Guys need some help here, I rooted my fone last month and had no problems at all, however there's one thing I noticed...

Im on globe's postpaid plan and data has been tremendously great, I even reach dl speed on a torrent download of 488kbps under HSPA+, however after I rooted my fone I rarely reach what I usually before.

I've been reading the forums here and somebody told that rooting the fone has no issue with the carrier/network. Somehow I'm thinking that it is...
[Galaxy Note II General] jon1011:
I think there is, but I haven't discovered on how to do it yet on our Note 2.

On my previous phone, and other android phones as well, you could dial *#*#4636#*#* and you will be able to set it there.

Like 2G only, 3G only, LTE only, 2G/3G, etc.

---------- Post added at 07:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 AM ----------

Are you still using the same ROM after rooting?

Was your baseband changed?

Could the signal be the problem? as what others stated in previous posts.
[Galaxy Note II General] TonyGN2-14:
Yes same ROM still, I just rooted the fone for the purpose of using uab otg for ntfs hard drives.

About signal prob, i hardly notice that since it still shows that's it's in hspa+

And baseband is also the same...
[Galaxy Note II General] shadi22:
WCDMA is for H+ and 3g signal.. GSM is for Gprs and Edge.. is you want a faster packet data.. u need a WCDMA only.. to lock to 3g only and doesnt go down to a Gsm signal.. I think you were referring to CDMA... fyi
[Galaxy Note II General] PaulitoX77:
Globe has a problem with their CS, On my first ever complaints they day after we lost 3G i already made sure i explained everything. Then they would just say "according to the system..." in short they rely on what their system tells them. I was told to turn off phone, remove sim, bla bla bla. So you have to trust them at first so i did.

It reached 6 months. I think they dont read the whole complaint. They just take keywords like your location and your number. Then they rely on system check. Imagine 6 freaking months they relied on their system checks only, they didnt even bother to come do a site check lol.

You really have to get their attention, I went total irate on my last complaint and personal visit to their office. Their lamest reason was my location was too far, so i asked if they did some modifications last July 26, they said no. So how in the freaking world could i be subscribed to their Wireless Broadband Internet service for 2 years that is 3G based if my location was too far? And the finale, yeah i really let them cut my Smart sim and showed them i inserted it in my Note II.

And the next day, we got 3G...oh wait constant H hahaha. "Pampalubag loob"?

As if their system checks know everything
[Galaxy Note II General] kenethic:
Hi guys. Looks like the new patch really did a good job on battery usage..
[Galaxy Note II General] EarlZ:
I didnt even realize that Globe/Smart has actual and real LTE service, Maybe its just HSPA+ ?
[Galaxy Note II General] maxram:
Only in Manila and surrounding places. It might take a year or more before it can reach mindanao.

It sucks cause they got me n7100. Their adverts showed lte capable sgn2. Grrr

Oh snap! I don't have a witty tapatalk signature!

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

Freaking true about their CS. If I'm calling to report a network related problem what I hate to hear is that there's no problem when in fact I'm calling because I am experiencing a problem.

There was one time when calls and text were affected. It was clear already that my calls get dropped after 2 to 3 minutes. 25 calls in 30 minutes to 211 cs using two phone numbers and they still don't believe that there's a problem according to tier system.

Oh snap! I don't have a witty tapatalk signature!

Help

Hi guys , Just got my note 2 days ago via dbgadgets sale ( multiply marketplace 5,000 k off, so I paid around 21,500 including shipping na ).

I'm wondering about my firmware version if this is from the Philippines or from germany or europe? I didn't get an english manual that came with the phone.

Android Version 4.1.1

Baseband Version N7100XXALJ2

kernel version 3.0 31 - 310959

se.infra@SEP-96#1

SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 10 21:08:07 KST 2012

Build Number

JRO03C.N7100XXALJ3

Tried clicking software update via wifi but it said updated na daw. Even on samsung kies ( i'm on a mac btw ) or maybe I should try windows kies ?

I want to change my firmware to something more reliable and gets frequent updates via wifi if possible so I don't get to root / flash stuff , medyo tinatamad na kasi ako mag ganun. And I really like the features on 4.2 on my nexus 7. It has soft keys for settings,home and recent apps which I like but I think pwede ito sa current version ko , forgot the name lang. So I want to upgrade this version to something more reliable, battery efficient and automatic ung updates to future android versions.

