Note 2: KIES, Sync and Cover

Hi,

I’m a new Note 2 user (less than a week) and so far it’s the right smartphone for me. I just have several questions and inquiries though.

1. I’m using samsung’s KIES to sync my outlook (messages and calendar). But I found out that I can’t sync my Outlook Notes to my Note 2. What do you use to sync your outlook (including notes) to your Note 2?

2. And just recently KIES is stuck at 40% when it’s being sync to my outlook.:(

3. When you install an apps in Note 2, can you move it to the SD card?

4. Where can I find a Flip Cover here in Alabang? Does anyone would know if Seidio and Ballistic case/cover will be available here locally (e.g. otterbox)?

Thanks in advance.:)

Regards,

Scuzzyboy
[Galaxy Note II General] iampoch:
I can't answer your first two questions since I rarely use Kies. As for your second question, you can’t install apps to the microSD card by default. In fact, JB it seems now treat internal storage as one big kahuna, so it renders App to SD apps significantly useless. I only use it to clean up cache.

Are you rooted, though? Because if you are, then you definitely have to check out Directory Bind (search for the thread here in XDA). What it does is it transfers the data and obb files of apps to a user-specified folder in your microSD card and then tricks the apps into thinking that those files are in the internal storage (thus, the name directory bind). I can say that it works like a charm! Very useful for those games that clock in at 2GB or more.
[Galaxy Note II General] scuzzyboy:
Hi,

My unit is not rooted.

I am using MobileGo, but it shows an error when I want to transfer an app to SD card.

Question regarding directory bind:

Do I need to install custom recovery inorder to flash it?
[Galaxy Note II General] prinzhernan:
Not to be pessimistic but it's better safe than sorry. 2k is too cheap for a 64gb class 10 sandisk. Buy at your own risk.
[Galaxy Note II General] Simone:
It's in a bridgeway store, mobile phone area.

Hard to find. I have a 32 GB memory card which I bought for 1,000 pesos. Nothing is wrong with it.

Or if you want to be safe and all, go to Lucky China Town Mall in Divisoria, the Samsung Store there sells a 64 GB Class 10 SD Card for 4,000 pesos :)
[Galaxy Note II General] BratPAQ:
Try gl to sd app here in xda, directory bind "forgets" by binded directory after reboots.
[Galaxy Note II General] vincemf:
Actually thats just the price from USA amazon or maybe newegg. I bought mine from amazon which came really cheap. Actually 2500 is still expensive compared to what other countries are selling. Its just really expensive here in the Philippines.
[Galaxy Note II General] terra_droid:
How did you buy from Amazon? Even if the price is cheaper (saw Sandisk at 52$, Transcend at 49$), the cost of shipping to the Philippines would add to the cost. Did you have it handcarried here? :)
[Galaxy Note II General] redlinux:
I also bought mine from the US. It's really cheap there. I brought it with me along with my new N7100 last year when I came back to the country.

The bottom point is I don't care if it's a cheapo as long as I trust the US vendor. I know it's always authentic. It may be a different story here in the country. :)

[Galaxy Note II General] iampoch:
Yup, JB won't allow you to. It sees the external microSD differently, afaik. You'll need root access for a workaround.

Nope, you just need to be rooted :) I'm on stock ROM and stock recovery. You also don't need to flash it. It's installed as an app.
[Galaxy Note II General] scuzzyboy:
So JB will not allow me to move apps to an SD Card even if I use another software (similar with MobileGo)? If yes, is there any other work around other than rooting the unit?
[Galaxy Note II General] iampoch:
Not in all JB, but in the Note 2's (or with devices that employ high capacity memory) it doesn't. To be fair, though, we've not been able to install to external SD for quite a while. In previous versions, the internal memory is partitioned to two: internal and sd. Thus, when you use any app to SD, they're actually just installed in the internal sd partition, not to the actual microSD card. JB no longer seems to partition the internal memory, or at the very least, no longer shows us the partition.

