Hello Kabayan. Nice to see a thread for pinoys.

I'm a switcher. Been using iPhone since 2G to 4S. Cant wait for the iPhone 5 hence im into Note 2 now and never looked back eversince. Loving Android and loving note 2.

I have not rooted my Note 2. Im still familiarizing myself with how stuff works.

Anyways, I just upgraded it to 4.1.2 using a firmware from Poland. However, my CSC is philippines hence my problems with Kies.

Anyone tried changing their CSC? How is it done? Planning to revert back to 4.1.1 if I can't resolve this issue.

[Galaxy Note II General] Simone:
Hi Kabayan, I'm not yet fond of Customer Sales Code yet but if you have rooted already, try Omega ROM and download indie's application for the Note 2. You can find an option ready for CSC :)

EDIT:

Kies is useless. Believe me. Lol.
[Galaxy Note II General] EarlZ:
Europe but it can be used with globe units, it wont add any counter is it is a samsung official firmware.
[Galaxy Note II General] redlinux:
Release your Note 2 from suffering. Root and feel the freedom that has always been destined for your super phone. Don't worry about the binary counter too much. Once you root, anything is possible.. Almost :)

Hi

Like what?

I mean i cant see real advantage of rooting note 2 for now..

The rom seems perfect except for the app to sd..

The rom is fast because of ram and processor..

I am familiar with rooting. I rooted my htc sensation before for flashing 'better', faster, more fluid roms. But modded roms always have that bug somewhere which will force you to reupdate/reflash for fixes, kind of annoying and time consuming.. They have range of reasons. From incompatible kernels to buggy rom. I also rooted to have access on game hacks, which kind of gets boring in the long run.. i always end up with modded stock rom, ARHD. Newer modded roms always have that bug of some features not working..

If i have to root this, my main readon would ptobably just because of the app to sd

I dont mind binary counter but please enlighten me what my note 2 is suffering for now.

Triangle away can reflash this to zero, anyhow..

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II General] iampoch:
Rooting doesn't equate to putting in a new ROM. since Note 1, I haven't used any custom ROM because of the S-Pen framework. Also, TouchWiz is stunning in Note 2 (but I use Nova Launcher, I never use stock launchers). But I've always rooted my ROM since Day 1. There are so much you can do rooted in stock ROM. The biggest advantage is Titanium Backup. It's the single, most important reason to root, IMHO. It's a whole lot more important than backing up and restoring ROMs.

Rooting also lets you tweak a lot of things in Note 2. Case in point: I am able to add all my apps to the MultiWindow view. I won't be able to do that if I didn't root.
[Galaxy Note II General] papao217:
Ahh you didnt understand me. I didnt equate it to flashing new roms

I equated it to my decision because i want more fluid rom than the built in..

It all boils down to preference

But i dont think my phone is suffering now because it's unrooted and i dont think im also suffering because it's unrooted..

And i find titanium backup for die hard tweakers.. i gave up on it eventually.. again, i dont see any practical use for me.. i havent use it for the longest time on my sensation. I mean i can live by with just regular restore. Sometimes it even messes up the system due to incompatible roms..

Maybe im just getting older.. i just want a simpler life.. lol.. and note 2 just gives it straight out of the box.. i cant stand by my sensation's lagginess (is there such a word? Hehe) anymore..
[Galaxy Note II General] redlinux:
Don't get me wrong. You couldn't have described it any better. It all boils down to preference and I agree with you completely.

Rooting, in it's simplest term, means total absolute control over your phone. I guess that, to me, is my preference. When I want to get rid of some bloatware; when I want to theme something in the ROM; when I want to add a feature that's never gonna come if I wait for Samsung, when I want to simply overhaul everything and start something new; when I want to revert back to any point in time where I have backup; when I get tired of the TouchWiz look and all...I simply root and get done with it.

To root is to have a purpose. There's a reason why I switched to Android from iOS. Then again, like what you've said, it all boils down to preference. :)

[Galaxy Note II General] jermitano:
just remember mate this is a sammy phone and not a sensation...tweaks, mods and props are very much different...i had a chance with a sensation too, found the roms for it short and a little much buggy...anyways bottomline still falls to preference

Bump again?
[Galaxy Note II General] Papapau:
"Perfect" is subjective. If Stock everything is already your definition of it, good for you.

Let me just shareb what perfect for my super mobile computer currently is for me..

