Q. The files I'm referring to are the Note files, PDFs, Docs, etc. I had a GS3 and I know how to transfer movie files and music.
-How would I transfer and more specifically backup those type of files(for Mac)?
-Is it possible(for Mac)?
-What about for PC?
I would like to backup the files in case the device ever took a shit, or broke. And if I upgrade to the next version of the Note, I would like the files to be easily transferrable. Thanks!
I put this question in the Cell Phone category because I figure it's the same for the Note 2.
A. If you save them to the SD Card, yes. If you don't then you're limited on what 3rd parties have written, and I haven't had a hole lot of success with anything sync'in up between Samsung products and macs beyond treating the samsung as an external harddrive.
And yes, I misspelled whole on purpose. Hole as in I fell in to it with all of my effort and got no where.
Should I get a Samsung Galaxy S3 or an iPhone 5?
Q. I really like the Galaxy, but I know the new iPhone is coming out. I have a 4th generation iPod Touch that is almost exactly like the iPhone, and I will be able to download iOS 6 for it.
A. Hi, buy the Samsung Galaxy SIII (Samsung Galaxy S3) here is my experience

I am so happy with this phone. Just got this phone on July 20th so I haven't tested out all the features. But I still say that it's just amazing and worth every penny. Apple fan boys beware cause Samsung is here to stay. The phone is extremely light and the display is very big and beautiful. The phone does look big at first, however web browsing, reading books and playing games is very easy due to the screen size. In addition after a while you do warm up to the size and it's hard to go back to a smaller phone. In addition the user experience is great.
I had read tons of reviews and articles about problems with the battery and mic etc with this phone. However I have not experienced any of these.
***Battery***
Battery is great. After charging it for about 4 hours or so and browsing for about 3 hours, downloading games, making several phone calls (over 3 hours in total), taking pictures, playing music and using S Voice; I got over 36 hours and counting on the phone on a single charge. I should note that I did make some modifications however by occasionally turning off WIFI, turning off Bluetooth, syncing and a couple other battery draining options. In addition Samsung has a cool power saving option that helps to maximize battery life.
***Microphone***
Had no problem. I could hear the other person clearly and they could hear me clearly too. There is also a volume boost option for when you are on a call and what extra volume. Pretty cool if you ask me and it does make a significant difference.
***No Overheating***
I haven't had that problem at all. Even with a phone case on the phone did not overheat.
***Charging***
Phone charged perfectly fine. Didn't get stuck or anything. And it also charged very quickly. Probably charged less than 4 hours. Didn't really time it, but after 4 hours it was fully charged.
***WIFI***
The WIFI connection is great. Signal didn't drop or anything.
SOME CONS:
1. User Manual and set up - Had some problems at first because the phone came with a printed Spanish manual. But luckily they have the user manual in all languages online and the set up is also pretty easy to follow on the phone. Several programs like S voice also defaulted to Spanish even after setting up the phone with the default language being English.
2. Back Cover - Some people did complain about the back cover which I agree could have been designed better as it does give it a somewhat cheap look. However it is easy to remove, clean and who doesn't love a removable battery. I have also seen at least one pic on the web where the back cover was cracking, however I have not experienced this for myself.
3. Color Saturation - Another thing is that though the camera takes great pictures, the phone display makes the colors look very saturated when compared to other phones. Will see if there are any options I can select to improve this.
4. S Voice - S voice unlike Siri can open up all the apps on the phone and has some other cool features. But S voice can be a little annoying as it doesn't get what you are asking or telling it to do at times (Siri does have similar problems but not as pronounced). It also at times didn't recognize my wake up voice command (Hi Galaxy). If you ask S voice if you need an umbrella it is smart enough to pull up the weather forecast for your area. However I had some difficulty setting an alarm as each time I would say 6:00 am, it would register it as 6:00pm. I eventually got this fixed by changing how I said the command. If you also speak too slowly it doesn't pick up on what you are saying. S voice also isn't as funny or intuitive as other voice recognition tools. If you ask "what sound does a cat make?", it will ask if you would like to Google it rather than just be proactive and google it. The only workaround is to tell it to "search for what sound does a cat make". Not a major game changer; but again if you are expecting S voice to be as perfect as you see those "Andrew" Android straight talk ads, then forget it. Be prepared to repeat yourself a couple times before S voice gets it right. But as annoying as it is, it does make hands free driving and cooking some what easier. Had no problems telling S voice to make calls or send a text.
Disadvantages to buying an unlocked phone?
Q. I've been shopping around a little for a Galaxy Note and I found one at a reasonable price that comes with a case. The only problem is that it is the unlocked version of the phone. I'm not quite sure with that implies, other than it is able to be used with multiple carriers, but are there any bad notes? I would like to know are there ANY disadvantages to having an unlocked version of the phone. Is it true that I won't receive updates? I have AT&T. Thanks!
A. I believe that your refer to Samsung Galaxy Note N7000. Three things to consider:
1. This is an unlocked phone, it may carry generic software. Generic software does not support data features such as: mms - picture messaging, web browsing, and sending/receiving emails. In order to utilize data services you will need to first obtain settings from your service provider (AT&T or T-Mobile) and set up the phone manually.
2. Regarding the high speed data feature. The Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 was originally released abroad. If you are planning to use this phone with US carriers, such as AT&T or T-Mobile, you might encounter issues with 4G / 3G high speed data. I suggest contact your service provider prior purchase to compare 4G / 3G network requirements with phone's capabilities.
3. Phones loaded with original service provider software have better service over phones with generic software.
