But old day reason for me was free hotspot- Tether abilities. For the other wifi devices in our lives. Had to root Triumph. It was half rooted outa the box! Xda developers made sure to post t5hat find. In fact i believe maybe brandon14 was to credit, all you had to do was install emulator off playstore. Enter maybe 3,4 lines.

Review: GNote 2 - This is a really good phone. Battery holds better than the note. I got it at a good price because the G Note 3 came out with a hand full of extras but I'm sticking to this phone for a while on my $ 45.dollar Straight Talk Plan which works great on thid plan.

This is a really good phone. Battery holds better than the note. I got it at a good price because the G Note 3 came out with a hand full of extras but I'm sticking to this phone for a while on my $ 45.dollar Straight Talk Plan which works great on thid plan.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Glad I took a chance =)
*by R***T on January 10, 2015*

I was a bit wary, based on some reviews. Now, I am happy to say, it was a good decision. Before I spout about how much I love this phone, a few things need to be mentioned: 1) This phone came NEW (the seller I bought it from is no longer selling it, though) 2) This phone needs to be unlocked with a CODE that is PROVIDED by the seller and is on a sticker on the side of the phone box. It is a very easy process... I took a pic but scribbled out the code in Paper Artist before uploading, so it is a bit artsy (didn't feel like downloading a photo editing app - for some reason, it didn't come with one). 3) If you are using Straight Talk, you won't need to unlock it. 4) I am writing this review in my own handwriting and it is converting it to text!! Pic added for emphasis. NOTE: You can take a screenshot and write on it (hold down the button on the stylus and touch pen to screen for a couple seconds), but you have to download an app to scribble on photos, I guess. 5) Downloading the manual and taking time to read through all the features is HIGHLY recommended. There are tons that most people never use. 6) Most people will not need all the features this phone has to offer. It is a phone that works. And by work I mean multi-task and simplify all your tasks for business and/or school. That being said, I am a student of Graphic and Web Design and I have a few projects for businesses I am working on. I have been wanting a tablet that I can draw, sketch ideas, and take notes with, but haven't found one reasonably priced (I have a pretty small budget) that could accomplish what I needed. In other news, I wanted a new phone badly. My iPhone 4 was worthless for what I wanted/needed for school and work. I killed two birds with one stone by getting this phone! I have nothing but praise for the S Pen. Amazingly accurate and looks like my own handwriting, which is something I have only seen in a Microsoft Surface Pro. Must be that Wacom technology. The stylus is superior even to my Wacom Bamboo stylus! I have already sketched out some ideas for a new website and the possibilities for school and work efficiency are endless with this thing. My calendars were synced, emails, google drive, etc. Makes it easier than checking all that stuff from my laptop. I won't bother with specs, those have been covered in other reviews. Battery life: the more you have going on, the more battery you use. Sorry. Overall, a money-saving purchase for someone who wants a small tablet and a phone but can only afford one and doesn't want to carry both around. Win-Win! ***EDIT: 10/25/2018*** Two phones later, this phone is still working great for me. I have upgraded to the Note 4, lost it, bought a Note 5, had to return it, and am using this while this whole process gets sorted. Just popped my SIM back in and it works fine. The Operating system is really old and no longer receives updates from AT&T, but that is fixable with some Google-Fu and rooting chops. Still very happy with this phone.