It also references external memory differently, so unless rooted, you won’t be able to install to external memory card.

Official 4.1.2 N7100XXDLL7 for the Philippines is live according to Sammobile

For all networks and open line units.

Though no OTA yet, will check Kies later
[Galaxy Note II General] prinzhernan:
OTA update finally released! It just got pushed to my phone! Downloading now. I have a local note 2 with local warranty unlocked.
[Galaxy Note II General] dbanzon:
currently downloading the note2 update from sammobile. Its my first time to download for sammobile so im a bit curious how to install this firmware im getting from their site..Do just unzip the zip file then use odin? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II General] PaulitoX77:
updated through Kies. No data lost. Will observe phone and if something goes funny then i might do an FR

db...yeah download, unzip, then use odin

but it would have been easier if you used the OTA.

OTA for me came late lol, i had already started Kies update

still ended up the same at 4.1.2

It's been great! 4.1.2 is faster. I like the swype changes allowing you to set the word you're forming before you're given options to change the word. Symbols quick access is streamlined with the most used punctuations and now has a shortcut to the symbol menu.

Love the customized notification menu. I moved the mobile data near wifi do i don't have to swore to get to it.

[Galaxy Note II General] psycotrompus:
messaging app stuttering

has any of you noticed the scrolling of the stock samsung messaging app stutters (skipping frames) after updating to 4.1.2? this seems to be not a problem in 4.1.1. it really annoys me. despite our phone is the flagship and beast itself, scrolling thru just a list of messages really bothers me. this isn't the case for all other stock samsung apps when scrolling though.

i've managed to remove the stuttering by enabling forced gpu rendering in the developer options. then force kill messaging app from Applications manager, then restart it again.

anyone?

Updated to 4.1.2 via odin and i notice that my battery drains much faster.. :D.. Help guys.. already done some minor adjustments..hope to last at least 20hrs with normal usage :D
[Galaxy Note II General] redlinux:
That's normal with 4.1.2. Usually I get 18-22hrs battery life but I only get about 12-15hrs maxx with mobile data always ON.

This is the very reason I reverted back 4.1.1. I have tried several custom and official 4.1.2 Sammy ROMs with almost the same results.

Sent from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II General] bobotski:
Yes. I'm currently on stock XTC unbranded.
[Galaxy Note II General] PaulitoX77:
dont you want to give the new rom time to settle in?

In my experience i do not notice any changes in the battery drain. well i did a factory reset after upgrading that is.

but of course i am not expert and i am just sharing my experience. Give your phone a few days, say two so that the new firmware can settle in.
[Galaxy Note II General] psycotrompus:
dunno

i guess i have to try flashing the official stock rom for PH. mine has the France DLL4 4.1.2 version flashed even before the official ROM from Samsung for PH is pushed, together with NEAK kernel (yeah, no warranty).

redlinux, so you came from 4.1.1 official then updated to 4.1.2 via OTA or Odin?

Do you know where I can buy palm touchstone so I can try the wireless charging hack?
[Galaxy Note II General] andryhan:
Hi.thanks.. you right..nway just on my first cycle.. just 37 percent.with 18hours..nd 6 hours on screentime.. and I did not reset.opps.. do you think I must do a factory reset? .. and what if I do a factory reset now then reinstall 4.1.2, what will happen? Hehe
[Galaxy Note II General] redlinux:
I got the phone 4.1.1 last year. I then rooted it and kept it stock until I tried custom ROMs and Kernels. I don't use OTA or Odin. Instead I always use Mobile Odin OR CWM Recovery when flashing. Not only that it will take forever to wait for OTA updates, it also only apply to stock firmwares.

