Hi guys..finally got around to install cm10.1 on my not so old note 2.although I'm having kind of a weird problem..whenever I restart my note 2 the screen seems to be stuck on the flash screen which comes up before the boot animation for a while..but then boots up just fine.what i mean to say is that it kinda takes a while to boot up cause its stuck on the splash screen.any help would be much appreciated =)

Sold my 5 months old Note2

Guys, I sold my note2 and bought the new Xperia ZL. My main reason being the below average build quality of note2 (despite using with utmost care & a silicone case, the paint on bezel started stripping off, squeaky top bezel, not to mention the dirt collecting in the gap b/w the screen & bezel). Also, i was a bit concerned about getting SDS to my N2 (as i had the buggy emmc).

The build quality of Sony XZ or ZL is definitely better than Note2 or GS3. I've compared the screens and loved the XZL screen for its sharp display. Yes, the viewing angles are not as good as our SAMOLEDs but they aren't as bad either (esp. while viewing videos or pics with BE on). I found the sunlight legibilty better than note2. Its a personal preference when it comes screens (and i like things about both lcds and amoleds). The camera on XZL captures better pics than Note2. The ZL sound is not as loud as on Note2 but is good quality. I think i've traded bigger screen & battery for better build quality and portability. All said above is just my honest opinion :).
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
Good luck with your phone :) Hope they would start pushing out updates at least at half the rate with which Samsung does. They are known to be really lazy in doing that.

《Samsung Galaxy Note II ★ GT-N7100》
[Galaxy Note II General] Dpk1:
Thanx! Yes, i know Sony are lazy at updates ;). Had xperia S for 8 months before i gave it to my brother. I don't mind slow updates though, if they serve the purpose well. Anyhow, i've already had one update for ZL today.

EDIT: Galaxy Note III is rumoured for an introduction at IFA 2013 in Berlin. The device is rumoured to have a 5.9” Full HD AMOLED display. Samsung isn’t ready to use full PHOLED displays yet. The resolution of the device will bee 1080 x 1920 which is full HD. The Galaxy Note III is expected to have a octa-core processor and will be available from end Q3

Would 5'9 inches of screen fit my shirt pockets? That seems like an essential question for me atleast.

Sent from my GT-N7100 or the Nexus 10, heaven knows.

Those who help noobs go to heaven. True story.
[Galaxy Note II General] kachrukamble:
I think Samsung would make slight tall device than Note-2 to adjust 5.9" screen.

they have done with galaxy S4, not increased size compare to S3 but reduced bezel.
[Galaxy Note II General] SacGuru:
Yeah...even note 2 was thinner width wise as compared to the first note. I will probably wait till the note 3 is launched to see which new device to buy. Though I will have to sell this device to be able to afford a new one. Launch of Note 3 will mean price of a second hand note 2 will decrease unfortunately for me and many like me who are on this thread.

And Note 2 Can easily serve well at least one year as top device considering its powerful hardware.

Note 2 is much more ergonomic to use than the original Note. 99%, Note 3 will have a thinner bezel to accommodate the bigger screen and the phone dimensions may not differ much, at least that's my hope :p Note gave us a new way of life, which even made the S4 launch not so enthusiastic !!! Raring to get hands on Note 3 :D
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
Exactly. This whole thing is very addictive. sPen kinda triples the value of the device. New way of life :D

Very true. I find S pen the most used feature on my Note. I use it mainly for remote desktop. 2X client and S pen is a great combo for RDP.

Nah. It's nothing serious. Don't leave play store in the homescreen and I don't think this vulnerability can be exploited. I tried it myself today. Also turn off screen animation if you are really concerned.

[Galaxy Note II General] Jackmax32:
Guys.

I have 40 k to spend on my next smartphone. I will be buying it next month.

I was going to buy the S3 but was disappointed by its build quality( ok but not premium. like my Xperia S)

I checked out the Note2 too and I really like it.

But the shopkeeper also showed me the experia Z n Zl. They have better processors than Note2 but I already have a Xperia S now so I don't want to buy another Xperia phone.

I am bored of Sony ui. Z n Zl got the same Xperia ui + no smart feature like the Galaxy series.

So now I am really confused.

My friend told met wait and buy the htc One or the S4 since I am spending 35k+.

To be honest, I am really bored of general android smartphone. experience and want to try something new like the Note series.

What do you guys suggest - buy the Note 2 or another smartphone with better performance than Note 2 like the Htc One, Xperia Z,Zl. , S4?
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
If you want something very different, try note ii. S Pen would make the experience really pleasant. If you want something that's built well, wait for HTC One. If you want a phone with nifty features, get S4. But most of these tweaks can be expected soon as an update on note ii. I won't recommend Xperia.

《Samsung Galaxy Note II ★ GT-N7100》
[Galaxy Note II General] Jackmax32:
Note seems to be the only smartphone giving users a unique experience and. I think I will go for Note 2 then.

Do you think Note 2 processor, gpu will be outdated by 2013?

Is it worth going for a Note 2( unique experience ) over better performance of newer processors ?
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
That really depends on what you want. If you are a gamer, go for better processors. But note ii has a decent hardware and I do not think it's gonna go obsolete any time soon. In 6 month's time note iii will be unveiled. Better phones would keep coming up. If you wanna buy one, just go for it.

《Samsung Galaxy Note II ★ GT-N7100》

And battery backup decreased so much...

Even I have s3 it has normal 2 days. Backup. ..

In note its only like less then half day, with data interent on, wifi off, by normal use...

