I was happy with the 1mbps hsdpa in our area when suddenly it conked out for 2 weeks. Putting the phone on wcdma would prevent me from calling or texting because the signal vanished. Bottom point the 3G was broken here yet globe refused to fix it after 1 week of calling them.

I had to rant and rave every day for 20 days before an escalation officer talked to me. Yet it took them till new year jan 4 to be specific before they fixed it. At least they upgraded the network to 6mbps.

Guys do you know a store that sells and puts a screen guard on the whole galaxy note 2(screen protector on screen, bumpers, and back) that is cheap?:confused:
[Galaxy Note II General] andryhan:
When you say cheap, how much is that? :D invisible shield by zagg cost 1500php back and front.
[Galaxy Note II General] PierreTech:
No bumpers? I'm trying to find lower than 1500. I saw same product in moa. 1500. Whole body. I'm trying to find if there is cheaper than that price. :D
[Galaxy Note II General] maxram:
ishield offers 1, 200 but it's wet application. And no bumpers

Oh snap! I don't have a witty tapatalk signature!
[Galaxy Note II General] jon1011:
What do you mean by wet application?

And how come it's cheaper there?

Our local iShield shop here prices the front and back cover for 1,500.

If separately...

Front: P700

Back: P900

IIRC, when I last asked, they can't cover the bumpers yet.

They can only cover the sides of iFools.

hi

can you post some screenshot of these black patterns?

[Galaxy Note II General] kenethic:
Guys can I ask if anyone of you have been experiencing similar issues with the proximity sensor.. when receiving or making call I understand that the screen goes off automatically once held against your face.. however there had been a lot of times that it wont immediately turn back on after moving it away from my face.. seems a long delay happens before it does... I thought the latest fw update will fix it..

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated..

TIA!
[Galaxy Note II General] masterppgi:
Are you using a screen protector? If yes, Is the proximity sensor being obscurred by it?

Anyways, I suggest bringing your phone to a service center. :D

Going back to the topic of micro SD cards...

[Galaxy Note II General] chev:
Usually this is a location issue. When im at home QC(near espana) im getting 1.5-2mbps but when im in the office(Shaw - business place) its bursting to 5-6mbps. Im thinking Globe is prioritizing business areas

Btw im a new Note2 User :)
[Galaxy Note II General] MarionCast:
Weird. Mine seems to be the other way around -- much faster at home than at the office (in Makati). My theory is that, with the population density in Makati (especially in the CBD area -- I work along Ayala Ave.) during working hours, too many people trying to access at the same time, hence slower speeds. Unlike at home, which is quite suburban, not much bandwidth sharing, so speeds are much faster.

Has anyone updated to 4.1.2? Any issues? Battery drain? WiFi? Too lazy to read earlier posts in this thread. :eek: But there seems to be a lot of talk about this everywhere else.
[Galaxy Note II General] badong09:
Upgraded to 4.1.2 and flashed Omega ROM v10 with Perseus kernel v31.2 and using TWRP recovery.

So far my phone is blazing fast. I got 18k on Antutu and 7k on Quadrant.

The only thing i dont like about it is it drains a little faster than JB 4.1.1 but wth do i care about the battery drain. I'll just enjoy my toy and use its capacity to the fullest. I always bring my charger even at work.

And if my phone is on idle i make sure to turn off all running apps and clear my RAM.

GLOBE Telecom restrictions?

Hey guys. I normally purchase unlocked devices, but the Samsung Galaxy Note II really caught my eye so I decided to get one from GLOBE. Strange enough, I noticed that:

1. I was still stuck on 4.1.1, OTA and Kies would claim that I have the latest updates.

- I had to download the firmware and flash via Odin to get to 4.1.2.

- Is it possible to flash with non-GLB firmware? Are there restrictions to modding now that I am "locked to GLOBE?"

- Can I flash custom ROM's as long as it's made to be compatible with the International Version?

