How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking? I'm thinking of getting a note 2 but don't trust anyone on craigslist, buying new though is really pricey so i'm at a crossroads here

I got a brand new one for $530 but I live in the Silicon Valley so it's rare to get a really good deal since everyone knows their stuff.How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking?

I was pretty paranoid buying on CL because people have been reporting their phones lost after or stop paying for the EIP
but the guy I bought it from bought it full price from tmobile and cancelled his value plan within 7 days due to crappy service in his area
I had him meet up at the T-Mobile store to check the IMEI and asked the T-Mobile rep if there was an account linked to it and if it was 100 % cancelled etc
So i'm not worried about my Note 2 getting blacklisted

you're right. at this point, it's all about marketing and hype. and it's always been that way.
to capture the market fully, Samsung needs to shed the image of android being buggy and scattered. so it makes sense for them to start making things proprietary.
I'm just disappointed whenever Samsung starts resembling apple. I came to android simply because it was not apple. I want a different philosophy and approach. but you're right -- I'm in the minority.

Got it, that's a good call getting it checked out at the store. Thanks.

I work for T-Mobile. I can assure, the plan is going to Unlimited calling, texting, and then if you want unlimited data the plan will come out to $70 a month, 4G WITHOUT throttling.
You will probably hear all about this in less than a week.

Just dropped today, good app, and FAST. I have evernote, and it has crazy options but not as fast as Keep. I already threw my grocery list and other misc. things on it. This app has potential, hopefully Google adds a reminder option so I can put my task on it. I still havent found a good task app yet
DL'ed it right away. Works like a charm. I've been in need of a smooth app that lets me make random post its on the cloud.
You should try out Any.Do, Boost. Best to-do list app I've ever used.

This is what makes Samsung so lame IMO. They clown Apple then begin to do the exact same thing. Don't claim you're different and better then within a year go against your philosophy. You obviously didn't need to fall in line. But did.

^ agreed. Google Keep illustrates exactly what google does so well and what Samsung has little to no hope of doing on their own. That's why I'm so skeptical. Samsung isn't just going up against Apple. They want to take on Google as well? Good luck... Both those companies have well-established software identities that large portions of the population love. Samsung does not.
Maybe I'm overblowing this whole thing. Maybe Samsung isn't really trying to leave Android completely and maybe Android isn't good enough on its own to sell >50% of cell phones. At the end of the day, if we end up with more options, I can't complain.

google keep is so basic. exactly what i needed. they finally got it right. no need for fancy bells and whistles, just cut and dry note taking.

Been wanting an app like this since i got my gnex. For some reason i didn't like evernote much but it's what i used just because those random 3rd party note apps were pretty crappy. Keep is so simple, having that home screen widget and random notes i have to remind myself stuff for is so easy with voice.

I'm still annoyed Google is removing Reader, but Keep is a solid, basic app. I use Evernote too, but I've found it disappointing for the quick notes I wanted. It certainly has a lot of great uses, though.

Just got a Nexus 4.
Wondering if any of you guys can help me out, its been well noted that the vibration/volume is not the best on the N4. I keep my phone on vibrate 80% of the time, but the N4 vibration is weak as hell. After some searching I found a app "contact vibrate" that lets you create your own vibrations works pretty well. My only issue now, is when the phone is locked and I get a msg/notification the vibration goes back to the N4 defaults. Anyone know how to change this without a custom ROM/kernel?

I'm gonna be "that guy" and tell you to flash a custom ROM/kernel.
-------
1) Use the N4 Toolkit to root, unlock bootloader, etc.

2) Flash AOKP

AOKP has a built-in feature that allows you to control the vibration pattern. Not so sure about controlling the "strength" of vibration though.

on AOKP you can control your vibration strength and customize it.
There's really no need to flash a ROM on da N4 but if you want to customize your vibration, you have to root it and ROM it. :\

Thanks guys, really didn't want to go that route(new to android and wanted to keep it as stock as possible) but don't know how much longer I can deal with this weak vibration .
