    New T-Mobile (USA) update available...still on 4.1.1 though

    I already unstalled the "multi-view" update from a few weeks ago, does anyone know what's in this update? The HD audio and/or LTE enable? EDIT...now that I'm thinking about it, it may be the Exynos security patch.

    What's the point of the "Wake command to unlock" voice command...

    ...if I have to press a button to wake the phone, just to to get to the "listening mode"? It wood be quicker to just swipe, than to say a phrase. Might be different if it could be used in lieu of a PIN, or pattern, where it may save time, but apparently it doesn't work in those modes.

    Verizon Note 2 "missing apps/widgets" list...

    I don't have this version, but after reading a few other posts, I figured I'd start a consolidated list so Verizon owners don't lose their minds looking for what one would seem are basic apps/features. Feel free to post a desired. - clock widget - full screen calendar widget (4x4) - email...

    (2) different part #s for "Verizon" battery, vs. "all others"?

    It looks like there is a different part # for the Verizon battery (top # in screenshot). Anyone order it, and using in another carrier's phone? I wonder what the difference is, if any, aside from the Verizon being "in stock"?

    Anyone try the S-Pen "Low-Jack" yet?

    Well, not quite Low-Jack, but you can't set an alert/alarm when the phone gets too far from the S-Pen. I've only tried it by walking the phone away from the pen, but it activates after about 20ft...YMMV.

    Wow...print setup was easy

    I went into "Print Settings", searched for printers, and the phone found my 6+ year old HP psc2510 on my network. I printed an email without having to install any additional drivers or software, and I was even able to change several of the print settings.

    A little disappointed with signal strength...

    FWIW, I'm in the Balt/DC corridor, with decent LTE coverage (hit 52Mbps near RFK stadium on my LTE Note), however I wanted a device with better reception than the Note. At home, my Note is fairly consistently in the -85dBm to -97dbm range, where the Atrix is consistenly 4 to 6 dBm "lower" in...

    Does this phone use a micro SIM?

    I kinda bummed about the "fixed battery", but I'd hate to have to pass because of the smaller SIM card as well. I'd love to use this on T-Mo as my Motorola Defy is acting up.

    Anyone have the T-Mo version working on AT&T's HSPA?

    I was looking at picking up the T-Mo version, as it supposedly supports AT&T's 3G band...although T-Mo packaging has been wrong before. I have accts. on both AT&T and T-Mo, and it would be nice to have an alternative device that functions on 3G a/both carriers. Seems like it would be much...

    Battery life finally getting better...

    FWIW, this is my 10th day w/the Note, and I've done about (6) full charge/discharge cycles, along w/a few 80% discharge. Coming into work this morning, I only used 11% with the screen on for a little over an hour, using Maps, with traffic enabled. At that rate, my battery would last about 10...
