Replace tw_background_holo_dark for touchwiz apps... for other apps, change background_holo_dark with desired image. it is found in response/drawable-nodpi. You can use winRAR to replace the image. I don't think that's advanced for you.

guys when you open links in the FB app, does it open the Youtube app or goes to m.youtube.com on your default browser? I tried clearing defaults but there is no option to open in Youtube app. However, it only happens in the news feed. In messages, youtube links open the Youtube app correctly.

Hey guys! Looking to buy a note 2. Are there any mall stores or retail shops that has pricing like online Kim's store? I would like to inspect the phone prior to buying to ensure it has the newest firmware revision to reduce the brick bug from happening. I would buy from Kim store but there is no way to check this until after purchase. Anyone know of a good place that sells below retail price?
[Galaxy Note II General] redlinux:
There is no telling which units have the latest 4.1.2 firmware installed. I don't think it's that big of a deal anyway unless you do something stupid with your new phone. Even if you eventually buy an old 4.1.1 in it, you can instantly update to 4.1.2 via OTA on your first boot up.

Relax..everything should be just fine. :D

Just a quick question guys..

If i turn on the power saving option but the cpu power saving is unticked, is there a difference in smoothness with the power saving option completely off?
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
^No, there shouldn't be much difference. I think it would turn off some features etc. and get that blue tint on (if I'm right) while browsing.

warranty claim

Please help me what to do with my Sandisk 64gb microsdxc that I bought last December thru Gamextreme in Vmall. It doesnt have the 1 year warranty included on the receipt and Im afraid they will reject my request for a replacement since no warranty indicated on my receipt but according to the consumer all products or services should have warranty up to 1 year. What happened when I bought it was I am on a rush so I just ask the lady that I need sandisk 64gb pay for it and she issue me a receipt and then went out to the store. And I did not realize that there should be a warranty included on the receipt . What do you think guys?

need your help/advise.... just recently flash omega rom running persues kernel... my problem is that charging time was increase from 2hrs to 3hrs or more.

Thanks in advance

Btw... cant raise this issue directly to omega thread... admin didnt allow me to post due to my account has less than 10 post...

Thanks again...
[Galaxy Note II General] cruzargel:
I also have this problem. I'm on perseus to. My charging time is 3-3.5 hours. Check my posts on the kernel's thread. Btw, what kernel are you using before?
[Galaxy Note II General] Ethan501:
From Stock kernel.. have you resolve the battery issues then? Please share it.. thanks
[Galaxy Note II General] Simone:
Try switching USB cords and chargers. I'm using an Apple charger and stock Note 2 cord and could charge 1-100% in less than 2 hours.

[Galaxy Note II General] NadMaj:
battery calibration has long been mythbusted.... it has no effect whatsoever... read about it here....

and i assure you it has nothing to do with omega.... kernel issue?.... not sure.... but sudden long charging hours is a common issue here in the note2 forum.. just browse the general section...

first step is try a different charger and see if it solves your prob..
[Galaxy Note II General] Simone:
As a long XDA user, trust me, this is true.

its a unit from a friend (ofw from korea)

the unit still virgin, never been repaired or rooted

suddenly when it starts logo of samsung will appear and suddenly it flickered

then screen is blank - nothing

i tried searching google but this is only what i got

youtube.com/watch?v=6e507slRFJ4

thats exactly the status of the unit (in youtube link there is no answer how to fix it)

but all led are functioning after the logo flickered

is there someone out there can help me?

any idea or suggestions?
[Galaxy Note II General] karlonicolas:
Flash another a stock rom over that. Install Odin on pc go to phone download mode and flash an appropriate rom from sammobile. That may be a corrupted flash

thats my problem sir :(

how should i know which rom is for my unit?

any link for the step-by-step?

sorry im just a newbie in flashing/rooting

actually i only rooted once last month (thats my first time) a cmda phone using odin

Hello my fellow Filipinos,

I need a reply for this ASAP.

Does anyone us a "Pocket Wifi" of any network?

Kasi I went to Smart today and they said that in order to use the Smart Pocket wifi {Prepaid} your phone must have a Smart sim card as well to make it work.

Strange. Is this one of their gimmicks? Or is it true?
[Galaxy Note II General] Ethan501:
If you bought the pocket wifi to a certain carrier it must be locked to them and u must use their sim... unless you know how to openline the unit before you can use other sim... thats what i know..
[Galaxy Note II General] cruzargel:
That's dumb. You may try connecting before buying though.
[Galaxy Note II General] Simone:
LOL. I find it misleading. I was thinking, if I bought the prepaid Smart Pocket Wifi, I need to use one of there sim cards on my phone?

On the other hand, they were telling me that only a Smart sim could be used in the Pocket Wifi?

... Fvcking stupidly confusing haha

In short, what I want to know is, if I bought the Smart Pocket wifi, I could use it on my Note 2 with a Globe prepaid sim card?