1. Android Revolution HD 6.0 - Deploated, tweaks, not buggy.

2. Perseus Kernel - More optimized, faster, at least for me.

3. GMD Gesture Control - Tablet like cool usage.

4. 240 dpi (bala_gamer optimized) - not a bloated S3 UI look.

5. "ALL APPS" Multi-Window - what multi window should be.

6. Paragon NTFS Support - for my 500gb external HDD

7. App to sd

8. Disable hw keys and qemu.hw.mainkeys set to 0, onscreen.

- full S-pen navigation of back, home, menu, buttons. .

9. Others..

All requiring root.. again, "Perfect" is subjective.. And stock note2 is way far from perfect imo..
[Galaxy Note II General] papao217:
Yeah perfect for my everyday use i guess

Or for a casual user like me

But not suffering as someone inferred..

Again i rooted before to make my phone faster. And to hack games.. ;)

If custom roms and or kernels are not buggy, why do they release different versions? Almost every week there are updates, tweaks, neverending release.. look at their respected threads, therevare alwsys questions about incompatibility, about featured not working..

It is always buggy

Every rom is.. every kernel is.. imo.. thats why official firmwares takes long to get released. They dont wanna get bugged by halfbaked modded roms... or for untested roms..

Again i find this stock rom usable for my current needs.. until then im still satisfied.. :D
[Galaxy Note II General] Papapau:
Not always because it's buggy. Its because they're making it updated and much better, ARHD 6.0, No bugs. Yes, read the thread..

Oh and it's currently Jellybean 4.1.2 for quite a long time now, wouldn't take long to get latest 4.2.. mind us, some stock ROM builds are still 4.1.1, notif bar is still not modifiable, etc..

I think our statements are not contradicting, I'm just stating that rooting is never a downgrade, just a little reading and you'll have the power you can control with no issues.. Like they said, ignorance is a bliss..well, not necessarily bad. ^^
[Galaxy Note II General] redlinux:
Dude, get over it. I can always use a gazillion verbs aside from "suffering". I guess it's the very word that came to mind; nothing really fancy about it.

As you've said, it's your peference. Nothing is wrong with it. People here are almost, if not all, discussing about rooting on a daily basis. You will rarely find a "casual" user in this forum. I personally join xda because I wanna root. I ddin't just join the forum to share my thoughts (LOL).

Now let's all chill and help one another. :)

I have many still to learn and contribute if that's what your saying.

If I was a typical Filipino I would just have agreed with you. Say a little arguement and finally agreeing.

You said so many or maybe so little things about yourself that may give a bad first impression. I'm talking general.

And to answer your question yes, I am satisfied with my social life without trying.

It's not that. It's just that we don't know the answer to your problems. Personally, i haven't encountered the problems you did in my unit, so it could be that you got a lemon. Again, I can't be sure. Does your unit have a local warranty?

If you need more technical answers, your best bet is to create a thread in the Q&A portion. I did that a couple of times, and it's a lifesaver :) I couldn't be of much help, and that's the best advise I can give at the moment.

I would be glad to help, I have just seen your problem on the 3rd last page.

Is that still your problem? :)
[Galaxy Note II General] jon1011:
I got mine from kimstore, which has a 1 year store warranty.

Here it is:

1) At work, my wifi CONNECTION is unstable. After turning the wifi on, it gets connected > disconnected > connected > disconnected over and over again (wifi doesn't turn off). I don't think that it is a problem with our wifi, since I am using my laptop and it doesn't get disconnected.

2) Quick Glance motion doesn't seem to work properly. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

3) S Pen Keeper -- as I saw it on the phone review from YouTube, it's supposed to give an alert when you walk a few steps away when the S-Pen is detached. I tried it but it doesn't work as well.

4) LED indicator malfunction -- I just noticed this yesterday, when I get notifications or sms, there are times that the LED doesn't light up.

I even tried the 'Low battery' option, my battery level was at 8%. Locked the phone, but the LED didn't light up.

After which, I charged my phone, it's supposed to give a red light while charging (not full) then a green light when full, but still no light came out.

I rebooted my phone, then the LED indicator was back.

5) Camera -- is there really no night mode for this phone? The 'Low light' shooting mode doesn't have any effect. -_-

Thanks in advance to anyone who will try to help. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Simone:
Give us specific details about your phone.

