[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Wipe data/Factory reset in recovery will remove everything. No deleting the 16GB partition is NOT necessary.
[Galaxy Note II General] hapticc:
remove everything means the 16gb too will be deleted or not can u plz confirm
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Factory reset (from recovery /setting whatever) will remove data from your internal memory card too.

Though it is not necessary but still factory reset will erase it. You will not have choice to spare it like older device.

You can use some script to preserve it. But again that require root +cwm

Now I want to back up everything just as stock no root so I can restore whenever I want or when an update comes without any hassle..

So what would be the steps??

Flash cwm through odin

Backup

Flash custom rom

And when to restore:

Restore cwm backup

Flash stock recovery

And done???
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
I don't prefer Nandroid backup as routine task, it's OK if you keep one for emergency recovery.

b'coz lot's of thing may gets changed when you need to restore like application data of games, newer application, newer version..etc

so when you restore current backup, you will miss all those stuff which has been changed while.

I prefer titanium backup

root device and keep using titanium with scheduled backup

whenever there is update, jusr unroot and wipe everything

get OTA, root and restore with titanium.

Congrats and make sure you take 3-4 days for it to settle down before making any final judgements. I had lot of finger prints/marks on the back cover which made me think of peel it off.

Summarizing before reverting back to 4.1.1

Guys,

Been through the complete post and appreciate the efforts by all the contributors to the post... cheers ..

.... battery life still sucks after MA6 ( tried factory reset too ).. i would love to go back to 4.1.1 . below is the process i understand ..

1) restore 4.1.1 using odin by selecting the .tar.md5 ( file name N7100XXALJ1_N7100ODDALJ1_INU) under PDA ( this will solve the battery issue, but vulnerability to exoyns exploit and SDS wil be exposed. ( no need to be under recovery mode during this process)

2) to resolve exoyns and SDS need to flash the " Recovery/Kernel/Bootloader/Modem" which is found in Dr Ketans Post ( can some one help with the order in which the file needs to be flashed and under which option in ODIN".

then probably factory reset ...... things should be fine.

Sorry for invading the post... just wanted a clarity on my doubts.... Thank you
[Galaxy Note II General] codeknight11:
Thanks. BTw, is it really worth buying? I mean, does it really protect the device against scratches? or It wears off after some time? Doesnt it make the device slippery>?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
1. you eed to do with download mode.

2.No need to flash bootloader, once you have updated to latest it already there, recovery and kernel have to flash with PDA (each separately)

modem have to flash with phone tab in odin[
[Galaxy Note II General] torque321:
Thank you Doc!!!!! should i use the recovery, modem and Kernal for the MA6 posted by you in the forum ......
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
yes you can use it
[Galaxy Note II General] torque321:
Doc...... should i keep Autoreboot and F.Reset.Time option checked under ODIN while flashing all the files i.e. ROM,recovery,kernal,modem..

thnx in advance
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
yeah all should be same as you used to flash ROM. as i said earlier for Modem select Phone tab in place of PDA, rest everything same.

Random reboot after a long idle time

Hi guys

I've been trying all Samsung ROMs since I bought my Note II in early Jan.

It works fine during the day and having a good battery life.

But when I use the phone first time in the morning after about 6 hrs of idle time, it reboots randomly... atleast 2 to 3 times. After that it is fine.

Also couple of days it completely drained the battery overnight - from 80% in the night to 10% in the morning with no active use.

But beyond that, there's absolutely no problem....

Is it a hardware issue or a software issue??? Pls help me with your views

Thanks

Bala
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Hardware issue is very rare, so go with software issue first. Take a backup and wipe the device fully. And install Better Battery Stats to monitor which apps are culprit. Overnight drain of 70% is nothing but abnormal.

@ All newbies using titanium backup

I have read to many cases, user losing backup made by titanium after factory reset

This is b'coz by default titanium backup make makeup folder on internal SD card, and factory reset wiping this folder too, so at end of factory reset you won't have any data to restore

to prevent this, always use storage to Ext SD card instead of int SD card

How to ?

-create new folder on ext Sd card and name it like titaniumbackup

-open titanium - menu - preference -backup folder location

Now this will show all backup files, press back menu and navigate to new folder you have created

and use 'use current folder'

It will ask to move all data - move it.

Now back to preference menu and check mark 'Auto-sync TB setting'

this will remember your choice after installing TB next time

Now you are safe and can wipe cache and data without losing your backup.
[Galaxy Note II General] deohrishikesh7:

[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
If you have binded it, then need not to download, just create empty directory

Data which you have not binded, you have to redownload

OR

simply copy directory to PC/Ext SD card and after wiping copy back to int Sd card (if data is big then only do it, otherwise it will auto create it)

with 4.1.2 kernal, modem and recovery over 4.1.1 solves the SDS problem...( correct me if wrong )
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
yes you can, but what i believe is after flashing new kernel battery life will remain same as 4.1.1 is a big doubt.

Usually battery management have direct effect of kernel.

Though i never have that much big issue with 4.1.2 battery, i have to compromise for just battery. at least after MA6, it seems very much near to 4.1.1

but still yes, if you satisfied with 4.1.1 with new recovery+kernel, its far better than just on 4.1.1

[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
No, if you already have performed it, then nothing requires, but missing appl +data is good option and prevents system application to pushing back.(as by default it excludes sys app)

sometimes previous ROM have system app that have been removed/renamed from new ROM in such cases it can cause issue.

Edit :

nothing, now carryon with missing app +data scenario, it may have find some issue with previous system appl, thats why it has got failed.

I installed it yesterday... it surely protects against scratches.. actually after applying you don't feel any difference when you hold it. the protective film is very slim. i am not sure of wear off since it's just be two days but it seems to well bonded with my phone.. basically it's like a screen guard applied all over your phone.. just slightly thicker. It wouldn't protect your phone against any drops.

No bubbles. I had one or two but they have disappeared slowly. It's hard to see the film in the pictures but I'll post some few anyway. I didn't switch it off all the time.