I know it's a stupid question LOL but just please, answer this post so my conscience can be satisfied. :highfive:
[Galaxy Note II General] [dcw]aaron:
Why not go buy pocket wifis that are already open line. (Eg. Huawei)
[Galaxy Note II General] jhempelayo:
thanks a lot for the reply and for the very useful link sir

but before i proceed sir, since its came from korea and i think its been updated via kies here in the philippines, how can i know/find out what CSC is my unit? (since its already dark screen)

hope for your kind consideration for my continues asking and sorry for my poor grammar....

---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 AM ----------

ok as what i understand - SMART Pocket wifi is using smart sim (since its locked in smart)

then you want to connect your Noted 2 that is using Globe sim to your smart pocket wifi = of course sir no problem in connection because your connecting via wifi and not using sim to sim connection (which is imposible)

hope that helps
[Galaxy Note II General] NadMaj:
you're on Omega right?... go to Omega Files/kernels and flash the kernel of your choice... :)

i don't have a note2 but i will recommend redpill kernel of our kabayan pongster.. :)

and i don't do benchmarks so i don't know what the average score is for the note2 but don't mind that... you can see high benchmark scores from others because they kill processes and OC max before doing the benchmark to attain high scores (to brag about it).. but they can't really use their device daily with those settings right?.. :)

here mate - CSC codes

it really depends on the user... this thread will help you..

SHV-E250K

CSC: MAA -(which i cant find in your link for the code list :(
[Galaxy Note II General] NadMaj:
there's nothing in that pic that says your unit is not brand new..

what you need to do first is to make your device boot.. don't mind csc's first.. your have SHV-E250K so search for firmwares for that unit... also check the korean note II thread...

EDIT: here i found a firmware for your unit (PDA: MC8 and CSC:MAA exactly the same firmware you're on now) - http://www.hotfile.com/dl/201474204/23f4e06/E250KKKVMC8_E250KKTTVMAA_KTF.zip.html

[MENTION=4309610]NadMaj[/MENTION]

after almost one hour downloading - i cant find the file with a name "code"

which is in the instruction link you gave me sir :(

i tried using odin click PDA and opening the extracted folder- bot no such file that PDA supported :(

any more option sir?
[Galaxy Note II General] NadMaj:
can you tell me what's inside the zip you downloaded?... what are the exact file names?.. how many files are in there?.. usually there's only one..

EDIT: i think i get it now... there's no code since it's only one file right?... just a tar.md5 file... put that in odin as PDA..
[Galaxy Note II General] jhempelayo:
file inside sir

the rar file is the original i download from your link

sorry even pit file - i cant find also :(

edit- maybe i need daemon tools to read them

ill check with daemon tools
[Galaxy Note II General] NadMaj:
no just extract the zip then you'll see the tar.md5 file.. that's the one to flash in odin as PDA... and don't tick anything else in odin.. just open it as pda then flash..

EDIT: oops did you extract that zip file using winrar?.. (sorry i wasn't paying attention to the other files on your screnshot).. and those files are what's inside?..

then do this: rename the zip file extension to tar.md5..

so it must now look like this - KIES_HOME_E250KKKVMC8_E250KKTTVMAA_KTF.tar.md5
[Galaxy Note II General] jhempelayo:
yes sir i extracted

i thought it must extract :( sorry newbie only

yes sir now i set odin then pda - i selected that .md5

it all pass 5:5 it says

but the problem sir, after restart - same problem :(

samsung logo then flickered again

as you mentioned before - i posted in korean section

someone told me its the modem... maybe?

sorry for cross posting

a little bit desperate

eidt-
[Galaxy Note II General] NadMaj:
definitely not a modem prob... as you see when you extracted the zip it has a modem.bin (since it's a whole firmware) so when you flashed it totally replaced your system including your current modem...

if you still have a warranty try going to samsung service center.. coz i'm not sure if i can help you any further with your prob... you successfully flashed a new firmware and prob still persist... :eek:

maybe it's a hardware prob?..
[Galaxy Note II General] jhempelayo:
its from korea sir :( so i think they wont accept here unless you will pay huge amount huhuhu...

any suggest rom? and i think thats my last option

if you have link - then i will try :D

[Galaxy Note II General] prinzhernan:
Oh. They must've installed a lot of software to bring it down that low.

Definitely go for titanium gray. I had many white phones before this note including a white s3 but this titanium gray color is just so nicely finished. Very classy.

Got my Note II last night, was not able to stop myself. The screen on this thing is just massive and it just pops. I came from SGSII and I could really see the difference. Hopefully this will last me the next 2 years. hehehe

By the way, Globe has reduced their cash out for the phone. Anybody here who got it from them before the price reduction should ask about rebates.

Also, I know there used to be an option to show only contacts with phone numbers in the Contacts app. I can't seem to find it now. Anyone care to give a screenshot?

Try samsung in trinoma or 5th Avenue in park square. They have complete accessories. The MHL cable you need is the one for the s3. The note 2 and s3 use the same cable.

this is one of the things samsung service center look at to see if you have broken your warranty, if this is more than 0, they will conclude that you rooted or changed your rom so your warranty is voided.
