[Galaxy Note II General] francis820:
Ei guys, I'm having a strange boot loop with my N7100, which suddenly started 2 days ago. It actually boots fine when in Airplane Mode. I've already tried resetting to factory settings via Philz Recovery (rooted stock ND4 btw) and reinstalling a pure stock copy of the ROM via Odin. In the process of elimination I removed the SIM lock, which was my only chance to get into Airplane Mode before going to the homescreen, where the loop actually happens. So right now I have nothing else to stop the continuous loop other than taking out the battery. Any suggestions or advice guys? I'd really hate to think it's a hardware issue. :(

I have this Korean variant (SHV-e250s) and I'm wondering if the Smart's LTE connection will work. I'm not kinda aware of these different band frequencies. Another thing, what's new with the 4.4.2 update? I'm planning to update though I'm having a dilemma because I bought my phone as second-hand, rooted, stock rom etc. I don't know what other modifications the first owner did. So, if I update it I don't have any ideas on what will happen to this? Is there any problem that might occur ?
[Galaxy Note II General] jon1011:
Is your phone still under contract with Globe? I've heard that they can do it for you once the contract is over.
[Galaxy Note II General] gdonanthony:
yes but the contract is new.. and i want to use the globe sim but my mother dont want to use the Globe lock note2 shes using another sim brand

zerolemon is available in the philippines, I ordered online though through their site, got my extended battery in less than 2 weeks.

it kinda makes your phone fat AND heavy, which is fine with me but other people dont like it

I was recently under lock too with Globe. I downgraded my firmware to 4.1.1 (google is your friend since 4.1.1 isn't available on sammobile when I looked for it) and followed this guide, it worked for me and I can now use any sim on my phone.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2014982

PS, I was on 4.4.2 at the time when I downgraded, knox was already disabled and unsintalled. the menu will NOT appear on 4.4.2, and the menu is incomplete on 4.3 so you cant unlock your phone unless the firmware is lower. I havent tried the menu on 4.1.2 though I have the rom,

I just realized that I dont need the extra juice anymore. Since I dont get to use my phone much on office hours, I get home with 80-90% from charging the phone the previous night. I only exhaust the battery when Im at home all day and tinker with the phone.

Reasonable price for GT-N7100

Guys,

How much do you think would our Note 2 (GT-N7100) reasonably cost if sold?

I bought mine from Kimstore last December 2012 (UAE version) at P24,600. It's currently all stock, but I changed the ROM to an XTE version.

Of course, I checked Kimstore's current price and did not find any N7100 variant available. But they are selling the LTE version N7105 at around P17,+++.
[Galaxy Note II General] jon1011:

Anybody home?

Looking at the previous posts, it seems that most of the people here have been inactive in the past few months.

baka lumipat na rin sila kung saan ko binabalak lumipat. lol :silly:

Or I guess there isn't much to talk about on this thread anymore. :(

i've been racking my brains on how to connect my girlfriend's n7105 to avail of Sun Cellular's free mobile data..i'm running dn3 v5, changed the model number from sm-g900f back to gt-n7105, changed modems and reverted, edited the apn settings and all that but still can't connect..i've been on google for the last 5 hours or so but still cant find a fix..when i try to activate gprs i get a reply that says 'handset is not yet supported, dial 200 for assistance'..i dialed 200 and hung up when i realized i was listening to the call queue music for 10 minutes already..any advice?:crying:
[Galaxy Note II General] red_hanks:
My n7100 came from Smart Communications so it's locked with them. I've tried a different network SIM way way back and was able to confirm that it is locked with Smart, but I did not bother to unlock it because I have several old phones that I can use. Since my postpaid subscription will end January nextyear (though I know I never unlock it but I did flash a lot of custom ROMs because I have ORD :p ), I decided to try my Globe SIM and to my amaze it's working! I am sure I did not unlock it but maybe one of those custom ROMs that I used SIM unlocked my n7100...

