Q. Recently, the hot topic of iPad mini and the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 series N7100 talked by people. I want buy one of them. which is better, which should I buy?
A. They are really not comparable since the IPad Mini is a Tablet (the outdated IPad 2 shrunken down into a smaller case with IOS 6) where as the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 series is a phone. You are getting more for your money since getting the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Series since you get...
1) Much faster (1980(Galaxy Note II) vs IPad 2 benchmark of 755 [Note: IPad Mini is basically an IPad 2 shrunken down])
2) Micro SD Card Slot for Memory Expansion
3) A 5.5 inch screen vs 7.9 Inch on the IPad Mini.
4) NFC (Near Field Communication (Not on IPad Mini)
5 ) 8MP and 1.9MP cameras vs (IPad Mini: 5MP and 720p cameras) Note: 1MP = 1024p so 720p is less than 1MP.
6) Up to 35 Hours talk time and 980 Hours of Standby time (IPad Mini only has 10 hours of battery life, not a phone so that is the only comparison)
7) 267 ppi (Pixels per Inch) vs 162 ppi on IPad Mini
a better comparison would be the IPhone 5 to the Samsung Galaxy Note since the IPhone 5 is Apple's Latest phone, here is the comparison there...
1) the ability to make phone calls
2) faster (1980(Galaxy Note II) vs IPhone 5 benchmark of 1601)
3) Micro SD Card Slot for Memory Expansion (Not on Phone 5)
4) A 5.5 inch screen vs 4 inch on the IPhone 5.
5) NFC (Near Field Communication (Not on IPhone 5)
6 ) 8MP and 1.9MP cameras vs (IPhone 5i: 8MP and 1.2MP cameras) Up to 35 Hours talk time and 980 Hours of Standby time vs (Iphone 5 Up to 8 hours of talk time and 225 hours of Standby Time)
7) 267 ppi (Pixels per Inch) vs 326 ppi on IPhone 5 (IPhone 5 is a smaller screen)
Are you looking for a smartphone or a tablet? The Samsung Galaxy Note II is both a smartphone/tablet where the IPad's are just tablets.. Are you looking to connect it to wifi or 3g/4g networks?
If you are looking for wifi only option (my guess is that you are looking for 3g/4g), I would take a look at a Nexus 7 or Kindle Fire HD. They are both much better price points at $200. Plus the Nexus 7 is 2x faster than the IPad Mini at 1495-1591 geekbench, the Kindle Fir HD 7 is approx 1000- 1100 geekbench (1 1/2 times faster)
How to boost cell phone signal and receptioon?
Q. i have at&t netwoork and the samsung flight 2 smartphone. it is fine with texting but if i make or recieve a call it drops the call, sometimes it seems static-y or broken up. i cant afford a new phone and my credits to get a new service provider. how can i make this phone better? cheap easy fixes. can i put tinfoil around the battery and get clear reception? (sorry if i misspelled anything)
A. This post for how to disable at&t &use any sim card do with your own risk...its work on me... Open the Phone Screen and Type the following code:
* # * # 1 9 7 3 2 8 6 4 0 # * # *
The phone will automatically take you to a screen called:
SERVICE MODE
AND YOU WILL SEE THESE OPTIONS:
----------------------
[1] DEBUG SCREEN
[2] VERSION INFO
[3] UMTS RF NV
[4] GSM RF NV
[5] AUDIO
[6] COMMON
----------------------
all these options are written very very small so you will have to touch the screen very accurately to get the right one... so select them in the following order:
[1] Debug Screen
+
[8] Phone Control
+
[7] Network Control
+
[2] Band Selection
Once you Tap on "Band Selection" you will have a screen stating these 4 Options:
-------------------------
= BAND SELECTION =
[1] Automatic [*]
[2] WCDMA Band []
[3] GSM Band []
[4] Combi Bands []
-------------------------
The Asterisk ' * ' indicates what option has been chosen, in this case the selection is on "AUTOMATIC" which is correct: the Phone will pick the best Network to work, we just have to make sure that the Phone is searching in all the Possible Networks because by Default some of them are Disabled.
So Tap on:
[2] WCDMA Band []
and on the screen you will see appearing the following Options:
----------------------------------
= WCDMA BAND =
[1] WCDMA ALL []
[2] WCDMA 2100(FDD I) [*]
[3] WCDMA 1900(FDD II) [*]
[4] WCDMA 900(FDD VIII) [*]
[5] WCDMA 850 (FDD V) []
-----------------------------------
In my case, since the Telephone comes from Europe, the 850 Band is not enabled and you can tell that by the fact that it doesn't have the ' * ' beside it.
JUST TAP ON
[5] WCDMA 850 (FDD V)[]
the phone in about a second will tell you that the Option has been Enabled.
~~~To Go Back DO NOT USE THE "LOOPED ARROW" Button~~~
=== PRESS THE "MENU" BUTTON
and select "BACK" ===
now on the screen you should see the Asterisk beside all the Frequencies, like this:
----------------------------------
= WCDMA BAND =
[1] WCDMA ALL []
[2] WCDMA 2100(FDD I) [*]
[3] WCDMA 1900(FDD II) [*]
[4] WCDMA 900(FDD VIII) [*]
[5] WCDMA 850 (FDD V) [*]
----------------------------------
Now, just to make sure that we did everything right, let's press again the "MENU BUTTON" and select again "BACK" so we go back to the
" =BAND SELECTION= " Screen:
-------------------------
= BAND SELECTION =
[1] Automatic [*]
[2] WCDMA Band []
[3] GSM Band []
[4] Combi Bands []
-------------------------
This time, let's choose a different Option:
Tap On:
[4] Combi Bands []
and you will see a screen giving many more Bands Options like this:
----------------------------------
= COMBINATION BANDS =
[1] GSM 850 [*]
[2] GSM 900 [*]
[3] DCS 1800 [*]
[4] PCS 1900 [*]
[5] WCDMA 2100(FDD I) [*]
[6] WCDMA 1900(FDD II) [*]
[7] WCDMA 900(FDD VIII) [*]
[8] WCDMA 850 (FDD V) [*]
----------------------------------
Make sure that there is the ' * ' beside the "WCDMA 850 (FDD V)" if you don't see it, Tap on that Option so that it will be enabled.
And then go Back (remember you have to do that with the "MENU BUTTON" and not with the "LOOPED ARROW" Button) and make sure that all the Bands have been enabled.
If all the 8 Different Bands Options have the Asterisk beside it, you have successfully enabled all the 3G Bands available and now you will be able to access the 850Mhz 3G Network Spectrum.
ONCE YOU ARE DONE PRESS THE "MENU" BUTTON AND CHOOSE: " END "
This is it, for me it worked, now i am using my Samsung Galaxy S with AT&T 3G and for now, i didn't have any problem... i don't know if in the future AT&T will "'bitch'" about this, but i really hope not.
After all, it's their fault that they keep locking down the Android Phones that they sell making them as much Unusable as an iPhone.
I hope this post help
What is a good handheld device for playing media?
Q. My phone doesn't support many formats, so I'm looking for something I can carry around for my music, pictures and video. I hate iPod, so I don't care what you say, I'm not getting one. I hate Apple, so don't recommend them to me. I'm just looking for a simple device, preferably with a camera on it that can support video capture as well as pictures.
