quad Core Processor ICS Still got to see both in my hand together at one time and then decide. Note from Support - Please avoid quoting videos and an entire lengthy post as it inconveniences our small screen & mobile users. Last edited by n_aditya : 10th April 2012 at 11:49.

Pictures on One x is said to have slight bluish tint compared to the Note. ICS is overlayed with their Sense 4 UI which uses quite a lot of Ram. Display on OneX itself has few design flaws, that cannot be rectified. For a smartphone with bigger display size, display itself is single most important factor. Even though the pictures on S.Lcd looks slightly sharper and colors are more saturated compared to S.Amoled HD screen, though not much. Samsung will release ICS for Note.

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Upgraded from Class-4 SD card to Class-10. The whole process took less than 10 minutes - here are the steps I followed: 1) Took Nandroid Backup - about 170 seconds. 2) Copied the entire FAT32 partition of SD card to PC (Nandroid backup also gets copied along with all data like pics & videos) 3) While the above copy was in progress, I formatted the new SD card in phone using 4EXT recovery. 1 GB ext4 sd-ext, 256 MB swap and rest in a FAT32 partition, perfectly aligned. 4) After the format, inserted the new card in PC and copied all the content from previous FAT32 to the new one. 5) Inserted the card in Phone, and performed a restore, rebooted phone. Phone was back in action with everything preserved. Some performance boosts observed are 1) Boot up time of phone reduced significantly 2) Gallery loads faster, new thumbnails load faster 3) 720p Videos start playing without any jitter. 4) Google maps loads the tile cache much much faster. 5) Time for taking further Nandroid backups reduced Last edited by clevermax : 10th April 2012 at 16:37. |

Hi, Was this an internal SD card that you changed or external? | |

My phone has only one SD card slot - that is inside the back cover and I have to pull battery in order to access it. Since my phone is notorious for its lack of internal apps storage space, I use a 1GB ext4 partition in my SD card for storing apps, the phone is tricked to believe that it is internal memory by something called A2SD+. It is not the same as simply moving apps to SD card from the manage applications screen. Last edited by clevermax : 10th April 2012 at 17:07. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() So I am on ICS now.. with a phone that was considered non-compatible with ICS. Flashed the MIUI-Au ICS version just now on stock hboot. Still to test features and performance. ![]() ![]() Those who are updating their Nexus-S to ICS via the OTA update, please be prepared to experience slowness - ICS as it is provided now on Nexus S is slow. Used my colleagues Nexus S for a while today and it is definitely slower than previous GB. Last edited by clevermax : 10th April 2012 at 23:08. |

My Desire on ICS is also not very smooth and fast compared to my previous CM7.1. The phone used to fly with CM7.1, but now it is just cruising on a road ![]() Having said that, I am loving the ICS MIUI experience so far. Discovering new tiny features and usability enhancements throughout. Battery usage is surprisingly lower. I flashed ICS just to check whether my phone can run it - going back to GB after a day anyway. Let's accept it - ICS is not really made for phones like ours. Or it still has to got to get optimizations in the code, especially in the graphics side, so as to enable it to run smoother and faster on older warhorses like Nexus S. MIUI ICS folks tell that they will release minor versions of MIUI ICS as and when Google updates ICS with more hardware acceleration fixes and improvements. I disagree on the point that nothing can beat 'stock' Android experience. You've got to taste some good custom ROMs to understand that. Some custom firmwares takes performance to a new level, some are eye candy, some are packed with more features & widgets (HTC Sense for eg.) There are a lot of things that custom firmwares offer on top of a stock Android. Last edited by clevermax : 11th April 2012 at 11:26. | |

The scratch guard has been on the phone since day one. Suddenly day before yesterday this problem surfaced. BTW I found the exact problem area. There are two horizontal strips on the screen which do not respond to touch. One is at the center of the screen and the other at the bottom. This creates problem in scrolling also. Anyways, I've restored my Neo V to factory settings (locked bootloader again, unrooted the phone and flashed stock ROM). If the issue doesn't go away in few days, I'll take it to service center. | |