I always clear ram.. and uses less ram too.

I like to be stocky.. my phone is unrooted..

I've not tried slim on the note 2 but was the standard rom I had on my.galaxy s.. and it was a piece of art.. super light, fast and beautiful.. I'm currently not switched to it on the note 2 coz there aren't too many custom kernels supporting it.. only NEAK.. I'm quite used to the calibrated screen of perseus so sticking with Dualnote.. it's quite a good combination

Flash recovery rom... search for it in ketans thread

scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)
[Galaxy Note II General] kachrukamble:
Actually if it freezes at startup for say 25-30 Minutes then back to Normal position is the sign of SDS fix with recent update. OS tries to recover from bad sectors of eMMC blocks can be also a SDS fix.

but if it freezes even frequently after 30 min. of boot then I am worried this can be serious SDS issue

No 100% SDS secure solution yet.

Update itself patched something related to the issue if you are on Pure stock.

but in the end unfortunately it Dies, Service center will Replace with Safe motherboard.

So in any case there is no reason to worry until you have in warranty period.
[Galaxy Note II General] dcpathak:
Information needed...

Hi Everybody!

I'm planning to buy a note 2 but am holding myself only because of sds. Heard that perhaps the newer stock is coming with a different eMMC chip and would not have sds. I request people who have bought a note 2 that is manufactured sometime in February, 2013 to check if they have the insane chip. The stock that I'm getting on shops is of February, 2013 and if others don't have the faulty eMMC chip in their mobile manufactured in February, then chances are that I would also have a safe chip. Any information in this regard would be highly appreciated. I would be buying in Hyderabad.
[Galaxy Note II General] nicholes:
i am also waiting like you but bad news is not only new update but also 0xf7 chip is getting SDs so no solution is as yet we will have to wait more ....

for futhure info about SDS read last few post here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2093599&page=49
[Galaxy Note II General] kachrukamble:

Hi,

I am on Omega v15 with Perseus 33.4 kernel.

Want to try Wanamlite.

Could you please let me know if Adam Kernel has SDS fix and if Wanamlite has the feature where you can turn on the torch by long pressing the home button on locked screen?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II General] kachrukamble:
SDS fix is included in the kernel,

Torch on home button feature is not available in the Rom.

However simplistic framework mod will do the job for this
[Galaxy Note II General] dcpathak:
yes, know that but may be that device would be free from sds. I don't want anything larger than Note 2 also but the sds has put everything on hold. It is difficult to believe that Samsung is keeping people in dark over it and keeps in selling faulty devices.

My passion for note 2 also stems from the S-pen otherwise I would happily settle for something else.
[Galaxy Note II General] nicholes:
you stole my words!!!

i am also at exact the same thinking

same to same :)
[Galaxy Note II General] dcpathak:
To tell you something weird, now I've started thinking that I should buy a budget android phone and forget note 2 for better. I've zeroed in on Spice Stellar Pinnacle. Its reviews seems to be good. Only cons are its a dual-core and 1 gb ram, low ppi (would not matter much).
[Galaxy Note II General] swifthyd:
I have a problem in that when I am sleaking on my note 2 people near me can hear the person on the other side also. This means they can listen to the whole conversation. Is there any solution. Thanks

it is 1.5 Ghz quad core with 2 GB ram and updates every week and major update in a month looks good

one of my friend is going to Bangkok so he may bring it for me it costs 17000 rs around or i will buy note 1
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
But do you think xiomi or whatever would give the performance of note ii? Them you'll get even better substitutes from China. I had seen a quad core 1.6ghz 2gb China phone for 14k. Lemme see if I can find out a link. Performance doesn't totally depend on these numbers, but quality.

《Samsung Galaxy Note II ★ GT-N7100》
[Galaxy Note II General] nicholes:
what do you think about note 1 ???
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
Yes. The original Note is also an awesome device. Spec wise it still cannot be considered really obsolete for a high end device. But it wouldn't be as good as Note II. But that's how it has to be, right? :)

《Samsung Galaxy Note II ★ GT-N7100》
[Galaxy Note II General] nicholes:
note 2 is ... no doubt full fill my needs i really want it. but only sds is preventing me .. other options are good but i want an s-pen device with bigger screen.

so thus only note 1 comes in my mind. and yes that's how it has to be.

so i have decided to go for note 1 only if i get second hand, in very cheaper price.otherwise i would wait for note 2 and see if sds goes away.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Note1 have emmc brick bug similar to sds,

Both device have patch for bug

Have you ever seen any sds case on device running latest 2013 relrasef firmwares?
[Galaxy Note II General] nicholes:
here is 0xf7 is not safe (sorry for the bad news)

this man updated his note 2 (4.1.2) and sds came to him(infect he thinks that update cause it LOL)

and according to him there is no fix for sds as yet
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Actually it lacks some information still

B'coz latest version of kernel only have patched and same for recovery, previously same cases happened, they reported they were on latest stock rom but ultimately they were on older kernel and recovery which was not patched, so if recovery and kernel are not patched then there is no meaning to have latest rom as poaching believe to be done in recovery and kernel only.

Really I have not seen single case who surely have latest rom with stock recovery and kernel or patched recovery and kernel
[Galaxy Note II General] Jackmax32:
Same hea. Want a S- pen with a big screen.

I am planning to get the Note 2 but after reading about the SDS I am having second thoughts.

Note 1 is out of question for me. I got a Snapdragon S3 dual core Xperia S now and it wouldn't be much of an upgrade for me if I go for Note 1 - performance wise.