2. It seems that there is no way for me to access Google Now

- No Google Now Option (Long Pressing Menu or Home Button > Menu > Only Voice, Phone Search, and Privacy and accounts are found)

- I've tried doing a Factory Reset and flashing stock firmware via Odin, to no avail.

Thanks guys! :confused:

EDIT: So I finally managed to activate Google Now by accessing Search via the WIDGET. Neither the Menu/Home Button nor the application drawer (to run Google Search) helped me activate Google Now.
[Galaxy Note II General] chev:
Yes also maybe because of the population, makati has more people than Shaw, just my thought.

Battery drains faster with 4.1.2 but its not that much. Wifi seems normal to me, i usually use wifi at home and 3g when my wifi network is not available.
[Galaxy Note II General] kenethic:
Got mine from globe aswell.. didnt have any problems with the official 4.1.2 jb update I downloaded a few weeks ago.. it was long overdue and I was glad it was finally released here.. btw I did OTA since download speed at moa was good enough.. took half of my lunch hour to complete the download and setup.

German Note 2 sold here in the Philippines?

hello guys,

i have a question for some Filipino folks here. I am currently residing here in the Philippines due work and i bought the note 2 (at glorieta parksquare i believe) last december in a store. Im trying to update it to 4.1.2 via OTA but it seems that he cant find it.

So i was wondering why. After i posted a different post here in XDA today i found out that i have a german note 2.

(More regarding this please check it here -- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2112025&page=3 --)

Thats strange because i am German but i bought this phone here in the Philippines. So what i understood is that the store sold me a German note 2? Or is it because i have chosen a option at the beginning of the setup when i first received my phone!? :confused:

FYI: My phone is not rooted whatsoever. Everything is original all stock.

Anybody? Ideas? Thanks! ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] BratPAQ:
some shops buy phone outside the philippines, especially if the phone was released first outside the philippines, can you verify at the back inside the battery compartment if it has an NTC sticker? also whats the name of the shop?

something like this

if it doesnt have that sticker, maybe your phone was smuggled.
[Galaxy Note II General] DerGraf99:
Ok I just checked it. No NTC sticker. Well, if you go to the main entrance of park square just go straight ahead and at the first corner on the left side that's the store. It's just direct at the corner. Like a corner store. It's a pure cellphone store. Hmmm it looked legit to me since when I entered there were a lot of customers. So now I got a German phone. Well, I can't complain about that I guess. Lol. But still how can I update my phone now? Do I have to wait till a official German update is out or is it out already? :confused:
[Galaxy Note II General] cerilus altos:

[Galaxy Note II General] jef_512:
Hi All

Hope anyone could help, i got my Note 2 last week (from Smart).. I noticed that if i put the phone on vibrate or silent mode, and then restart the phone, it would automatically put back the volume on.

It would be silent during boot up until it loads the lockscreen. After a couple of seconds though it'll set the volume back on. Anyone encountered this and would you be able to advise how to fix this?

Btw, while i did install widgetlocker and go launcher ex.. Even if i disabled them, same thing. So not sure if it has something to do with those apps.

I still wanna go through how custom ROMs fair out for this handset (so I know how to maximize it when I get mine 3 weeks from now), but basing from my experience I tried out custom ROMs 6 months after I got my phone all for the sole purpose of satisfying my curiosity. I never went back to stock ROM... until recently (yes, after the JB update). One thing I learned about Android so far is that one's experience may not be true to the other. Then again, the OEM may already have ironed out flaws on the stock ROM which makes it more solid than its predecessors.

To date, SMART is the only one who's offering LTE connectivity. Contratry to what the other one said, it's only available for Postpaid. The worse thing is the service has a cap and comes with a hefty price of course. It's currently being offered on selected areas in Metro Manila. You need to have an LTE capable phone like the N7105. We are yet to catch up with the LTE in the US where every network is offering LTE; so common that they can offer it with unlimited data.