Globe LTE is also sim-card dependent. Are you using one? :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Mega001:
Site to check if Globe has 4G in your area: globe .com .ph /netowrk or network .globe .com .ph. The 1st link will just redirect you to the 2nd.

Also, N7105 version of Note 2 is LTE capable. N7100 or international variant of Note 2 is only up to HSPA+ which Globe, Smart and Sun may have sold its customers.

Nexus phones are often 1st to get latest android version because of the manufacturer's partnership with Google (Nexus Google brand). The last time I checked 4.2.2 is the latest android version whick is available on some Nexus phones.

You should be able to know the region where your phone came from your 1st boot where the setup will display the native language of its region. You can try resetting your phone by accessing settings>back up and reset(under personal)>Factory data reset to run the 1st boot set up again if you haven't put any important files or games to your phone.

Have you tried rebooting your phone, connecting to different wifi network, or using your mobile data to update your phone? If it does not work check "www .sammobile .com" for latest firmware on your phone (GT-N7100) and download it to your computer and update your phone using samsung kies. The latest firmware for PH GT-N7100 phones is N7100XXDMA5 according to sammobile. Last resort is to reset your phone.
[Galaxy Note II General] jon1011:
Does your phone have a NTC sticker at the back? (where the battery is placed)

And, is there a country indicated below the Build Number?

If you want to get OTA updates, you'd have to flash the latest PH version AFAIK.
[Galaxy Note II General] note2graphics:
>> I just checked the previous pages of this thread >>

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=37195932#post37195932

and sadly there's no ntc sticker. This note2 from dbgadgets is also service warranty only.

I want to update toe the latest ph version, can I do this with a mac ?

Current firmware version : PDA:LJ3 / PHONE:LJ2 / CSC:LJ2 (AUT)

I got this info when I connected my n2 to samsung kies, what does ( AUT ) mean? http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=1&t=1 << so this is from switzerland correct?
[Galaxy Note II General] tenshi888:
Yeah, I wouldn't feel bad about that. I'm sure the deals aren't so great, plus who knows, the lines might be crazy. Yeah good point on the people selling their cases! What's new with your note so far? Me, its been great for work! Calls are nice, loud and clear. Texting on the big screen is fantastic and everything is just buttery smooth. A really good, polished device.
[Galaxy Note II General] prinzhernan:
Exactly. I really would pay for convenience. Can't wait till those cases float in sulit or tipidcp.

So far it's fantastic. Night and day compared to my s3. No matter how much apps I open they're all held in memory and aren't closed. That's the reason why I sold my s3, I hated that my apps and browser had to reload when I multi task. Call clarity is excellent. I love the big screen, very sharp and bright. Texting is really easy and handwriting recognition is surprisingly accurate. Battery life is great though I kinda panic when it hits 30 percent, this is out of habit because of my experience with the s3. I must agree, I haven't held a device this polished. Everything just glides, no stuttering, it just works. I'm really Samsung was able to deliver this time.
[Galaxy Note II General] jetv1r:
hi guys try the Android Revolution HD 2 Rom...great one...
[Galaxy Note II General] amf:
Just got the Note 2 last Wednesday (Titanium Gray, unlocked from Samsung)!

My last Android device was a Dell Streak 5 (prior to that, I have the HTC Flyer, HTC Desire and Xperia Arc). I'm actually an iOS fan (I have all the iPhone iterations starting with the 1st iPhone up to my 2 week old iPhone 5).

