My car broke, so I had to opt for public transportation today and I realized how faint this device's vibration is, it's really weak! When I reached my workplace, after 40 mins of ride in both train and bus, I took out my phone and shockingly saw 12 missed calls, 2 texts, great! Yet, I'm a person who feels even the least bit of sensitivity! I know there isn't any way to make the vibration stronger but now I need to find a louder ringtone. Damn! :o

Galaxy S4 was suffering less usb storage availability compare to S3 or Note 2.

Many people made complain about that, so it was expected..

Dear dr., I tried a number of times by touching the proximity sensor to turn on the screen.But it does not turn on.I may ascertain by asking you once again.Whether the proximity sensor is the one little spot just adjacent to the ear piece?And the other little spot near the front camera is the light sensor?By touching each one and also both of the them simultaneously the screen will not turn on.So could there be any reason to become the proximity senser inactive?If so how can it be activated?

Yet another issue.I had set calls only in Call settings/view by item.But it goes when I reboot the phone.I am in the habit of turning off the phone when I go to sleep.So in the morning when I turn on the phone this setting is not there.How can I make this a permanent settings?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
yes that is proximity sensor, try moton on & off / Restart

- You mean you don't want SMS log isn't ? it will remain there with stock

There are few mods there, i don't know about note2.

Something in my memory, I have seen a tiny application which was simply removed msg log. If I remember correctly it was something like converter , may be log convertor just search on play store.
[Galaxy Note II General] 49ml:
A lot of people are having issues with the proximity sensor. You can fix it by opening up your phone, unscrewing the sensor and blowing air at it then put the phone back together. That's how I fixed mine. Takes about 10 minutes and is free.

Thank you dr.Got it from Playstore.It is 'Samsung log converter'.Very tiny and effective.

Guys. My unrooted note on stock Samsung still shows system status as modified. I followed Dr ketans method on a thread. It worked initially. But not any more.
[Galaxy Note II General] semantsen:
You have to reset by stock recovery using 3 buttons after using triangle away

I did yesterday only and having normal status and zero count
[Galaxy Note II General] emze:
I had flashed stock pre-rooted, did triangle away and then used superuser to unroot completely. So, doesn't this mean I'm on stock everything?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Yes, you are are completely stock + root.

To unroot anytime just do it from SuperSU setting, then clear data of sysscope. If still modified then sometimes needs factory reset.
[Galaxy Note II General] emze:
yeah... i did unroot with SU only. this was quite sometime back. if i remember right, i think i did a full system reset also
[Galaxy Note II General] srikat:
Do you think it can protect the phone in the unfortunate event of a fall on a hard floor?

Just trying to understand..
[Galaxy Note II General] chaitanya87:
You can use note 1 charger. But it will take more time like 5 hours to charge the phone or more.

I am plugged in though, can't bear any noise, lol.
[Galaxy Note II General] Kannan.Balasubramanian:
Yup, kind of disappointed.

By the way I saw Amzer® Shellster

for SGN2. I used a similar one from MoLife for SGS2 and it protected the mobile perfectly for the past 1.5 years.

Said to be available after 24th of this month. Eagerly waiting for it to show up in stock at Flipkart.

Meanwhile is it ok to use a gel case for my new SGN2 ? or does it leave some kind of marks in the smooth SGN2 body ?

Also I have decided not to use the screen protector, have good faith in Gorilla Glass. At least SGS2 didn't have single scratch on it. But that is mostly due to the MoLife hard case.
[Galaxy Note II General] nikufellow:
Hey guys thinking of buying one gn2 for my sister - but been hearing a lot of charging /battery issues and some minor problems with screen quality including refresh rate and flicker !

Can anybody please comment on this !
[Galaxy Note II General] chaitanya87:
AFAIK there are no charging or battery issues. Also the screen quality is good compared to other flagship phones. If someone having problems with flicker and refresh rate means they got a faulty piece. Go ahead and buy it.:D
[Galaxy Note II General] nikufellow:
Okay thanks for clarifying - also one more doubt are there any new fw versions ? Will it come out of box with latest fw or should i do it manually ?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
i missed you have unrooted, anyway you have completely stock, just sometime you may need to wipe to change status if routine method doesn't work.
[Galaxy Note II General] emze:
ok. i will do a factory reset from recovery. i am downloading the fw file from samfirmware too.

There is a mod for removing SMS from call logs, if you are rooted and on custom ROM. If you have Omega/Phoenix ROM you have the option of enabling the mod in Aroma installer. If not, you have to flash the zip file through recovery

there is small application available samsung log converter is fine for removing sms log. (few msg back it discussed )

I've noticed that sometimes my 3G doesn't work. The icon comes but the arrows beneath it don't light up. Or if they do, only one does. I'm on Vodafone. This is more prevalent on Custom ROMs than on stock, although it is present. What could be the problem? I don't think the network is cause just a few months back, the same sim worked fine on my One X.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Likely it is network issue rather than rom.
[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
Then it must have appeared lately, cause my HOX ran fine... Putting on and off the airplane mode fixes it...

