Guys , got my beast today . but it seem i am having an issue . My device is not getting updated to 4.1.2 . its stuck at 1.1. As soon as i started it received one update of 12 mb and then after that its saying its latest one . Anyone facing this issue . Or is this an issue ?
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
I'd say **** it. You just got it and enjoy it at full flow. Congratulations btw.

Wait 2-3 days, if it still says 'latest' then just download the 4.1.2 ROM and flash it via Odin, no big deal.

OTA updates depends on Samsung servers, who knows what's going on there!

Is there any way by which I can quit the music app instead of going to active app and then ending it ????
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
When you are running the Music app on background it should be there on the notification pull down screen. Hit the left side, where the album image is there, it will place you inside the Music app, hit Menu, End.

Cumbersome but I haven't found an easier way. I never use it though.

I am currently having a TATA DOCOMO SIM installed on my Note II. anytime I use data and my 3g signal disconnects, I get the UMTS Message from Docomo showing me my balance information, etc. Since my data signal frequently disconnects on my Note 2 and I get those automatic message frequently (similar to when completing a call), I feel like it automatically turns on my screen and consumes battery life. Is there a way to disable these automatic prompts by DOCOMO?
[Galaxy Note II General] Rahul.raj:
On my current ROM (CM10.1 derivative), if I pause the music and then press <Back> to go back to the menu, the app notification is no longer there in the status bar. However if I do a <Back> with the music playing, the icon is there and the music continues playing.

Is that what you were looking for?
[Galaxy Note II General] puppet:
Just unplug 3.5 mm jack...well thats if your using it.
[Galaxy Note II General] chaitanya87:
If you want to use only 3g then select only wcdma in network mode instead of auto. Suppose in auto mode whenever you're talking it automatically selects 2g mode. Hence you get these notifications.
[Galaxy Note II General] puppet:
Android constantly drains your data resulting hefty internet charges especially on hspa .its better to uncheck mobile data when you are not using it.Moreover your battery will go an extra mile.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
This is your network provider service, it giving you summary at end of each data session.( i have suffer it too for long time on airtel before finding solution)

There are many application in android activates data connection and it end once finish sync. this time you getting pop up msg.

install quiet balance from play store to get rid of it.

Nope,

I think above user have nothing to do with auto connection, many network having this, it gives summary at end of data connection.

In auto mode whenever we talking why we connects to 2g?

In auto mode it connects to 2G, only when there is no 3G network available. In fact in 3G there is no data disconnects even you are on call, why 2G it gets disconnect when you placing call (E symbol disappears while calling, but 3G/H symbols remains as it is while you calling)

There is no practical use to select 'Only WCDMA' b'coz this cause network loss if 3G is not available in area you are traveling.Instead keeping Auto is better and keeps you on 3G only whenever it is available, otherwise switch to 2G. still if you dont using too much data, you can keep 'GSM Only' which saves good amount of battery.
[Galaxy Note II General] chaitanya87:
OK I agree with u completely but when you're traveling in auto mode, it'll keep searching for 3g even if there is no coverage in that area. So it's up to the user to decide to switch on 3g when it's required.

Another question is if our phone falls to sudden death is there any possible way for the SVC guys to check what firmware ,kernel and recovery we are on? SDS will be a hard brick right?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
1.But what about when you are running out of 3G network? you know in india there is no 3G network around all the corners. if you select WCDMA only, then you will have no network at all, is this practical?

My answer was in reply to 'select WCDMA Only'. Using only WCDMA is totally non practical, but still 'GSM only' is better for whom, who is running out of 3G network OR no data connections needs.

2.If it is full death, then there is no way to detect any information regarding firmware/flash counter

in case of partial death(some cases there is still possible to reboot to recovery/download mode, in such cases they can collect some information)
[Galaxy Note II General] chaitanya87:
OK good to know. Then partial death will be due to flashing a wrong file and selecting recheck partition in Odin right?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
But what i believe is, really it is useless to have high end device if you disable sync. if you don't get push notification then what is mean to have such application isn't?

In india internet is quite affordable. truly speaking if you keep all the sync ON, just few KB data gets used to keep connection live. ( i don't think one will count it who using 35K device) But of course you can consider it in terms of battery management. For that what i feel is, use some profiles with one of many available app on play store.

I have setup phone weaver for certain task

- It swith On wifi, at the time when i reach to office, and switch off once time to out.

