check out pocketnow.com, they've made HTC One camera comparisons vs. iphone 5 and some other camera phones. Apparently the HTC One is a bit better for night photography but a bit worse during day or with normal lights. Xperia Z however failed to impress, some 8MP cameras from last year beat it with photo quality.

I have a Note 2 and I'm due to upgrade in 3 months, I am so tempted to get the HTC One over the S4... or maybe I could just wait for the Note 3 later this year :p

Try changing your default csc from sma to xtc first. Then flash the xtc firmware via odin. Did this with my note2 I got from globe (CSC was GLB).
[Galaxy Note II General] francis820:
Just remember to backup before changing your CSC, this thing wipes :eek:
[Galaxy Note II General] cambr1an:
Hello guys newbie here. Just wanted to share. I've been on CM 10.1 for weeks now and it has been surprisingly stable for a nightly build. Stock is mighty fine and the only reason I am on CM is that Globe has poor signal in my area and my Note seems to have more stable reception on JB 4.2. Just about the only issue I have with CM 10.1 is the missing SIM Toolkit (I don't use it anyway). I hope Samsung rolls out the official 4.2.2 update soon!
[Galaxy Note II General] DigitalAnalog:
Thanks! Is this a good tool for changing the CSC? http://www.jayceooi.com/2013/01/06/download-csc-changer-for-samsung-galaxy-devices/

Thanks! By backup, you mean the EFS backup, right?

And does anyone else think it's pointless to have oodles of external storage when most big-ass games will only install on the internal storage? :confused:

Hi peeps, New to this community (Well I just migrated from S2 to Note 2).

I'm on Omega V13 Rom, Perseus kernel problem is I only get 14000-16000 Antutu Benchmark,

Why do some people get 20-30k? Anyone of you got their Stweaks modded to reach 20-30k BS?

Also, What Micro SD do you use? and where can I buy one?

Hello fellow Pinoys. ;)

Just curious as to the battery life you're getting for the Note 2. I've attached mine. I'm not sure how I can improve on this. :confused: I can see others in the forum getting 10+ hours screen on time! I'd be happy with just 7. I'm already doing measures to save power. My phone automatically regularly turns off mobile data when display is off after a certain time period. I have brightness below 50% at all times (auto brightness off). I disabled many of the useless syncs (only enabled GMail, Calendar, and a few others). What else can I do??? :banghead:
[Galaxy Note II General] ralfgm04:
Hi Chev, ayos naman pala, I'll try it. Although Salpak lang ba ginawa mo?

I mean no modification at all? Just plug n play?

@nadmaj, Hi pinoy ka pala, lol. It's just that I'm having some stutter/lags when opening some apps like what I said on omega thread,

really annoying badly. :(

There s an option for 240 dpi mode (cant live with 320 dpi as everything is too big for me on this big note 2) i got 6 hrs plus of screen time at maybe 45 percent brightness, hsdpa is always on, clocked at stock speed (havent tried underclock and undervoltage yet)..

It's the store where you could also play PS3.

These stores are at the basement same with Samsung, Apple, CD-R King stores.

Not sure if they still have it though.

EDIT:

There's also one near the BDO ATM machine and supermarket. Beside the escalator.

Same floor.

There are different versions of it. Price ranging from 800+ to 2,000+ pesos.

Just moved to a Note II from an Xperia SL (will update signature,...).

I got this on 4.1.1. I can tell that it was a Globe unit (because it had a Globe wallpaper, and some Globe bloatware), factory reset after we bought for 20k.

We updated to 4.1.2 at the official Samsung store at Harbor Point, free naman daw, so kinagat namin. :)

And I do not like what is happening to the battery so far. Dives too quickly, 32 to 16% in under 40 minutes, screen on, wifi on, downloading at Google Play store, and Android system sucks battery like a champ. :( or should I wait it out for a few days or so?

P.S.: I'm using a Sony EP800 charger for my Note II (we sourced our Note II as a second-hand unit, and there was no original charger in sight. :( ) Can I use this fine (I mean, the out is 800 mA). No ill effects here, right? :confused:

Hi there is an app called galaxy charging currentor gcc parang ganun. I use it to see how much voltage the cable can give to the phone while charging. I had found some of my old cables(bb,htc) is only giving me 400-500. Which the original cable of note 2 is giving 1800 out to the phone. Im not sure if this affects how it charges your phone but worth a try if it will charge your battery properly

Wifi does burn a bit of battery. However I'm playing ragnarok valkyrie uprising which is hdspa plus screen plus game itself. 100% battery i can play the game for 4 hours straight. With battery saver on, i can reach 6 hours. I haven't even removed all the bloatwares yet.

