Not working for me. Flashed the zip, wiped what needed, there is no Accuweather widget under widget list!

Must I be running TW launcher for this? I've switched to TW launcher, just to check, but I don't see any Accuweather widget there either, even the stock one (Note 2 one) is not there!

PS: It's working. I guess it'll only work under TW, damn. Can't bear it, so no luck for me. Will wait for a non TW version.

Btw, found some glitches though, under the app settings.

Query regarding Indian Modem

Hi Guys,

I'm on the latest Omega Rom (v 15) with Perseus Kernel.

I'm suffering from poor reception and 3G speed. I did not have that problem with v14.

I did a complete wipe, system format, etc. etc. but still have that problem.

Maybe I should try the latest Indian modem,

I did a search and came across this thread -

Can someone please confirm if DDALJ1 is the latest indian modem?

cheers.

If it performs very well in real world usage, why do you care about benchmarks? Till date I haven't seen any application/game which the Note2 cannot run smoothly.
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
The fact is, I have. I don't play many games but Temple Run 2 and Temple Run OZ gets a little choppy at full graphics. :banghead:

《Samsung Galaxy Note II ★ GT-N7100》
[Galaxy Note II General] krishelnino:
Yes, the temple run games are a bit choppy. Maybe the reason is due to improper optimization on android devices? I played temple run on a Nexus 4 also and it was similar kind of experience to Note 2. The gaming experience is no way comparable to iOS devices which feel much better. But our hardware is capable enough of running such games. Games like NOVA 3, MC4, NFS most wanted and Real Racing 3 have far better graphics but they run super smooth.
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
Woah! That's totally a new info. Since Temple Run games are the only stuff I play, I really didn't know all this. But I remember having had better experience in a One X. I don't know. Anyways I'm quite happy with my phone. That's that. Thank you :)

Actually I have 2 reason for selling my device..

1 I already tell in advt and second one is, I m worried about decreasing price of note 2 regularly...
[Galaxy Note II General] arunsankar:
Charging problem

My note 2 is acting up from this morning. This is what happened (in chronological order)

1) Plugged in to the AC charger and nothing happened, it didn't say its charging nor the red led lit up :crying:

2) Checked with another USB cable and tried another charger, no change. Between, tried the note 2 charger on a BB PlayBook and it started charging.

3) Rebooted, battery removed and tried again. No change.

4) After 10 mins of fiddling up, it started charging but I noticed the red light was so faint. After a couple minutes LED came to normal glow but upon close watching I saw that the LED is blinking as if there is some loose contact some where.

5) Checked if its a loose port or so, but didn't think so.

Now since it started charging am 100% sure the service center people will NOT take my case :( Anyone else had similar issues? Any thoughts
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
Mandeep, the value of every phones out there would decrease with time, no matter what. Plus I don't think our's has gone down to a really bad extend yet. After all, we don't buy phones to sell them, but to use, right? Selling comes only after we are done using. I would also be selling my note ii for sure when Note III hits our market. But I'm sure I would have really made use of at least the depreciated value of this phone that I'm gonna lose while selling it. That's the whole point. It's all about utility.

《Samsung Galaxy Note II ★ GT-N7100》

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

Arun Sankar, yes! I'd faced this problem very regularly a couple of months back and it lasted for more than a week if I remember it right. After plugging in the charger, the phone wouldn't start charging until another 5 or 6 minutes till when no LED indication would be shown. After a while this issue got resolved by its own. Plus the LED indicator has different brightness level in my phone too. I don't know when and how each of these levels kick in but it's still there. At times the indicator is bright, at times it's not. I thought this was a normal thing.

