I got rid of this pesky little problem with “any cut” it doesn’t get rid of the notification but you will not be pestered by the pop up enable wifi message constantly

Can always sell it for top dollar haha..:) I’m an artist and I hear you but it doesn’t seem like that big of a deal, at least not to me. Seems to be much more solid feeling than the S3. The Verizon pissing all over it with their logo is annoying but I hope to get a case to cover some of it. Moto/Ninjablur sucks dood. I’ve had it for many years now. If those things bother you that much though I guess I see why you don’t feel persuaded to buy it. The ONLY two good things about Motorola smartphones is that they have the best phone radios and are build solidly.

What does a shared data plan really mean when it’s been *proven* that the average Android user consumes (on average) no more than 1 GB of data per month? Nothing. What do speeds mean if you can’t use it 20 miles outside of most metropolitan cities? Nothing. Did you really expect a new technology like LTE to be robust and efficient in terms of battery life right off the bat? You have no clue. When has ANY carrier NOT “specialized in internal and external cosmetic changes”? You are incredibly dim witted.

They might be trying to prevent customers from going over their bandwidth. Not like they care of anything (they’ll gladly take your money) but customers may be fussing about overages and this also may help Verizon’s towers bandwidth speeds as others are not on it as much. Data is much more in demand so this might be how they’re adjusting to it.

Verizon may be KING of coverage that’s great but here in New York City speeds belong to Tmobile and it’s Hspa plus 42mpbs network. What does all that coverage really mean when you have forced shared plans, poor daily battery life on 80 percent of all lte devices from 2011 and early 2012 devices., plus Verizon now specializing in external and internal cosmetic changes. Verizon is useless nobody on that network are really enjoying their devices like we are here on tmobile. Unlimited data reigns supreme here fellas.

I’ve had pure android phones, and I really don’t see the big deal with the current Samsung UI. It beats installing a dozen apps to do what the out of the box UI does….to me at least.

I’m getting about 6 hours of screen time before I shut it off for the night, 18 hours and still at about 35%.

I realize that was a big issue. The MaXX (regardless or materials) feels just as cheap and light as anything else now. The Note2 is nearly all metal, just look at the weight compared to other devices. The screen size I guess is a love it or hate it issue, once I’m used to it, all other phones feel like a toy now. But to each their own….

Well my parent’s already bought the MAXX HD for me for Xmas so it’s too late to try the Note 2, but I just really really hate Samsung’s design choices. Yes Touchwiz brings some great features and additional functionality to Android and at this point skins don’t typically hit performance as bad as they did a year ago, I can’t deal with a plastic phone with and the look of Touchwiz and I’m trying to get out of install ROMs on my phone.

That’s a drag…I agree with you, VZW can suck it. I went round and round with them when I first got the Inc4G…they blamed HTC. I said oh yea?, why is this issue on other devices that HTC doesn’t make?…crickets….

Every time I see you post it’s about Tmobile….Tmobile is not touching VZW in terms of coverage and speeds.

Yep… and even when I shut the phone off, it did not return. That is sweetness right there.

The notification actually doesn’t bother me, probably with the large screen I’m not missing the little bit of real estate enough to be annoyed. It’s the lack of a toggle that’s annoying to me.