Congrats on your first post on XDA!

If it's rooted, it can't be brand new.

I've never heard of Samsung, or any manufacturer for that matter, that ships devices that are pre-rooted.

Your trusted seller may or may not have known it was not brand new. Either way, I'd take it back and request for a replacement "new" unit.

FYI: I don't have a Note 2 yet, but am almost sure I'll get it as my retention plan unit from Smart (My contract ended last September 2012). Unless Samsung or HTC suddenly decide to make the Nexus 4. But yeah, Note 2 looks like the device I'm headed to. Most users will know what that means.

Hello, fellow Pinoys! New to the forums here.

Bought my Note II a week ago. Enjoying it so far! My previous Android phone was an Xperia arc, and while I would say that was a good phone, I can say this is an AWESOME phone! Breezes through everything! (Well, except Instagram, which crashes whenever I try taking another picture after my first one...). I have the Titanium Gray version, which I think is better than the white one (too common already). I didn't like it in the pictures, but holding one in person, wow. Instantly fell in love!

I was wondering if the flip cover is already available here and, if so, where can I get it? Thanks!

i checked it meticulously after opening the box. there is no single scratch, no fingerprints and no dust at speaker grill. even the plastic cover at the front is very intact. there is no single bubble. the accessories where clean just like bnew. maybe they have tricks to do that. i think i will just keep this unit. the amoled screen is just perfect. no tints, no black crush. i am afraid that the exchange unit will have this. i'm sure you know that amoled screen is not as perfect as lcd. just like my old s3. i exchanged it 3 times because of that pink tint and yellow tint on the bottom part of the screen. i will never ever buy again on grey market. hehe

Hello Sir,

I normally buy my stuffs in Viramall Greenhills, i got a 32GB Transcend micro SD class 10 there for Php1,200. That has 1year warranty already.

If you're from the Metro maybe you can pass by there. Lot's of choices and they come cheap - you can haggle if you got the skills.

I think Sandisk offers 1year warranty too. Since yours broke down in only 3months, dont you want it replaced/checked?

Hi guys , so last night I updated all my apps installed in the play store ( around 10 to 20 plus ). Even the game , heroes of order and chaos ( 800mb) .

So when I checked my phone today , I noticed 2 things.

Opening the gallery , there's no trash icon, so I cant delete the photos. I noticed my google plus pics ( avatars ) have a corrupted icon.

When I open the photos , it's so slow to the point it just freezes. All other applications work fine.

Tried using airdroid and the photos are still there.

How can I fix this ?
[Galaxy Note II General] NadMaj:
unsync what you have synced with your gallery then go to settings/app manager/all/gallery - clear data + cache.. then sync your stuff again..
[Galaxy Note II General] note2graphics:
I didn't sync anything from the gallery except maybe for the google plus profile pics .

So I tried this method, it didn't work. Someone suggested to do this method, turn phone off, and remove the battery. I can now see the trash can icon in the pics but still the photos can't be viewed properly or it freezes. I read from another forum to delete the media manager and guess what all pics and files are deleted , ringtones as well lol. I'm back to square 1 but good thing there's not a lot of pics in the gallery. I don't know if I can still recover the images but it's okay with me.

>> If I can't recover the pics / mp3s. I want to update the firmware again so I can get OTA's. My build number is N7100XXDLL7 and running on android version 4.1.2

I have updated this before manually to 4.1.2 and I want to update to the latest ph "globe" or the standard ph firmware. And also the radio? Because in some programs like messaging, the messages hang sometimes.

Hi there Note 2 guys. Anyone know where can I buy the Samsung Protective Cover? I called the Samsung Store in SM North and they said they only have two cases 'produced' by Samsung: the flip cover for P965 (can't recall the exact price) and the jelly one for P300++. I asked the agent several times if the jelly case is really an official Samsung case and she says yes.

I was thinking if that's the Protective Cover since the description on Samsung's website says it is PC + TPU case.