Guys need help.. my phone got an update kaya lang nag dead batt when i restarted my phone wala na sya wifi i tried to reflash via odin kaya lang i got an error na "Not registered on network" may signal bar naman kaya lang emergency call only ang lumalabas.

sabi dito corrupted efs folder daw. so tried flashing modem file but to no avail...

any help will be appreciated. thanks mga kabayan
[Galaxy Note II General] erljayp:
Try using Samsung Kies :)
[Galaxy Note II General] red_hanks:
Do you have EFS backup? Go to sammobile, download the correct firmware (smart, globe, openline) and flash it via Odin..that's what I did before and it works...Good luck
[Galaxy Note II General] briant_bhw:
yun nga lang wala akong efs back-up? paano kaya to? any alternative?naDL ko na ung bagong release ng FW sa sammobile ganun pa rin.still getting that 0049 imei

Current Custom ROM

Anybody still using the n7100? :)

I still am. In terms of custom ROM, I'm not happy with the lollipop ROMS that are currently available for the note 2.

The notification panel shortcuts don't make much sense to me. No 2G - 3G switch and you would have to do 2 taps to switch on mobile data. :(

I'm thinking of going back to Kitkat roms but I'm not as trigger happy about changing ROMS like before, I changed ROMS many times in a week.

RIP Note2

2 weeks ago, my Note2 just died. :(

It was ~25hrs after I posted it as for sale on my FB page (nagtampo. lol).

Battery was low, WiFi and GPS turned on, and was using the GrabTaxi application when the screen suddenly turned off and wouldn't turn back on. LED indicator is not also working when I tried to charge it. When I try to turn it on, I could only see the screen lighting in a dark shade of green for a few seconds then disappears.

I'll bring this at a Samsung Service Center and hopefully they could revive my phone.
[Galaxy Note II General] LuckySwitz:
They can but..

I hope they won't charge you for a higher price..

Sent from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II General] jon1011:
Yeah... That's what I'm also worried about.

If they charge it higher than the phone's current market value, then I may already have to bury it now. lol
[Galaxy Note II General] LuckySwitz:
LOL. I hope my Note2 can stay a bit longer.

BTW, if you'll not gonna use your phone, can you donate your Spen to me? Or even sell it on a lower price.. :D

Sent from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II General] jon1011:
Guess what? I just went to a local Samsung Service Center... They said it was already for LCD replacement and such repair/replacement would probably cost ~8,000php. HOWEVER, since I bought my unit from Kimstore, they said it wasn't compatible with the stocks they have as my unit was bought from UAE. They will look for class A parts and notify me in case they find one.
[Galaxy Note II General] LuckySwitz:
In that price,you can buy already a 2nd hand phone with a higher unit with top condition than we are using right now..

My note 2 was soaked in the rain, back few months ago. Just wondering if how much is the repair/replacement of Note 2 board in Greenhills,

anyone has an idea?
[Galaxy Note II General] acgamby:
Hi guys. I hope there are still a few more active users of samsung note 2 here.

What replacement battery brands can you suggest for our phone (SGN2)? I just replaced the OEM battery last year, (bought one from a samsung store at a mall for around 2k++ PHP) and just last week, that battery ballooned a bit. So I was trying to look for a cheaper one but still performs like an OEM battery.

Thank you and hoping to hear from you guys!
[Galaxy Note II General] LuckySwitz:
Buy an OEM battery and take care of it. Class A batteries are not suggested due to some defectiveness of it.
[Galaxy Note II General] acgamby:
Thank you Sir.

BTW, another question, my SGN2 suddenly is not being recognized by my laptop whenever I am connecting my phone to it. I am still using the data cable that I was using before when it was still being recognized by my laptop. Any ideas how to fix this? I tried to search online and did that *#(dial numbers) and followed their instructions, to no avail.
[Galaxy Note II General] LuckySwitz:
You may try other options by connecting to other PC. Try other cable. I'm using a short cable whenever I'm connecting to my PC.

