Hey guys, quick question, has anyone here ordered the UAG case for their Note2 and had it shipped to the Philippines?
[Galaxy Note II General] [dcw]aaron:
who of you guys here has the 0xf7 chip already on their n7100s? thanks!
[Galaxy Note II General] edgarign:
Yes, Note 2 is far more better than T81. Unfortunately, no firmware for Philippines has been released yet for N7105 and no other firmware seems to work for Philippine LTE. Globe uses 1800MHz. Both T81 and Note 2 supports this band. Cat 3 LTE means, these devices can go up to 100Mbps. If you subscribe to Globe's unlisurf plan, you can enjoy LTE service (on areas where there is coverage) for a fixed cost per month. The upgrade for an LTE sim is free as well. You just have to go to a Globe business store. I stay most of the day in Makati (where there is LTE coverage) and have just upgraded my SIM for LTE. Unfortunately, neither I9305 nor N7105 work.

---------- Post added at 06:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 AM ----------

The LTE sim I'm using is from Globe. They're running LTE 1800Mhz so N7105 should work. Unfortunately, mobile data seems to be disabled by default by the firmware of N7105. I say this because I've tried it with I9210 (S2 LTE) which runs on Gingerbread and works fine.

Both Globe and Smart have 1800MHz. Afaik, Smart is currently deploying LTE2100MHz which N7105 doesn't support. I haven't tried it with a Smart LTE sim, though.

Help guys.. I tried to manually check for an update but to my surprise, I received a message saying my "device has been modified and cannot recieve any updates"... though I've been itching on flashing to custom rom but since this is my very first phone that came a full year warranty from samsung I have been keen not to flash anything but official updates which I have been doing OTA.. I never noticed this till now and the last update I've recieved was the one about 69mb.. need help on this one please.. screenies for you referrence below.. I'm worried about the sds issue.. suggestions to rectify the issue will be greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy Note II General] psycotrompus:
download mode and status

Try going into download mode and check the flash counter and the other two status (forgot what are those). the flash counter should count 0 and the other two status below the flash counter should say something like OFFICIAL, not the CUSTOM one.

then check the Device status under Settings > About Device > Status, its in the last part. it should say something like 'Normal'.
[Galaxy Note II General] kenethic:
Ok I will check this out., I did check the device status screenshot below., one thing that ticks me off is I tried hard to resist rooting and flashing to custom on this device then I get this status after the last official update I recieved from samsung.. btw does having a new 64gb card also affect this status? I've read somewhere that an app might also affect this?

Update:

I restarted my phone and the message is gone and I'm able to check for an update again.. what the?..

1,000+ pesos for a new S-Pen on Samsung stores.

If anyone likes to buy an extra battery, go to CD-R King. They have a 3100 mAh battery for only 420 pesos.

Almost identical battery life from the original. Good deal :)

Hi guys! I have a question... I was overly ecstatic when I started fiddling with my note 2 and my friend wanted in on the android thing. However.. he bought a myphone and was asking if I could fix it up for him. Since my note 2 is my very first incursion into the android universe (formerly ios) does anyone know how to fix it up? Root, custom Rom, kernel changes, the works. Is the process the same? Thanks for the help guys. Posted his specs just in case lol
[Galaxy Note II General] tipsy13:
I dont know if there's any support here for myphone devices.. Use the search function to see if there are custom roms and kernels for such.. Or try google for a broader search.. Myphones are purely Philippine based and there are only a few filipino developers here, i guess there's only a slim chance that they're supported..

Really? Too bad, man.

I've been using it for days now and still identical with the original Samsung Note 2 battery.

Surprisingly their mobile power bank 4,000 mAh is good as well. Not really 4,000 mAh but for a price of 480 pesos and can charge my Note to from 3% to 92% is awesome in my book :)

---------- Post added at 06:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 AM ----------

No heating issues on my phone but may depend on yours.

In my original Samsung battery, the usual consumption is 10% per 1 hour screen-on time.

With the CD-R King battery, usually around 7 to 8% per 1 hour screen-on.

