Hello everyone.. I have a note 2 running 4.3 DDUENA1 and I need to root it I don't care about tripping the knox as my warranty is over I just need to root successfully and safely so I can move app data to memory card and also will be able to update my device when I'm rooted? Any info would be really appreciating
[Galaxy Note II General] optimusPRIME:
Currently I'm on JB 4.3 XXEMI6 rooted with recovery.

Knox bit = 1

My phone has INSANE CHIP!

Can anybody confirm, there is an incident of SUDDEN DEATH on MI6 or relative builts? :confused:

I'm curious to know, Samsung fixed this issue or not on newer builts.:confused:

& how can I revert to Indian built?

Someone help me please...
[Galaxy Note II General] cardozclive:
Hi doc. Nice to see u onboard. We thought you had abandoned note 2 community. Was hoping to see u continue the development for Note 2 but I guess waiting for kitkat would be worth

Battery life sucks a bit more than JB...Ho hum...So much for the update most of us were looking forward to...No major UI changes...Same pathetic UI with just white icons on the status bar and a blueish tinge to the notifications panel...PATHETIC...!!!
[Galaxy Note II General] assist4tech:
GUI sucks big time after 4.4 update.

- The default is minimal sorts.

- Lockscreen keypad has shrunk so much that I end up pressing two keys in one stroke.

- White icons for Data and battery are depressing

- All the system shortcuts from status bar have lost shadow effect

- Battery drains quicker

- RAM management is still an issue.

- Stretched album art behind lockscreen... means who thinks all this ?? 1/2 of screen is acceptable, but stretched across screen.. common

Overall Samsung just to create a news wave have rolled out a patch rather than an update.
[Galaxy Note II General] assist4tech:
Some more changes to note -

1. Camera shortcut is now available on lockscreen but only under Swipe type

2. Calculator GUI has changed

3. Contacts and Call log is bit sorted . Looks better after changing the font to Samsung Sans

4. Printing option added but oddly its available under "More Networks"..:confused:
[Galaxy Note II General] grubber24:
Battery life was better on 4.3 than on Kitkat. Also wakelock detector needs root permissions in Kitkat. Anybody has any idea of using "Developer Options --> Process Stats" to know whats consuming battery? I have not rooted my phone yet and dont plan to.

Also guys any help on Scratch guard and case ?
[Galaxy Note II General] Dpk1:
Hmmm.. but i don't think S3 screen is any punchier/sharper than GN2 screen despite S3's higher pixel density! Actually i did a lots of hands on comparison b/w GN2 n S3 (esp. the screen), and to my eye the GN2 screen is better all the way, be it sharpness, brightness, or colour (or size ;))! Maybe its because GN2 uses RGB type vs pentile matrix used in S3, i also read somewhere that the effective pixel density is actually higher on GN2 screen. Link below compares Note 2 screen with S3 screen :

http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-note-2-vs-galaxy-s3-display-comparison-rgb-pentile-121182/

+1 on getting the phone from local shops than online (saves a lot of time n trouble)! I got mine for 36.3k a month back. There are a lot of cases n screen guards available for note 2, see the accessories section! I've got the official flip case (purely for looks) and a cheap silicone case (for protection) along with a couple others ( a White flip case and leather pouch which i don't use).

Lolz I thought you'd waits 1 year more SGN3...:D

Manufacturers sell the drive based on 1GB=1000MB, 1MB=1000kb 1KB=1000bytes....and so on.

Hard drives/Memory Cards are formatted like this: 1GB=1024MB, 1MB=1024kb, 1KB=1024bytes...and so on...

This works out to be approximately a loss of ~74MB per GB of advertised capacity so do the math:16GB advertised space * 74MB = 1184MB or ~ 1.2 GB

16GB - 1.2GB = 14.8 GB

Do that for 32gb too...
