Well, here is a nice problem for you to solve if you think this thread is going slow, I hope this livens up things a bit.

On the 3rd of this month, I shifted from my long time wifi network (Tata broadband@1MB) to a new one on the market(Nextra@10MB) which promises much, much higher speed at around the same price. Now don't get excited about Nextra, as it's limited only to Dwarka, Delhi, where yours truly lives. And even though this does sound fishy, for the last 2 days I have witnessed that they actually provide the high speed they promise. However, I have also seen something which has baffled me. Both my mum and my laptop catch the 10MB speed no matter where I take them in my house, but my note 2 only catches the 10MB only when right next to the Wifi router. As soon a I step off 4-5 metres away from the router the speed starts dropping drastically, so much that in my bed in my room which is around 10 metres from the router, and seperated by a wall, I only get around 6,4 or sometimes around 1 MB.

Is there some problem with my cellphones Wifi? Do I need to take it to the samsung service center? I will be very glad if someone could explain any of this.

All right, found a cure on this very section. There is apparently an 11 page thread on this problem - I had seen the heading before but never ventured inside, much like the gym next to my flat.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1956155

Apparently power saving mode for Wifi was on by default on my Note 2, just like it must be on numerous other Note 2s. All I had to do was dial *#0011# to enter service mode, select menu, wifi, and then turn it off. Wifi on Note 2 is working normally now with speeds around 10MBPS. The only problem being that this resets itself on every boot. Trying to find an alternative, or somehow make Tasker to do this on every boot, but so far unsuccessful. Anyway, even repeating this small process on every boot isn't much of a hassle.

Folks, I have got new Note-2 just transition from iPhone, i would say not fully transition as i have both phone with me, I bought Note-2 just experience Android world after using Apple IOS like 4 1/2 years.

go to your router setting page and in wireless configuration change the value of TxPower to 100%

First of all, welcome to a higher and better place in the world. I personally recommend that you throw away that primitive thing they call an iPhone, but ofcourse, it is totally up to you :D. I myself prefer stock+root with Nova and mods such as a script to change my external sd to my internal memory (64 GB), and complete multiwindow app, increased volume mod etc but you can ofcourse visit the android devlopment forum for N7100 which has hundreds of brilliant ROMs. As for rooting your phone, check this out

galaxy note 2 dubai

hi people

i bought my note 2 from dubai last week

i rooted it via exynos abuse method

im however unable to get updates via kies or OTA before rooting and after.

Is there any way i can install official Indian 4.1.2 ROM and be able to get OTA or KIES updates normally ?

Please help :)

thanks
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Once you have rooted and system change to modified, you won't get update via OTA/Kies

Unroot from exynose abuse, it may turn system Normal

otherwise you may need to factory reset to get system status normal, after that you can get OTA

Easiest way is just flash full ROM with Odin and reroot

ExynosAbuse

i read on the "ExynosAbuse" original thread that even if you unroot the phone after using the ExynosAbuse-v1.40 apk, it will still show your device as "modified"? will it cause warranty problems?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
If your flash counter is 0,have not to worry much regarding status 'modified', as far as warranty is concerned, bcoz you can just reboot to recovery and wipe cache and data it will turn to 'normal'

If you are not able to reboot to recovery, you can flash stock rom with odin and you can get status 'normal'

If you are not able to put device either on recovery /download mode(hard brick) , hardly they will come to know about your status.

Have you unrooted device first?

uncheck disable exploit both place

unroot device first and check whether you can root with exynose abuse.

Vesion will change to LL7 only after flashing ROM, not by just bootloader.
[Galaxy Note II General] deohrishikesh7:
yes i was able to unroot and re root using exynos abuse

one question

while updating bootloader via odin which tab i have to select pda or bootloader?

is it possible to unroot then update via ota/kies then re root using cf auto root method

as you can see i m new at this hence not keen on flashing roms etc
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
It should be PDA

Have you used bootloader?
[Galaxy Note II General] deohrishikesh7:
no i used pda

possible to unroot then update and re root using cf auto root

i m new at this hence not keen on flashing roms etc
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
If you want to flash rom with Odin, no need to unroot, flashing ROM itself unroot it, later you can root it with Cf auto root.
[Galaxy Note II General] deohrishikesh7:
ok got it. i guess i will wait til major update.

thanks for your patience though ...

does flashing rom wipes out data incl apss etc.?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
No, flashing official stock ROM doesn't wipe.

Though backup is highly recommended. in case you get bootloop, you have to wipe it.

Exploit allows patching may be b'coz you have rooted with Cf root.

my phone doesnt show 3g symbol

Hi All, I'm using BSNL 3G service in my Galaxy Note-2 ( sim which i was using for iPAD and i have the BSNL micro sim with iiPad plan). I'm noticing my note to shows either "H" or "E" symbol (Basically HSPA and Edge) only but i was expecting this should show 3G as my service is 3G.

Its not about the location where 3g service not available and all those stuff, because the same SIM it shows 3G in iPad.

My note-2 network setting is set to Auto, is there anything i'm missing? does anyone experiencing similar issue?
[Galaxy Note II General] dexter10478:
I think it has more to do with quality of the network signal at that location. My SIM is on H+ outside, but at home (where sometimes signal is low) its always E (i.e. 2G). It might also depend on the device, since I earlier used to use Motorola Defy (on Cyanogenmod) which used to be on H+ even in my house on the same SIM.

Those who are in LL4 and want to patch themselves with the Exynos Abuse- flash the boot.img from LL7 along with the sboot.bin. i think sboot.bin is Samsung's attempt at fixing the SDS (Sudden Death Syndrome) that affects devices with the eMMC and firmware as seen in the screenshot.

EDIT: According to AndreiLux, Exynos Abuse is only one of the various security holes Samsung had left open. Guess that's why we have an updated kernel as well as bootloader.

[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
This is the way it should work.

It showing H means it using 3G.

When there is your device is idle and no data exchange occurs it displays 3G, while when there is data exchange going on it turns to H (HSPDA).

when it displays E, it means your area having no 3G networks, and running on 2G. once there is 3G available, it will auto connect to 3G as you have set 'Auto'in network selection mod.

There is no issue in network, N-joy.
