[Galaxy Note II General] note2graphics:
I have no idea what rom im using, i just downloaded the sun or was that a globe firmware in sam mobile. Anyways I'm thinking of updating everything , change firmware and what other things do I need to change ? I don't get ota updates on the ph firmware, someone commented i should update the radio as well.

I want it to work fine with no problems since I might swap this phone with my brothers iphone 5. Can someone help please ? And also the issue I had with my memory card ( I updated 15 apps or more in the play store , with file sizes up to 1gb ) and the gallery pics showed but it lagged and eventually froze. This is a new memory card and I don't want this to happen if ever I swap this phone. Or was the updating all programs caused it or maybe the firmware?
[Galaxy Note II General] sesepark:
Imho that phone is way better than the iPhone 5. The gallery hanging could be a stock Samsung firmware issue. It happened to me before I flashed arhd on my phone. Currently using arhd 14 abd having the time of my life. I had Ann iPhone 4 before. Fiddled with the iPhone 5 but I like this better

Start by rooting your phone. Then do some research on what firmware/Rom you want flashed. Omegarom, arhd, etc.. you can fiddle with the kernel too if you like but I don't really suggest it lol. It takes some patience but in the end it's all worth it.
[Galaxy Note II General] BratPAQ:
Have you tried clearing the cache and data of gallery apps?

Happened to me once, my facebook photos is showing broken icon. So I cleared data and cache of gallery, then when I opened gallery again it re-downloads my online images including facebook, no more broken icons.
[Galaxy Note II General] bs_flatline:
Hi guys!

Any of you tried mhl cables not bought from samsung?

Did it work?
[Galaxy Note II General] note2graphics:
Yes I have done this route. I managed to solve this by removing the battery and restarting the phone. And also did the unthinkable. Clear the media manager cache lol and it deleted all files in the card. So anyways I'm downloading the globe 4.1.2 version feb 2013

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-N7100&pcode=GLB#firmware

As for the OTA updates, what do I need to replace again? Last time I changed the sweden firmware to sun firmware. It worked well except I didn't get any updates. And there was an issue with the messaging application. The radio? How do I do that through KIES or heimdall ?

What's arhd ? Im swapping my phone with my bro because he wants to sell it ( a month old phone ). I've been an iphone , samsung jet , s2 and now note 2 user but whatever os I choose it doesn't matter. One thing I have realized is the phone size , and for me when I go out, the note 2 is a bit bulky with the spigen cover =)
[Galaxy Note II General] sesepark:
Android Revolution HD. To be honest the size was weird for me for the first 2-3 weeks but then once I got used to the difference I didn't mind it anymore. When I would use my iPhone again (I gave it to my gf) the screen feels tiny in comparison
[Galaxy Note II General] note2graphics:
I see. I have updated to the globe 4.1.2 firmware.

- The memory card still can't be fixed. Some of the images in the gallery are missing and it still freezes. I reformatted the card ( phone is like 2 months old so not a lot of pics, i also have backups so it's no problem ).

- If I reset the phone to a factory version , it resets to 4.1.2 correct ? Should I also wipe the cache etc ? I want everything clean when we swap phones.

- My phone has a hardbook spigen case which adds to the bulk of the phone. I also want to try using ios again. So I can use both ios, and android ( my tablet ).

- The issue with the memory card, how do I prevent it from happening again?

Original Back Cover

Ei guys! Just wanted to ask if you have an alternative to this. My back cover has been severely scratched by this cheap leather-back-swiveling-flip case which I don't know its name nor brand. Anyway, I contacted the local service center and the original back cover costs P1600 plus I have to wait 5 days. Just wondering if you guys have know where to get one, aside from the usual online options.

On a side note, Sammobile just released a firmware for a Globe N7105... sign of things to come?

[Galaxy Note II General] spidey24:
hello evryone. just want to ask if what is the meaning of this icon on my notifications? the one between the 3g and the alarm icon.
[Galaxy Note II General] bobotski:
I think that's the icon for VoLTE which is a variant of LTE. Its implemented in Korea and apparently your unit came from there (based on your signature).
[Galaxy Note II General] spidey24:
thank u for the reply sir bobotski. is there any way to get rid of this?i already rooted my unit. the fone is fine. i can receive and send call and text messages. but the problem is I cannot register to the promo of smart telecom. like for ex. unlimited call and text. but i was able to load a regular amount.

I've noticed at times when charging the status LED turns to blinking amber instead of the usual green or red. I'm not sure what it means but what I do is to take off the battery and put it back in the charger and it goes back to either green or red depending on the charging status.

I had a similar problem back in stock 4.1.1.

My phone was on for more than a week or two, i usually charge the phone without turning off. and of course not letting it down to 0%.

Then I noticed that at times I do not get LED notifications whenever I have a text or other notifications (blue/green/violet/red).

Supposedly, the LED is also on steady red when it's charging below 100%. But there weren't any.

So, I just turned off the phone for about 2 minutes and turned it back on. Problem was fixed.

Ever since, I had the habit of rebooting my phone once in a while and it didn't occur again.

After upgrading to stock 4.1.2, I never experienced this again.

But now I'm getting irritated with a different problem on 4.1.2. :(

Screen Rotation doesn't work properly, especially when viewing photos taken from the Camera app. :(
