About the device:

The galaxy note is a superb phone when going through the specifications. The display is fantastic with the amoled screen its produces brilliant colours making pictures more real than ever. The 8 mp camera provides a great picture quality which makes the phone very much suitable for day to day photography and the 1080p HD video recording makes it even better for a device of this sort to be an every man’s dream. The 2mp front camera is very useful in the sense the video chat is made livelier than before. The phone has two mics in which the upside mic is used for noise cancellation. 

1.4 Ghz Dual Core Arm Cortex –A9 processor provides a faster usage of multiple applications at the same time.

An additional facility often unrecognized is accelerometer, barometer sensor and digital compass which come with this device. The device is available in Indian markets at 35000 Rs. The additional feature that we have in the device from all other capacitive touch screens is that it has a S-pen which provides a greater control in the doc editing department and also picture editing has become a lots more easier in this device. The games and apps worked well and all the hd games worked in the device producing awesome gameplay. The device is not as big as everyone think it is. It can be well fitted to the pockets.

Problems

The problems faced by many user till now are the lag when scrolling through the WebPages and also on pinch to zoom. Also the wireless reception is little weak when considered with the other device. The sound qualidy of the device is not one of the best but good. Some devices has been reported to have manufacture problem mainly in the cell reception section.

Comparing with iphone 4s

The screen resolution is much greater than iphone 4s and also the display size is also greater. And also when considering the RAM of these two devices note has 1 GB RAM (approx of 800 MB for use) and iphone has only 512 MB RAM (480). Even though both devices has an inbuilt memory of 16 gb, 32 gb and 64 gb (iphone only). Iphone does not have a external memory card slot where Samsung galaxy note has that provision. There is no stock fm radio in the device for iphone and the front camera is only vga where as for Note it is 2 MP. The other thing that worry’s the user is that for iphone only micro sim card support is available which is hard to get for Indian users.

So Note gonna be your next phone? :p

Android Installation error: “Couldn’t install on USB storage or SD card"

I started receiving installation errors on my recently purchased Android phone which wouldn’t allow me to install some apps on my phone nor let me update others. Other applications, however, installed normally.

I even contacted Android market regarding this but they didn't succeed in providing a permanent solution. So I recently googled it, and found a number of solutions.
Here's one of them for you,
I hope this saves you some time, as this has been extremely frustrating and time consuming problem to track down for me.!

The problem turns out to be a temporary file “smdl2tmp1” that is created by some applications during the installation process. If the installation gets interrupted, the temporary file does not get deleted properly. The next time the installation runs it can’t create the file and instead gives the installation error. This bug may have already been addressed in Gingerbread but that is unconfirmed.

The solution provided by Artem Russakovskii at Android Police is to manually delete the “smdl2temp1” file. The file is likely to reside in 2 locations:

1. /sdcard/.android_secure: this is an invisible folder on your SD card, which you can access with any file manager, like ASTRO

2. /mnt/secure/asec/: access to this folder requires root and a program like Root Explorer

Note:
I couldn’t delete the file directly from my phone using a file manager including “Astro.” My phone would see the hidden folder but did not see the “smdl2tmp1” file, which was also hidden. My solution was to mount my phone via USB and navigate to the folder and delete the file from my PC.
Once the file was deleted, everything was back to normal with application installs and updates.

P.S : This Is just a forwarded solution, intended only for quick reading and is not liable for any copywrite claims.

