I guess there's no harm asking again. I'm having a minor issue with my display timeout. It wouldn't go off on its own. I've tried reseting the timeout delay, tried few third party apps and nothing worked. Only a reboot would solve the issue but then it would come back again. Any permanent fix? If not a permanent fix, atleast any 3rd party app that can force the display to go off? I'm on JB 4.1.2 stock rom and I've never rooted my phone. Please reply, someone :)

Help? :'(

need some suggestion and recommendation

Is it possible to use Note-2 in horizontal mode? Right from lock screen itself.

I want to get vehicle al dock for my phone which is can hold my phone in horizontally and watching movie and navigation can continue use in that mode…I know once you go to particular application it can turn auto rotation and use it but when switch off phone and switch on again it asks for password I need to key in vertical mode only.
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
An app called Rotation Locker might help you. But it does not start up at boot. There are also some themes available on play store that gives the landscape mode an elegant look.

Problem with Mobile ODIN

Okay, I might be in a bit of a trouble. I tried flashing something through Mobile ODIN, and now am stuck on the mobile ODIN logo at the boot. Nothing has happened for a very long time. My instincts tell me to flash stock recovery through desktop ODIN, but I thought maybe I would take the advice of some of you guys. Any reply would be appreciated.

It needs media rescan to add to music player, usually it happens after system reboot. Try 'rescan media' from play Store.

[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Type full letter first then press 3rd raw 3rd key to make it half letter. when you type next letter first one become half.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
OTA just updates file which are new/modified in new ROM, while Odin/Kies replaces total ROM.(all the files in the ROM)

Thats why OTA size is variable depends on how much modification there in new ROM.

once you get OTA update, you can re root.

How to make call history unlimited

Dear friends

I may ask you something off topic, but please help

I want my call log(call history) unlimited, I googled but did not find what I want
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
There isn't a way actually. It's limited to 500 entries afaik, after that it'll start deleting from the first one by date.

You could however take a backup of the calls.db file when 500 entries are done, then you'll have all the entries, but not in phone/call logs :)

And this isn't off topic.

Call Logs Backup & Restore

If looking for a free app, I would recommend "Call Logs Backup & Restore" in Play store by Ritesh Sahu.

I use his SMS backup and Restore and it has never failed me.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Wat i believe is just backup utility is incomplete as stand alone if user wants to keep all logs/sms

As after completing limits you have to delete logs and to retrieve particular log/sms from backup is not user friendly

What I am doing for sms is

Backup sms to sms to Gmail, so I can have track of any msg from my Gmail in case of need, so non important sms I delete, but still stored on Web mail account, while important msg I keep in inbox and that I backup with sms backup and restore with schedule.

Concerned about SDS

Hi,

I flashed latest stock ROM (N7100XXDLL7_N7100ODDDLL2_N7100DDDLK6_HOME.tar.md5) via PC odin.

I am on:

Baseband: N7100DDDLK6

Build Number: JZO54K.N7100XXDLL7

Kernel Version: 3.0.31-679347

Could you please confirm if this is the very ROM which contains the SDS fix or was there some other update after this ROM which had the fix?

I am rooted so I am missing OTA updates and not sure if I have Samsung's fix of SDS.

Would you rather recommend Persues Kernel to be safe from SDS?

Yesterday my friend's S3 died the sudden death and I am kind of worried about my Note 2 now.
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Is this information fully correct? Then I'll just revert back to 4.1.1 and flash that file only.

sboot.bin is bootloader which fix exploit

boot.img is kernel, which believed to be patched for SDS, Recovery also been patched.
[Galaxy Note II General] dexter10478:
Dr. Ketan, could you please confirm if the Recovery in your link is stock and when flashed, it replaces the CWM-based recovery v6.0.1.5-jb.

And that after flashing the recovery from your link, we can reflash CWM-based recovery v6.0.1.5-jb again to get the nandroid backup/restore featuers while still have the SDS fix in the stock recovery?

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Yes.

If you replace stock recovery(which believed to be fixed) with other one how it can still have fix, naturally it depends on existing recovery which you have flashed.
[Galaxy Note II General] dexter10478:
Thanks. Appreciate all your help.

So we can't have SDS fix along with any recovery with Nandroid backup/restore and other CWM like features?

UPDATE: TWRP 2.3.3.2 (changelog) has link to this github commit by AndreiLux with comment

mmc: Soft-patch MoviNAND VTU00M (16GB) eMMC failure

I guess this is the recovery we need to use for advanced recovery features along with SDS fix.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
I think you got it with your update, I was saying it depends on your recovery whether it is patched or not.

[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
@pupet

I do prefer odin always

-Kies is well known big crap

-with odin you can flash device in any status rooted /cwm/custom rom whatever

-you can keep file with you for future flashing with odin.
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
That ROM is available for over a week now.

If you're not rooted then just use Kies to upgrade, otherwise use Odin.

It's easy, to upgrade via Kies, just connect your phone, and follow the on screen instructions. Make sure USB drivers are installed.

For Odin, you will need to download the whole ROM from either here or sammobile.com, and flash via PDA option in Odin. See Dr.Ketan's topic for more information.

Both are very safe, unless you're a very unlucky person.