After more than a year hiatus with Androids, I decided to get the Note 2. I swore never to get back to Android but the S-Pen made me eat my words! It's one helluvva Phablet! And if things work out fine, it's another iOS and Android mariage that won't end in a divorce! :)

I already have the cheap but quite useful imitation-leather that swivels and rotates and replaces the back cover (no NFC antenna). Looking forward to an official Samsung cover and an SGP GLASt Screen Protector.
[Galaxy Note II General] gtizon:
Any of you planning to root? I have no idea how to root this thing. There are guides but I'm iffy I can comprehend every step. Too risky! :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note II General] jetv1r:
if you have the old bootloader its a little bit risky..but if you have the new one its ok....
[Galaxy Note II General] fatbuccha:
Are you on winxp sp3 too? I will try to do that, if i remember correctly ever since i bought gtab i cant connect to kies
[Galaxy Note II General] prinzhernan:
No I'm not but kies got a major overhaul recently so I think the support has improved. Just make sure to in install and download the latest kies.
[Galaxy Note II General] gtizon:
Ummm how'd I know what bootloader I have?
[Galaxy Note II General] Yaozer:
Guys, just got my Note 2 yesterday, was able to update it to LJ3 already via Kies. Question, has anyone tried popping in a Sandisk Ultra 64GB Micro SD in the Note 2? Does it work 100%? I was trying to surf the net about this, but all I found were Galaxy S3 problems with it. How about the Note 2? I wonder if exFAT is supported 100% in Jelly Bean. I'm about to buy one but hesitating because of the lack of info on support/compatibility.
[Galaxy Note II General] Jamal Ahmed:
Hi there~~ im not filipino :D but i really love philipines :D

I have alot of online friends from philipine :)

If you guys want anything, ill be happy to help a filipino! :D be sure to tell me if i can help (im aiming to be a recognized developer and try to amswer everything i know :D)

Btw just came here to tell you guys that ALJ3 for philipinnes is out :3 sorry if you guys already knew that. Searched the thread but couldnt find a mention of it :D
[Galaxy Note II General] prinzhernan:
Hi. I have that exact same micro sd card. It works 100% flawlessly. When you first put it in your note 2 format it using the phone before putting stuff into it. Mine is 90% full now. Tv shows that I torrent to my note 2. Buy with confidence. I suggest you buy in gamextreme. It costs 2650 there. They have a branch in Glorietta 3, Greenhills and Alabang town center.
[Galaxy Note II General] Yaozer:
Hello prinzhernan, when you used the phone to reformat the Sandisk 64GB, does it give you an option to format in exFAT or FAT32? If not, does it format in exFAT? I'm planning on putting video files that are bigger than 4GB, so I'm hoping I won't be stuck with FAT32. I want to test using the MHL adapter to output 1080P videos unto a TV screen. By the way, your are using stock LJ3 ROM, right?

Yeah it's TV series season for me now, so a 64GB storage is a must! Fringe, Homeland, Once Upon A Time, Walking Dead, CSI, Vampire Diaries! :D
[Galaxy Note II General] vaud27:
hi. this is my first time posting on xda. i bought 2 galaxy note 2 from gray market(ghills) for me and for my sister. i checked the seals before opening the box. everything is fine and i bought the 2 note after checking it. when i got home i checked everything again and i see that my note 2 is already rooted. it has an app called supersu and i check the custom binary download and it says yes and the system status is also custom instead of official. i checked the other note but it is fine. i texted the owner of the shop where i bought the note and he told me that it is impossible for them to fake the seal of the box. he's also my 'suki' so i am confident in dealing with him. do you think they can fake the seal of the box and gave me a second hand unit? the unit is good as bnew in appearance. it has no dent or hairline scratches. the plastic in the back and in the front where also there when we open the box. even the charger, battery and the headset where still in the plastic just like the other note that i bought and everything is clean.

Upgrading from Note to Note 2

Guys, been searching for a while now but cant find a definite answer. I have my Galaxy Note for a year now, and planning to upgrade to Note 2 this weekend at Mall of Asia. They have this, trade in promo.

Anyway, how can I transfer my files from the note to the new note 2? i have an ios and basically to do that in an ios, you just have to backup the old iphone and sync the new iphone in. and its done. apps, contacts, videos, photos, etc is transferred to the new phone. is it possible in an android? specially on a samsung galaxy note to galaxy note 2? or what other ways? kies perhaps? will that work like an itunes? i totally have no idea, galaxy note was my first android so this is my first time transferring files to the new one.

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note II General] prinzhernan:
It formats it by default to exFAT. Yep I'm on stock LJ3.

