Meet Plum Might, the sub-$200 Galaxy Note clone
by Bams Sadewo on May 23, 2012 10 Comments">10
Electronista For some people, the Samsung Galaxy Note isn’t only unwieldy in size, but the price of the phablet is also a little out of reach. What if we told you that you can get a device that looks similar to the Galaxy Note, at a fraction of the cost? Plum, a Miami-based mobile manufacturer whose name may not ring a bell to anyone’s ears, is releasing its own take of the phablet phenomenon. Dubbed the Plum Might (interesting combination here), the look of the device is sadly where the similarity to Samsung’s Note ends. The Plum Might is a …
Unlocking and enabling NFC capability on AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note SGH-I717
by Carl Parker on Apr 18, 2012 0 Comments">0
The future is creeping up on us and we really should keep up. If you’ve ever heard of NFC, you’ve probably wondered what it means. NFC stands for “Near Field Communication” and is a set of standards for smartphones and similar devices to establish communication with each other by either touching them together or bringing them into close proximity. Through NFC, you can transfer data between two devices, such as contacts, photos, videos, or files. You can even engage other people in a multi-player game. One Swedish company is even testing the use of NFC-enabled smartphones to function as hotel …

by Paul Nuñal on Mar 31, 2012 0 Comments">0
Codename Android was recently ported to the Samsung Galaxy S and it seems that it is also coming to the Samsung Galaxy Note. Known for its lightning-fast performance, heavy customizations, and fully open source nature, Codename Android is reaching more and more devices each day. With the Codename Android ROM being ported to the Galaxy Note, owners who desperately want to try ICS will finally get what they’re craving for. They won’t have to wait for Samsung’s official rollout of ICS for the Galaxy Note during the second quarter. The Codename Android ROM for the Galaxy Note is still in …
Survey: 90% of people want their next smartphone to have a larger screen
by Lucian Armasu on Mar 19, 2012 14 Comments">14
The manufacturers have been right to push for larger screens, because it seems that’s exactly what people want. Of course, part of this is probably because some people have already bought some large screens, and only then the others noticed how nice the larger screen is, so then they wanted one, too. This recent survey says that 90% of smartphone owners want their next phone to have a larger screen, that includes iPhone users as well. Either they are going to buy an Android phone next or they are really hoping the next iPhone will have a much larger screen, …
Panasonic Eluga Power vs Samsung Galaxy Note vs LG Optimus VU
by Carl Parker on Mar 13, 2012 4 Comments">4
Whether you love them or hate them, 5-inch devices fill that nice gap right between phones and tablets. Some users may complain that 5-inches is way too big for their hands, while others may find them just perfect. One thing is sure, however — 5 inches definitely does not make a compact phone and it may be a little ridiculous to carry such-sized phone around in your pocket, much less to answer publicly whenever you get a call. But, if you’re someone who wants the functionality of a tablet in the comparatively smaller size of a phone, these devices may …
Update Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 to Android 2.3.6 Firmware Build XXLA6
by Carl Parker on Mar 12, 2012 3 Comments">3
While everyone might be going nuts over Ice Cream Sandwich, there’s nothing quite as comforting for Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 users like Gingerbread. Users can get their new dose of Gingerbread from the new official Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread firmware build XXLA6. Though the firmware hasn’t been officially launched yet internationally, Android users in Europe have reported the firmware update to be stable. The said update reportedly carries fixes for some camera issues and some issues with S Note. Applying this update is fast and easy. Even the most novice of Android users can do it. Applying this update will not …
Rooting AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note SGH-I717 Without Incrementing Flash Counter
by Alvin Ybañez on Mar 11, 2012 15 Comments">15
If flashing has become an addiction for you, you might want to pause for a while for some trivia: newer Samsung devices have a built-in flash counter that tracks how many times you have flashed a kernel through Odin. The Samsung Galaxy Note, unfortunately, has such a counter. If you root the Galaxy Note by flashing a prerooted kernel, the Note’s flash counter will increase. No one knows for certain what the flash counter will be used for, but there are fears that Samsung may use it to refuse honoring warranties. Understandably, then, you’d prefer to flash pre-rooted kernels to …

by Carl Parker on Mar 01, 2012 20 Comments">20
Samsung Galaxy Note users, brace yourselves–Ice Cream Sandwich leaks are coming. Ice Cream Sandwich has been cropping up on Android devices left and right, and this time it’s finally arrived on the Samsung Galaxy Note N7000. Though this may not be an official release, it’s certainly enough to give hope to Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 uses of more Ice Cream Sandwich leaks to come in the future–that is, before Samsung sends out ICS officially to the N7000. This current leak may have some bugs, but we should be seeing even better releases in no time. Requirements and Notes Before you …

AT&T Galaxy Note to Have Snapdragon Chip with Lower Performance than Exynos
by Lucian Armasu on Feb 06, 2012 6 Comments">6
One of the things I like about Samsung and don’t like about HTC is that they are willing to use other chips for their devices, especially if one of their favorite chip is not top dog anymore (fortunately Samsung’s chips have always maintained the lead so far). HTC on the other hand, no matter how good or bad was the performance of Qualcomm chips, they would stick with them. There are hints that this year they will use Tegra and even OMAP chips alongside the Qualcomm ones, but that remains to be seen. I do like that Samsung is …

Make way for Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread build XXLA4. As in most cases of leaked official firmware, build XXLA4 for the Galaxy Note is hoped to bring a more stable build for Samsung’s hybrid phoneblet. According to Galaxy Note owners who tried flashing the firmware to their devices, build XXLA4 brings more speed and fluidity to the tablet, as well as improved mobile network speeds. Some users also observed some improvement with …
South Korea Sells 700K Galaxy Note’s and Counting!
by Will G. on Feb 03, 2012 2 Comments">2
While there is now official word on pre-orders starting at BestBuy on Sunday, South Korea is very much enjoying their taste of the Samsung Galaxy Note. Since Samsung is based out of South Korea, customers were able to purchase the device late last year. These customers are very lucky indeed, as approximately over 700,000 devices have been sold in South Korea alone. This counts for an outstanding 66% of all LTE devices in the country. Hopefully the device becomes a big success in the U.S as it it has in S.K. I believe that if the device is released on …
Samsung: We’re Leading the Way for Android
by Lucian Armasu on Jan 25, 2012 0 Comments">0
LaptopMag has a pretty insightful interview with Ryan Bidan, product marketing manager for Samsung, and we can see what Samsung thinks about the Android ecosystem right now, and a bit about where they are going in 2012. One of the more interesting quote’s I saw from him was when he said that Android 4.0 implemented some features that were in TouchWiz first: So what role does your TouchWiz software play in this dynamic and does it really add value? Bidan: If you look between Gingerbread and Honeycomb and some of the stuff that we did on there with TouchWiz, a lot of …