When I said 4.1.2 drains more battery faster than 4.1.1, I have tried and tested almost all 4.1.2 Custom ROMs available in XDA as well as Official ROMs in SamMobile.com since leaks started to surface last year. I'm not really a flash junkie but I guess I easily get bored using stock. And yeah... Letting the ROM settle in after 2 or 3 days is a common knowledge and should be practice generally before troubleshooting unusual battery drains. Battery life always depends on the user's phone usage style. To some, claiming longer battery life means using the phone moderately. Others demand full usage with mobile data always ON, games, texts and calls and screen up time before judging battery life.

I'd say battery life is somewhat a subjective topic based on usage.

Sent from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II General] andryhan:
Thanks for the heads up
[Galaxy Note II General] PaulitoX77:
and you say your battery is faulty? LOL

you already have 6 hours of screen time and 37% left, that is already good for the note 2

Anyway doing a factory reset will delete all data, its like having a clean install of 4.1.2

you dont need to re install, once you do an FR, the phone does that for you already, formats internal mem too

you lose all apps, messages, etc.

At the rate of your current batt stats, you might even reach 8 hours screen time which is already good. highest i reached was 7 hours screen time lol
[Galaxy Note II General] psycotrompus:
thanks!

its just a hassle to wipe to factory/data reset and download apps again, especially with out network speeds (poor us). i'll try cleaning up some caches and hopefully that stuttering disappears. but for now, i'm settling in forced gpu rendering.
[Galaxy Note II General] redlinux:
A Nandroid backup always saves the day. Plus u get to use TB which is hassle free. On a side note, all your apps should be restored and re-downloaded automatically when you sign in for the first time after flashing a new ROM whether custom or official. Nobody needs a hassle and nobody will ever have to do everything from scratch again... Although I love to just re-do everything. :)

Try recalibrating your battery stats. I personally didn't experience any significant battery stat change in mine, having both WiFi and NFC always on.

On an unrelated note, I wonder when we'll get 4.2 :)

[Galaxy Note II General] PaulitoX77:
Your battery life is fine bro. You can go check the "Post your battery stats" thread here and see that getting 8 hours screen time is already good, specially when on stock

On my first cycle after updating to 4.1.2 i got 7 hours screen time. Perhaps as the rom settles in the better the phone runs lol
[Galaxy Note II General] psycotrompus:
reliability

i agree with nandroid backup. i do have some doubts when it comes to TB. how reliable is it that when you restore your backed up apps using TB, will it still be recognized by google as official app downloaded from play store? as you said, nobody needs a hassle, that's why i love android, and this giant phone. :D

anyway, i'll try the TB first, backup my apps, and flash a clean stock ROM for PH. i already tested the stuttering scrolling in messaging app on two other note2, which are currently network locked from Globe and Smart. both have the same issue after the 4.1.2 updates have been pushed via OTA.
[Galaxy Note II General] redlinux:
From experience, I do TB and restore TB if I'm moving within the same firmware version (4.1.1 - 4.1.1). If moving to an entirely new version, I only restore TB apps without user data to avoid issues afterwards. These issues are the most common source of battery drains.

Nice. Are trade ins like that usually worth it?

Edit: i saw the mechanics. Up to 50 percent off max. Thank god it's low or else I would've felt bad for selling my s3. So maximum purchase price for your phone will be 16,495 since the srp is 32,990. I sold my s3 for 23k.

If they throw in free cases then that means a lot of people will be selling the cases in online sites. Good for us Chu!

LTE in smart vs Globe

hi, any experiences using LTE in smart or globe? specially those who have the n7105. I got the i713 from at&t hoping that it will work here in the philippines because as ive researched, smart's LTE band is 2100, 1800, and 850 on the other hand, globe has the 1800. my i713 from at&t has the 850 LTE band. I was wondering if any of you have seen any LTE signal? Ive tried every place in smarts LTE location map, but failed to have any signal. Ive tried rooting my note 2 and tried different compatible ROM, even tried my smartbro sim, and my smart gold unlimited internet sim but still no LTE signal.

Im wondering if this is because we need a special LTE sim card to get the signal or just because 850 is not yet supported by smart.

thanks for the help!