You should try Person of Interest, Arrow, and Suits! I just finished downloading the whole first season of Once Upon a Time and I also finished Homeland two weeks ago.
[Galaxy Note II General] Yaozer:
Hey thanks man for all the info, I will try to call GameXtreme Glorietta 3 tomorrow and see if they have stock of the Sandisk 64GB Class 10. Can't wait!

I've heard a lot of good things about Suits and Arrow, I might try to download them too. I'll check out Person of Interest. The first season of Homeland was just so so (probably because of the season ender), but the first two episodes of season 2 is niiice! It is starting to get really interesting. I've downloaded episode 3 already but haven't had the chance to watch it yet.
[Galaxy Note II General] prinzhernan:
Yes you can definitely fake the seals. This is usually done in Hong Kong or Singapore. It's not normal at all to get root in a sealed phone. Sorry to say but someone tampered with your unit and made it appear to be new.

Hi! Contacts are synced directly with your Google account. Apps need to be downloaded again from the play store. Videos and pictures can be backed up by inserting your USB cable to your laptop and backing up files manually.

Or you can do all this automatically through kies. Just update your kies to the latest version. Then backup the phone contents. Then when you get your new note 2 restore from that backup. As safety I recommend backing up twice.
[Galaxy Note II General] geraldo3:
This is weird, whenever i insert my Nano LTE sim with SIM Adapter to my samsung galaxy note 2, (n7105), it not getting detected, however inserting it back to my iPhone 5, it works prefectly, I tried to have it replaced and ended up with same results. Nano SiM gets detected though. :/ help?

http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N7100

there you can check there, and the latest firmware for the AUT units is N7100XXDLL7 which is 4.1.2

You will not be able to update through Kies, PC or MAC since your unit does not have PH firmware, but you should be able to get OTA updates. There are lost of people who got their units from grey markets, they dont have the PH firmware but once there is an update to the regions where their phones are from they are able to receive OTA updates

I know one who got a DBT csc on his unit, when the PH updates came in he could not update via OTA nor KIES.

But once there was a DBT update, he was able to use OTA.

AUT has 4.1.2 already, you should be getting OTA updates. If not then if you really want the latest PH firmware then you have to flash through ODIN.

When I flash to the latest PH firmware, will I get OTA updates ? And If I root my phone , the only way to update the firmware is through ODIN / Heimdall and that requires to back things up etc right?

If I root my phone and just use the official samsung firmware I won't get OTA updates but can I update through kies or only through ODIN/Heimdall ?

-- I just want to remove the bloatware in samsung and I can't recall if the go themes requires rooting ( rooted my s2 before )

What happened on my Note 2?

I charge it using the wall charger at 4pm at 10% battery life (my phone's off btw), I woke up at 6:30pm and surprised that the LED indicator isn't green yet. So I turned it on, i found out that the battery level is only at 50%. Usually it's just 1 & 1/2 - 2hrs only, 5hrs after its still at 82%. I'm using the charger and the cable that's included in the package. What could be the problem? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II General] sexonj:
You rooted? What rom you using? This started happening when?
[Galaxy Note II General] francis820:
Any changes you've done lately (rooted, flashed ROM/modem/kernel, etc)?
[Galaxy Note II General] razrzxcvbnm:
None. I'm on stock JB 4.1.2. This just happened today. I've had my Note on 12th January and this is the first time that it happened. I have an app (battery widget reborn) it says my charging speed is 4mins 18secs/1%. I just installed it today so I don't if its normal. Its 91% now since my last post.
[Galaxy Note II General] francis820:
I just read some reviews on that. Generally the response was good, but there were a few comments saying that it's reading the battery inaccurately and it's quite a resource hog (eats 30mb of your ram as one user pointed out). I'd say you wait 'till your next charging cycle and see if it's the same problem.
[Galaxy Note II General] tipsy13:
Nice! What branch did you get this from? Cheap!
[Galaxy Note II General] razrzxcvbnm:
Will do. Should I wait until it drops to 15% before charging? Thanks! :good:
[Galaxy Note II General] tipsy13:
Sir try other cables, if you haven't done anyyhing to your note then it might be the cable or the charger

. Try using the galaxy charging current app.. You'll see if the current being supplied to your phone is correct.. Correct value should be at least 1600 in current ave.. Mine is 1900..normal is 1800