Not bad for a less than 500 pesos battery.
[Galaxy Note II General] PierreTech:
How come data cannot be enabled in an lte sim(globe) for my n7105. Is it globe that has a problem?
[Galaxy Note II General] triadwarfare:
Advisory lang.

Kung bibili kayo ng Samsung Galaxy Note 2, ensure niyo na may warranty. Wag kayo bibili ng Note 2 na galing ibang bansa or walang NTC sticker. A seller who is claiming that they have 'service warranty only' will not entertain you if your mobile phone has a hardware fault.

I like Samsung but please remember that they are not a perfect company. Samsung has a huge history of faulty releases where the fault is only found out after several months of the device's release. My sister had a superbrick with her Note 1 and had to go to the Samsung service center several times as this was followed up by a battery charging problem (which is caused by a loose power connector). I've also heard news about the Samsung Galaxy S3 not powering up after an update. (hardbrick due to firmware)

The note 2 may have problems unknown to us until Samsung releases an untested patch. If you get bricked and has no warranty, then good luck to you. Samsung won't replace the phone even if it's their fault because either you purchased a foreign note 2 at a discount or you did something to void its warranty.

Kindly keep your phone and warranty intact. Don't buy Samsung phones without warranty, no matter how cheap or attractive the foreign note 2s are.

I just wished Samsung officially released the SG Note 2 LTE version here. I hate them for releasing the 3G only version here with about less than 10GB of internal memory where you can't even transfer apps to the microSD card.

Check mo kung properly configured APN settings ng note mo. Check it by going to settings>more settings>Mobile networks>Access Point Names

You can download settings depending on your network. 4g should be the same settings with 3G

Please note kung galing sa Vodafone australia ung SGNote 2 LTE mo, then LTE is intentionally disabled until Vodafone releases a patch as they don't have LTE yet.
[Galaxy Note II General] PierreTech:
You don't get the problem. Not the note is international version lte. N7105 unlocked. The mobile data can't be enable. As in cannot open. I know the apn thing. That is the problem if you open the mobile data then not having lte signal. In my case I can't really open mobile data if I'm using a lte(globe) sim
[Galaxy Note II General] edgarign:
LTE and N7105

There is compatibility issue with the LTE SIM and Note2's firmware. Been cracking my head on this, tried two devices (i9305 and n7105) with Globe LTE and both don't work. Tried the LTE SIM on an S2 LTE (i920) and it works. Tried it with Lumia 920, works too.

Can't point my finger which is causing the issue. It seems though Samsung LTE devices running on JB are affected. Tried different firmware too, all unsuccessful.

Now, I'm using a Note 1 (N7005). It plays nicely with Globe LTE. At least I'm getting 7Mbps in Makati.

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

Do you have an LTE sim? If yes, do you also get the "Insert Sim Card" message when you access "mobile network" settings?

[Galaxy Note II General] francis820:
Can you run Triangle Away while still on Rootbox? If so, you may wanna reset your counter first before flashing back to stock ROM. That way, you won't have to worry about looking for a rooted stock... rooted stock meaning stock recovery and stock but rooted ROM.

By the way, when you say modified stock ROM is it just rooted or rooted and with modified recovery?
[Galaxy Note II General] examiner:
Yes i can run triangle away in rootbox.it shows my counter 1.binaries custom and phone n7100...if i can reset it to 0 then im good to go?i can flash stock rom from sammobile?rooted with modified recovery..im currently on philz recovery..running rootbox

Edit: on chainfire thread it says it can only reset modified status if im on stock firmware.and it says it can brick my device..

Your csc can be anything. But open like local units have XTC as csc. Globe locked units have GLB and smart SMA. Makes no difference what the CSC is actually except if you wanna get OTA updates.

When you say modified stock rom that means optimizations have been made to the official Samsung rom. These roms are almost always rooted. Usually they contain modified recovery as well but not always.

Try to remove your sim card when flashing the unbranded ph fw and let it do the first boot then you can insert your sim after. i noticed even if you flashed the unbranded fw it auto detects what sim you are using during 1st boot then it will load those crappy bloatwares (if you are using smart it will load up those smart wallpapers, ringtones etc.)