HTC Wildfire S vs Samsung Galaxy S

As much as we love high-end handsets like the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the HTC Sensation, they are often too big or too powerful for some who just want a small, basic phone. For others they're simply too expensive.
With the exception of Apple (unless this changes with the rumoured iPhone 4S/4 Nano) all the major manufacturers, including LG, Samsung, Sony Ericsson and HTC have produced cut down versions of their high-end flagship handsets.
Two of the most popular of these are the HTC Wildfire S and Samsung Galaxy Ace, both are Android handsets packed with features and priced in the mid-ranges. Which one should you go for? Read on to find out.
HTC Wildfire S vs Samsung Galaxy Ace: Design and Build
Both handsets look like mini version of their high-powered siblings: the HTC Desire S and Samsung Galaxy S. The Samsung is slightly longer; measuring 112.4mm to the HTC's 101.3mm, both are around the same depth at 11.5mm to 12.4mm and feel comfortable to hold.
Our version of the Wildfire S has a silver metal trim around the edge and white plastic back, you can also choose from black, purple and silver editions too. It looks and feels far classier than the Ace, which although is attractive with it's black-gloss front and textured back, feels cheaper and is a magnet for fingerprints.
HTC Wildfire S vs Samsung Galaxy Ace: Storage and connections
Specifications here are very similar, each has a 3.5mm jack in the top for plugging in a pair of headphones and a microUSB slot for charging. Internal storage of the Wildfire S is 512MB, which trumps the 158MB of the Ace. Both include microSD slots; the Ace’s is behind a wobbly plastic flap and to access the Wildfire S’s you need to remove the entire back, which is safer, if slightly more time consuming.
HTC Wildfire S vs Samsung Galaxy Ace: Screen
In terms of real estate the Ace comes out on top, with a 3.5-inches, in contrast to the HTC Wildfire S with a smaller 3.2-inch screen. However both screens have the same number of pixels (480 x 320), so because the Wildfire S's screen is smaller text is slightly sharper.
Side-by-side whites seem far purer and colours brighter on the Wildfire S, bright colours like orange and red in particular are muted on the Galaxy Ace. However off-angle viewing is better on the Ace, in bright sunlight the Wildfire Sis slightly easier to see, although neither phone is fantastic.
HTC Wildfire S vs Samsung Galaxy Ace: Interface
Both phones run Android. However the Ace is lagging somewhat with Android 2.2 Froyo, while the Wildfire S offers the more up to date Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
Advantages that Gingerbread offers over Froyo includes improved text cut and paste and a feature which automatically downloads any apps you've bought previously - useful if you're moving to the Wildfire S from another Android phone.
The Ace offers far closer to the vanilla Android experience, despite being overlayed with Samsung’s Touchwiz UI; this includes some neat extras like ThinkFreeOffice and All Share. For social networking you get Samsung’s Social Hub app, but it’s more of a portal for launching Twitter and Facebook via the browser, so we’d suggest downloading the Android apps instead. DLNA is welcome touch at this price though.
In common with all HTC Android handsets the Wildfire S runs HTC Sense, and a totally different experience. With instant customisation buttons and features. Friendstream pulls in Twitter and Facebook feeds, although the large widget won’t appeal to everyone.
HTC Wildfire S vs Samsung Galaxy Ace: Keyboard
With its bigger screen the Ace has the advantage here, especially if you have larger fingers; it makes the Wildfire S look pokey in comparison. The addition of Swype on the Galaxy Ace where you run your fingers over the letters to make a word is a bonus.
HTC Wildfire S vs Samsung Galaxy Ace: Browser
Browsing is a pleasant experience on both handsets. The slightly larger screen on the Ace is slightly better for reading text and scrolling, but the Wildfire S more than makes up for it with the excellent text wrapping feature where the text fits the space automatically.
The browsing experience can't match that of a high-specced handset though. Neither handset can run BBC iPlayer (or supports Flash) and you can only open a maximum of four screens on each.
HTC Wildfire S vs Samsung Galaxy Ace: Camera
Both phones can capture 5-megapixel stills and include autofocus and flash. When taking photographs with the Wildfire S, even when set to Auto White Balance, which continues through to the photos.
The Samsung Galaxy Ace struggles more with bright sunlight, one of our test shots was taken on a extremely bright day with the sun behind us and the sky looks artificially blue. The Wildfire S (left) was sharper and more natural, but suffered more with chromatic abberation (purple fringing between high/low contrast areas).
Both phones offer a good selection of tweakable features though. Wildfire S features include adjustable ISO and White Balance, you can also add around 4-5 other filters like Greyscale, Sepia, and Posterise. The Ace matches it with Metering, ISO and White Balance, along with 13 scene modes.
Unsurprisingly at this price point, neither includes a dedicated shutter button. Focus speeds are similar, although we like the ability to tap to focus on the Wildfire S.
When it comes to video however, the Wildfire S is the easy winner, mainly because it can shoot far larger footage at 640 x 480, compared to the Galaxy Ace at 320 x 240. Although the quality of footage from the Wildfire S isn’t great, it’s very soft and the colours aren’t as natural as the Ace.
HTC Wildfire vs Samsung Galaxy Ace:Music
The Samsung Galaxy Ace has the louder speaker, plug in some headphones (we used the Sennheiser CX281) and both phones are evenly matched.
Both phones have a similar layout with: Artists, Albums, Playlists and Tracks options, you can easily create playlists and Set as Ringtone, elsewhere the Wildfire S, with a newer version of Android comes with features like ‘Find Videos’ ‘You Tube’ and better sharing options.
Surprisingly only the Ace includes equaliser settings, with 12 to choose from including Bass Enhancer.
Audio file support is better on the Wildfire S, with AAC, WMA and OGG, alongside MP3 and AAC, while the Ace only supports MP3 and AAC.
HTC Wildfire S vs Samsung Galaxy Ace: Performance
The HTC Wildfire S is equipped with an 600Mhz processor and 512Mb RAM, while the Samsung Galaxy Ace has an 800Mz processor, but with slightly less RAM at 278MB. Neither is going to be blisteringly fast and in everyday use them seem very similar, with no problems swapping between applications, although sometimes the touchscreen responds slightly quicker on the Wildfire S.
Although for battery performance, the Wildfire S lags behind the Ace, with 350 minutes 3G talk time to the Ace with 390 minutes talk time. In use we found we had to charge the Wildfire S at the end of the day, but the Ace could make it into the second day. With heavy use - such as push email, GPS and Bluetooth all on, you'll have to charge every day though.
HTC Wildfire S vs Samsung Galaxy Ace: Verdict
If you are looking for a mid-range Android smartphone, you'll be happy with either of these handsets, both of which have advantages and disadvantages.
The HTC Wildfire S looks more premium, with superior build quality and although the screen is smaller, text looks sharper. Thanks to HTC Sense, the Wildfire S looks and feels far smoother to use with neat shortcuts and widgets, although the Samsung Galaxy Ace certainly is very user-friendly, although it's a real shame it doesn't run Gingerbread. For many Android fans, the ability to root the Ace will certainly appeal.
While both phones are fine for capturing quick snaps and uploading videos to YouTube, neither of these phones should be bought for their cameras, it's also a shame neither supports Flash video either.
Ultimately it's a close call between both handsets, for the overall user experience we prefer the Wildfire S, partly because we like HTC Sense, but many people will love the more 'pure' Android feel of the Ace. Android fans on a budget won't be disappointed with either.

P.s- Ace has recently got it's gingerbread upgrade.