《Samsung Galaxy Note II ★ GT-N7100》
[Galaxy Note II General] arunsankar:
Thanks man. I haven't tried 5 or 6 minutes. Glad to know someone else also had this issue. So I'll keep checking for another week or so. The brightness level thing I have found out just now. The charging indicator brightness has relation to the ambient light sensor. If you mask the sensor with your finger, you can see after 5-10 seconds that the LED glows faint and comes back to full life once there is ambient light :good: Let's see how it goes after say one or two weeks. Between, when you had this issue do your remember if the LED used to blink as if there's a loose contact?
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
No bro. The indicator wouldn't even turn on during those initial minutes. I remember getting a normal indication once the charging starts. And yes, LED does have different levels of brightness. I've come across a LED notification app that exploits this feature. But I never thought this particular case would be associated with the ambient light sensor :)

《Samsung Galaxy Note II ★ GT-N7100》
[Galaxy Note II General] Mandeep148:
yes, but samsung price decreases much faster than other.. I know note 2 is good phone...

Or sell it now and wait for s4?

No No, I downloaded the apk from your link, also pushed it to system.

[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
Mandeep, If you are very sure about buying the S4, you may sell your phone now and save, may be another 1000 or 2000 you might lose if you sell it 2 months later. But again I won't recommend you to buy the S4 on day one coz Samsung phones are always overpriced in the beginning. I would recommend you to wait for its price to go down and then buy it, say after 3 months. Sell your note ii only then. You would still face a loss of something close to the aforementioned price. This way you would be able to utilize your note ii better before selling it and at no extra cost, plus you'll get to keep a high end phone throughout.

You need to have root and Simplistic Framework mod. If you prefer not to root, an alternative is Go Locker, search for it in the play store. Install a theme like the ICS theme.

all s4 features like dual recording and all can be ported???

all owners right now pls help out..

sorry for too many questions.. and if wrong posted in forum

thx in advance..
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
Yes. Most of s4's features are likely to be ported to S3 and Note II by Samsung itself in the coming updates. But there would be still some features that cannot be ported. The hover function for example.

Note II is still a good buy. sPen is definitely gonna blow your mind. Waiting for the Note III would be a lot of wait. If you badly want a phone now, Note III isn't an option at all.

Between S4 and Note II, I haven't still used a 1080p phone yet. But if I'm right about it, our phone still has a pretty decent display and has all it would take to easily render 1080p videos. 8mpx and 12mpx, do we actually need all those extra pixels? I doubt. So I think Note II would be the best phone for you now. You'll simply fall in love with the big display :)

NEED help

Hey Doc

I have rooted my note 2 using method 1 using Odin and want to install OMEGA ROM with Perseus Kernel as my note has insane chip (SDS) :crying:. In Perseus Kernel thread there are 2 kernels for N7100

1. Perseus-alpha34.2-n7100.tar

2. Perseus-alpha34.2-n7100-CWM.zip

Please let me know which one to flash after flashing OMEGA ROM. also if any thing else is required further

(or just flashing ROM then flashing kernel will do the job)

Thanks

Udayan
[Galaxy Note II General] krishelnino:
After flashing the ROM, you can either

1. flash the tar file using Odin directly from PC

2. if you download the zip file, then copy it to your phone and then flash it using CWM recovery.

Just flash the ROM and then kernel. Later you can flash any themes/mods if you like
[Galaxy Note II General] udayan08:
One more issue Omega rom that I have downloaded in in ZIP format however odin uses .tar / .md5 .. What should i do???
[Galaxy Note II General] kachrukamble:
Additionally, you need to flash custom recovery on your device for flashing Zips in recovery.

Download Latest Philz/TWRP .Tar file from original development thread and flash with odin as pda.

after this, you can be able to flash zip files through recovery.
[Galaxy Note II General] krishelnino:
Omega ROM which you have downloaded will be in zip format. You cannot flash Omega ROM through Odin. Follow this step by step

1. Root your device

2. Install a custom recovery through Odin,

3. Copy the Omega ROM v15 installation zip file to your phone and flash it through recovery

4. Flash the Perseus kernel either through Odin(if you have tar file) or through phone recovery(if you have downloaded zip file)

Hope this helps.