Are you rooted?

What ROM are you running?

[Galaxy Note II General] fatbuccha:
Did you try flashing another rom version? Are you in philippines version of the rom? Give us details of your rom, so that we can help you :)

For your wifi prob, does this prob exist on all wifi router? Or just in your office?
[Galaxy Note II General] jon1011:
All stock, not rooted.

Nope, all stock.

Baseband: XXALJ2

ROM: 4.1.1

Kernel: 3.0.31

For the wifi problem, I haven't noticed it on other routers. But I am sure that in our office, it's only with this phone.

From my old Galaxy W, once it is connected, it doesn't get disconnected unless you lock the phone.

In addition, since I checked the 'About device' section.

I noticed that below the Build number, it says 'United Arab Emirates'.

Does it mean that my phone was manufactured from UAE?

I think some people here got their Note 2 from Kimstore as well, can you please check? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II General] Simone:
To make it short, the best thing you do;

Root it.

Flash a custom ROM.

Flssh a custom kernel.

I guarantee your success. lol.

I've been rooting since 2011 and never looked back.

Ic, I think the unit you bought was a gray market unit, take notw of your firmware version by typing *#1234# on your dialer

Try flashing a Philippines version of the rom and see if problem persist, are you familiar with flashing a rom using odin? You can get the official firmware for Philippines @ sammobile.com you need to register to download :)

My wife's note2 is also from UAE, I just flashed the official Philippines version from that site, make sure to change your CSC after flashing, note that will factory reset your device so do a back up before changing csc

I am not aware how to change this.

I had an experience flashing a Stock ICS ROM via Odin for Galaxy R.

For my Galaxy W, I was flashing custom ROMs via CWM Recovery.

Do you suggest using Titanium Backup? I tried that app before for my W but didn't worked.

I ended up not having my SMS and call logs back. :(

The only way to root N7100 is to flash an unsecured kernel which will make your system modified. You will not be able to do OTA updates. I'm not sure though if the Exynos Exploit will keep your stock system intact when rooting. To really brick your phone, you need to carelessly flash an incompatible radio.

Either way, just chill. :)

Now that it's confirmed that Globe's Note II are unlocked, I would appreciate to know from other fellow Pinoys about Smart's Note II if this also is the case.

This is so because I'm planning on getting a Note II from Smart (on All-In plans). I'll give the unit to my brother who is currently on Sun Cellular, since I already have a Note II LTE which I bought from SG, and I've been planning on shifting to Smart from my current Sun Cellular Elite postpaid.

I couldn't find any info about this... This is the remaining consideration I still have before fully embracing Smart... I hope anyone among you guys can confirm this...

I am not so sure with our device, but, just a word of caution, I guess before rooting your device, try to unlock it from your operator (SIM/Network Unlock) first. You can do that by flashing some other firmware. Then, you can go ahead and root your phone. Again, I am not sure if this applies to this beast of a smartphone! ^.~

loving the sgn2

hi guys! i have my note2 and flashed the following:

- Stock Samsung (TouchWiz) 4.1.2 firmware XXDLL4 from France (yeah, I know) with XTE Philippines (unbranded) CSC, rooted, odexed (a bit faster; preloaded apps)

- N.E.A.K. 1.3.x Kernel (to control my cpu/gpu and save some power) with exynos-mem fix without camera problem.

it hasn't been this beautiful since i bought it stocked from kimstore. not that i hate touchwiz, i still have it for my S Pen functionalities. no overheating problems here, not even some camera problems. i'm playing spiderman and SG Deadzone! OMG!!!

has anybody thoroughly tested the S Pen? i have some problems when using it on the lower and upper right corners of the screen. it doesn't register the tip of the pen, and sometimes its erratic.

i noticed that a magnetic sensor is at the top right of the back side of the phone when the back of the phone is facing you. i tested it using another magnet and measure the sensitivity. maybe, just maybe the s pen is not much detected on the front right corners of the screen due to the position of the magnetic sensors. any ideas? i tried fixing the s pen itself by lightly smashing it on the floor and on the table, or even tapping it by the tip (haven't tried popping up the button and adjusting from the inside), but not much help.

has anyone have the same problem?

Tried it. Right side kind of harder to register than the other side of the phone. But air view it registers fast. Maybe you are using a magnetic case or something? And dont smash your s-pen. It wont do any good.