Arkadaşlar rom nasıl atabilirim
[Galaxy Note II General] Hexabuild:
Hi guys, I have a SG Note 2 LTE (GT-7105) I flashed a 4.1.1 version using Odin it was completed but now it just loads the logo "Samsung" I came from the version 4.4.2. I am downgrading to unlock the sim using the dial trick. Does anyone have a 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 version of the official Samsung ROM for Globe PH? And may I ask is it okay to downgrade from 4.4.2 directly to 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 and would I be able to unlock the carrier using the trick on those version? Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note II General] kinsenas:
Oh,that's sad to hear. I am hessitant to buy in the gray market so I think i will settle for a 16gb then. I'll try cmk cellphones tomorrow. thanks man :D
[Galaxy Note II General] prinzhernan:
Yeah I actually asked them why they aren't releasing the higher capacity ones and they said it's too expensive for our market and not viable.
[Galaxy Note II General] kinsenas:
What are my disadvantage if I buy in the gray market? would i be able to root it or it's much too risky to do it?
[Galaxy Note II General] prinzhernan:
Of course you can root and all but if something goes wrong with your phone samsung Philippines won't repair it. You have to send it back to the place where you bought it. Also, if parts need to be changed you have to pay for it. If you get a phone with the ntc sticker and local warranty parts and service are covered for 1 year.
[Galaxy Note II General] kinsenas:
Do you think it will be worth the additional price for the N2 with the NTC seal? I am torn between the gray and w/ the NTC because I know that I am careful with my gadgets and might not benefit from the NTC seal, but i am thinking "What if?" hahahahaha
[Galaxy Note II General] prinzhernan:
You really can't tell when gadgets are going to fail on you. My friend's s2 suddenly broke down after around 9 months without any warning. Samsung said it was the motherboard and the charge is around 10k. Since she didn't have an ntc seal Samsung phils wouldn't even repair her phone even if she was willing to pay. She had to send it back to the shop where she got it from. Until now still not fixed. If she had gotten one with local warranty no problem, within 2 weeks it would've been fixed no charges and hassle.

In the end if you're willing to risk it it's your choice really.
[Galaxy Note II General] kinsenas:
You're right. I can never tell what might happen. I think I will stick to my earlier stand to buy the one with the seal. Thank you so much man! :D

[Galaxy Note II General] DigitalAnalog:
What kind of reset is enough to remove all the carrier bloatware from the Note II?
[Galaxy Note II General] prinzhernan:
You can't do that through reset. Either remove the apps using titanium backup or flash a generic rom to it like our local one XTC.

Well the decent ones so far are Capdase for screen protector. I personally like the official Samsung flip case.
[Galaxy Note II General] rom3l:
Thank you for this info Prinz! :)
[Galaxy Note II General] badbadtz.carlo:
wanted to try the samsung flipcover but backed out when i saw it on a friend's unit. not comfortable with the idea of unprotected back. :)

no store i visited had the sammy gel case, so i settled with Capdase with free screen pro. got mine at Megamall Cyberzone just this morning.

:good:
[Galaxy Note II General] prinzhernan:
Nice! I had that dilemma too but I didn't like the idea of making the phone any thicker because it's already big as it is. Hehe.
[Galaxy Note II General] hazzik:
how much is the capdase with screen protector?
[Galaxy Note II General] teekoy:
^ the case/screen protector combo is 1k in greenhills last time I checked. But the screen protector included as free is only the ordinary one. Capdase also sells the anti fingerprint version of the sp separately but is more expensive @600 bucks. :D

Hi guys, some of my colleagues said that globe services in taguig/McKinley area are too slow. Now I am hessitant to get the plan :( . What are your thoughts about these claims?
[Galaxy Note II General] Operative:
Globe's signal is really slow compared to Smart. But take into consideration the data cap of Smart is 1.5 gig a month. After that you will only get 240 kbps. =)

[Galaxy Note II General] kinsenas:
Thanks for the replies guys. I think i will not take the plan. I was on robinson's pioneer last night and found 30.8k note II. Are there any suggestions on where I can buy a cheaper? Is someone here bought a grey unit? are they reliable?
[Galaxy Note II General] prinzhernan:
It's always a risk buying a gray unit. Suppliers are different, naturally you'd have varying experiences with reliability. 30.8k is a good price if that's a local unit with Samsung Philippines warranty.

Also, read back through the thread, there was someone who posted about buying a gray unit. He got the unit sealed but when he opened the phone up it was tampered with (rooted, etc), so stickers are not proof that the unit they're selling you is brand new.
[Galaxy Note II General] PaulitoX77:
Dude that is a good deal already. Here in Baguio the competition prices are 32,990 at Samsung shop, then beside their shop is Hello Telecom which sells it for 31k (plus a free phone..a cheap one) then at another shop nearby its 31,800 etc etc

All with Samsung Warranty.

Better spend on that samsung warranty, you are paying for peace of mind lol
