yea. I looked up on their site and see it.

http://www.cromaretail.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-2-Scratchgard-pc-15688-536.aspx

Called up their customer care and strangely the lady said that they don't stock any mobile accessories in the retail store. They can apparently be purchased only online.

I will visit the local Croma and find out when I go that way.
[Galaxy Note II General] watsinaname:
That must be a very misinformed lady, any Croma that I have been to has these scratch guards available for several phones models.
[Galaxy Note II General] seltaeb:
I can confirm this. They are also flooded with Note 1 and S3 covers / cases, but none for the Note 2 :-/

Just bought this awesome leather back cover for my note.

its not an extra cover. it will replace the existing battery cover. so the thickness will not increase.

32GB & 64GB variant of Galaxy note 2 in india

I really don't understand why Samsung has launched only 16GB version of galaxy note 2, where as in south Korea 32GB & 64GB Versions are available instead of 16GB. Samsung is #1 smart phone maker in India...at least they could think twice before launching this light memory of only 16GB version in India.....

Any updates about 32 & 64GB Version in India...?

I am eagerly waiting for this...
[Galaxy Note II General] Dpk1:
Hello Guys!

Got the titanium grey Note 2 few days back and am really impressed with its performance :victory:. Also have a Xperia S, but note 2 is a real beast like all others have already mentioned. It already has option to disable a lot of bloatware so i don't see myself rooting this anytime soon :D.

Btw, i got all accessories in white colour along with titanium grey phone out of the box :confused:. Is this normal or standard? And is it only me or anyone else too got all white accessories with siver note in their box?

from that pic, it doesn't looks to put any extra Ring to Top and Bottom of the device.

Back looks perfect though.
[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
It's a barely there case type, not useful for protection. It hardly cones till the sides. It's more for showing off:p
[Galaxy Note II General] $LIm:
I bought the same white case for 800. It is almost like a thick shell but with softer right round edge.
[Galaxy Note II General] $LIm:
I also used the same kind of hard shell casing for my S3 which offered no protection when it fell. Ultimately my S3 screen shattered and i ended up buying Note 2 :good:
[Galaxy Note II General] kachrukamble:
The Amzer one is cheap and doesnt offer quality protection like Samsung e store case offers.
[Galaxy Note II General] $LIm:
Actually the case is really sturdy but the problem with it is it doesnt cover the top and bottom portions of the phone.

Hi Guys,

Good Morning!!

Finally i decided to Root :) But I have few questions.

1) If i Install AOSP/AOKP rom is am going to effect SD ?

2) What is best Rom for Note 2( I want one AOSP/AOKP and one SAMMY rom).

Thanks,

Anil
[Galaxy Note II General] jonatton:
1. Effect SD in what way? I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

2. This is highly subjective. Don't expect any objective responses. Try a few out and decide for yourself. Popular ones being: Wanam, Omega, AllianceROM, Pheonix (TW) and Paranoid Android, Carbon (AOSP)

[Galaxy Note II General] kachrukamble:
what customization?
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
It has got life time warranty but I'm not sure what that actually means. Since mine got corrupted in a matter of 4 months, I talked to them straight over and without any delay they shipped me a brand new one. SanDisk is definitely customer friendly.

I think Samsung cards would be available in local Samsung stores or you can always approach them and order for a new one. Transcend cards are also good. I'm on a 16 gig transcend card now.

[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
I believe it's unwise to carry around important data in a card that's at risk of getting corrupted. That's why I opted myself out of using that 64GB card which I got replaced from SanDisk.

《Samsung Galaxy Note II ★ GT-N7100》
[Galaxy Note II General] SacGuru:
'Important data' hardly ever takes space, as most important documents are word docs or documents of some such light software, atleast for me :). Anyway, a 2gb card has as much probability of getting corrupted as a 64gb or even a 2TB harddisk.

I mainly use a 64gb card to store a lot of media on it, and I guess that was your intentions too when u brought that card. Even though the card hasn't gone kaput on me till know, I always try to take regular backups, just in case.

[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
When first got the device with 4.1.1 got exceptional backup, reached 9 hours screen on mark several times. Then after release of 4.1.2 7 hours 30 mins became normal. Now even 6 hours is hard to reach. ****. And the installed number of apps are same if not some are uninstalled.

Gonna flash some Omega ROM, unbelievable even I'm wanting to use a custom ROM.

[Galaxy Note II General] SacGuru:
Of course, if I had had an experience such as yours then I wouldn't trust sandisk either, it's only natural. However I think that any card/memory might crash for any given number of reasons. I feel that the best way to avoid corruption/loss of data is to just put insert your card and not move it too much in and out of the device. Most of the times I have had loss of data on a memory card is when I would take it out regularly and use a cheap reader to attach it to my computer. Since the last couple of years, I have learned to avoid moving the card as much as possible. And of course, backup a lot.

I know the screen on time matters more than standby time.

At the same time standby time should be enough to justified overall battery performanc

6+ hours screen on time with 20 hours standby vs. 6+ hours screen on time and 30+hours standby.

My battery was performing good screen on time but stand by time, it was scoring pretty average. hence the short anylyses.

I ordered 64gb sandisk mobile ultra class 10 from eBay yesterday. I didn't find another make with 64gb capacity. Right now I am using sandisk 32gb ultra class 10.. I haven't faced any issues with it so far. I read many end user reviews relating memory cards on amazon and on flipkart. People using custom roms at times face problems with the memory card. I previously used cyanogenmod on my galaxy S2 with sandisk 32gb. It works perfectly. Other problems faced by users are related to the storage format. I believe sandisk is the best option at present. Samsung has launched 64gb cards but I don't find them online. I guess it's a matter of time when they will be available.

Yes but the fact is I didn't really lose any important data. All the data was intact when it got corrupted, rather locked. I was able to copy everything before I sent it to them. But I still find using a SanDisk card risky :D Don't know why :D

I'm also not in the habit of removing the card a lot from its slot, not even the back cover. I guess I just got unlucky there. Oh well.

[Galaxy Note II General] SacGuru:
While just looking at cards recently, I think I saw transcend 64gb ones too. However they weren't really available on many indian websites. On the one or two websites on which they were available for India, they were very costly. So I guess SanDisk, or Samsung are the options for now.