-It switch on & off whenever i reach to home, so my mobile data gets connected only time when i traveling between home and office

-It switch off all the radios, at the time i used to get sleep. and turn it on just few min earlier to time to wake up. This help me alot and during my sleep time hardly i losing 2-3 % battery juice.

If your timing is not fixed, you can use location based trigger OR can use NFC tag.

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

No No, that is not death at all, that is call soft brick. which usually you can recover.

Partial death is same as full death, it needs to change hardware but still you can able to reboot to recovery/download) such cases are reported on SDS.
[Galaxy Note II General] chaitanya87:
OK let me make my mind clear. If any phone gets SDS then the SVC guys can check the recovery and download mode right.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
It depends on type of SDS

there are two types of SDS reported

1.Full death - SSC guys almost unable to get device info

2.Partial death (or some name it half death) - here recovery/download mode or both available, in such cases they may get info.

PS : when you get device brick by flashing wrong file, it is not death but soft brick, and that can be recover without changing any hardware.
[Galaxy Note II General] chaitanya87:
So in cases of partial death , what are the chances of recovering without changing the hardware?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Nothing.

There is download mode, but nothing seems to work when you fllash something.

That's because of there is hardware issue.

I used Gadgetshieldz on my first Note 2; It was great, but the fitting isn't as great as BestSkinsEver. I've exchanged my Note 2 for a new one and now use BestSkinsEver; BestSkinsEver really provides better coverage, perfect install, whereas Gadgetshieldz leaves a gap in some areas. However, Gadgetshieldz is still the best you can find in India because the price is cheaper compared to its competitors and the differences are hardly discernible. I still strongly recommend you all to use Gadgetshieldz for keeping your phone in Mint Condition. I wish I could have taken some pictures of my Gadgetshieldz Install if someone had requested earlier. However, I can ensure you, you won't be disappointed. You can purchase them from ebay India. They don't have the orange peeling effect and they don't have the yellow discoloration like what Zagg InvisibleShield has. I've used Gadgetshieldz on my S2 and Note 1 before. I don't use my phones exposed with the skins, I still use a case. That's why I use the Otterbox Defender Series for the Note 2. Shipping is free to the U.S. if you buy Gadgetshieldz on their online store; I find the prices relatively the same. Gadgetshieldz is based in Chennai, India. Designed in the U.S., Made in India (The quality is great, no doubt).

Installation is easy, but can be tricky if you plan to use just plain distilled water. The idea is to use a drop of baby shampoo into a bowl or cup of water and apply the skins one-by-one. Installation can take anywhere between 15 and 45 minutes depending on your experience and especially your handling.

Please post a screenshot, and post a picture of the actual charger you have purchased. I would like to have one for travel purposes. According to the listing, its suppose to be the same as the one that comes with the retail box. No one should be selling something that is not made for that particular device. It needs to be 5v / 2A. This is a genuine Samsung charger, right? Not a knock-off?

Available NEW with warranty for around 34k+ on ebay. That means you WILL get a better deal from retailers. Just visit a couple and try to to make them compete against each other. That's what I did back in oct to get a great discount.

If you are going for a used one, make sure not to pay more than 29k for it. That too only if it comes with some months of Samsung India warranty.

While I am asking a similar question (current street price), I don't think the dealer price currently is above 32K.

Who are on rooted device, you may get update but will fail to install. to get OTA you have to unroot first + wipe cache and data to get OTA.

Sorry but I m also confused if u need to unroot to get update..

Mi8 need some xpert advice here..

P.s ok according to @dr.ketan u can install ota on rooted device with stock recovery..
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Sorry, even if you unroot you will not be receiving the OTA upadte, nor the device will be supported for update via Kies.

So you can do two things, flash the last full ROM released for India via Odin. And then your device will have the status 'Official' and you will receive OTA update. And another way is just to download the latest Full ROM (~1 GB) and flash it via Odin. No one will opt the first method as it sounds crazy unless someone wanna see how OTA update works, lol.

The main thing is, whatever you do, unless you flash a full ROM via Odin, there won't be any update.

PS: I really don't know why Dr.Ketan says you can update OTA if you have Stock recovery but that ain't the case, am afraid to say. If you are on Stock recovery and try to update OTA, it'll keep saying 'checking for updates' and that screen will stay forever, and if you are on advanced recovery then a message will pop up that 'your device has been modified. Updates are not supported'. In either case, you will NOT be able to receive any update.