Anyways, any method to diagnose the exact issue with my Network?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Try other(network) SIM on your device and check it.

Btw once delete all APN and restore to default. Also flash Indian modem if you are on other.
[Galaxy Note II General] Sharp-Razr:
I face the same issue - it is network related. In fact it happened this afternoon.

My cellular operator (Vodafone) switches off mobile data for reasons yet unknown.

Happens to my SGN2 and my wife's SGS3 at the same time. So don't worry its nothing to do with the ROM.
[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
Thanks!

How do you live with it?
[Galaxy Note II General] Sharp-Razr:
It's not too much of a hassle actually. Data goes off for between 5-20 minutes and is back. I am not sure if these guys are doing some kind of maintenance on those cell sites.

Also weather can affect cellular service. For e.g. there was a massive thunderstorm yesterday evening and the data went from 3g to 2.5G. Not just Vodafone but my USB internet dongles from Reliance and Tata DOCOMO also dropped their data rates to 2G.

I wouldn't be too concerned if I were you. But if it does bother you a lot open a service request with customer service..# 198 for service issues.
[Galaxy Note II General] mspatil:
When will we get the latest jelly bean 4.2 update for our phones. ......
[Galaxy Note II General] Sharp-Razr:
Short simple answer - nobody knows for sure.
[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
My problem exists all throughout the day. And never corrects itself. I'll lodge a complaint tomorrow.
[Galaxy Note II General] Sharp-Razr:
Then you must report it.

They are pretty prompt with their service responses. But that does not mean they will solve the issue immediately as it (the service req.) is passed on to their network department for further action. The network engineers will visit the area where you face the issue to ascertain the cause.
[Galaxy Note II General] shhbz:
Well same here no connection for 3g/2g from 9 pm and its almost 3.5hours and still not fixed.I am with Airtel cant believe that Airtel has such service in Delhi, was previously using Aircel and it worked fine not even getting full signal on Airtel as stuck at 3 bars at home to the contrary Aircel had full signal.My local recharge dealer informed me that Airtel has been facing this issue from last 2 month or so and there are lot of complaints.

He insisted me to switch to Vodafone for good signal reception and nice 3g/2g speed. :confused:

and to add on to it my MTS dongle even working slower than a 2g connection
[Galaxy Note II General] shethsa:
Same here . Looks like some sort of maintenance (hopefully). Of late my note 2 takes a long time to connect to wifi. Hope its a temporary issue
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
Hey guys.. I'm in bit of a trouble.. I had to port from AirTel to idea coz of non availability of 3G service.. But they don't give micro sim here.. Have to cut them using a cutter.. And cur I did.. After reaching back home I simply tried on the sim to know how it would be and the darned thing got stuck inside.. It wouldn't come out now :( The sim card is working, no it has not been activated yet but I can read contacts.. Is there anyway to push it out? Some tricks that might work? :(

《Samsung Galaxy Note II ★ GT-N7100》
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
There is no trick but just skill is needed, do it very carefully otherwise it may break socket. Get some pointed thing like needle, just press it over sim only and try to slide sim, don't touch any part other than sim.
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
Tried everything.. lemme try again.. Hope it works this time :(

《Samsung Galaxy Note II ★ GT-N7100》
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Slightly pushing sim inside it will be ejected then try to remove.
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
That's not working doc.. That's why I said it's stuck :(

《Samsung Galaxy Note II ★ GT-N7100》
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Yeah that is bcoz of improper cut, do it repeatedly and should solve, just needs

patience
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
Okay doc :) I'll keep trying.. Thanks for being there for us :)

《Samsung Galaxy Note II ★ GT-N7100》
[Galaxy Note II General] shhbz:
well if anyhow u are able to take out the sim be sure to file the edges a bit as cutting it using a micro sim cutter leave the edges a little rough which must have got stuck so make sure you use a nail filer or something and make the edges smooth so that it dont get stuck next time.

my suggesting to you would be just try to put a little pressure pulling the card out but not fully just a bit than again pressing it until u hear a click of sim being fixed this way the edges of sim card will get a little smooth or rather the blocking part of the sim will break and u may get it out but be careful not to break the slot.

if nothing works service center is the best place rather than trying it hard by yourself but till tomorrow u need to wait if you dont get it fixed as SUNDAY service closed.

GOOD LUCk

Isn't it too big a device for a phone?
[Galaxy Note II General] SacGuru:
It is actually quite big, and you will have a problem fitting it inside skinny jeans, and sometimes even normal ones. I sometimes put it in the back pocket while wearing jeans, otherwise there is a bulge in one of your side pockets. But of course in that case I have to remember where I carry it when I am sitting down. It is not a very huge problem though, just a very small annoyance.

However, the awkwardness which comes with this huge size disappears within a couple of days of usage. This small issue is completely overshadowed by the features you have in this phone - right from the awesome display, to the amazing touch, extremely smooth functioning through one of the fastest processors to have been put in a phone, the very useful s-pen etc. In my opinion, I think it is the most complete phone right now.

You actually get very used to the size. I am sure that I will be very annoyed with a screen smaller than 5 inches from now on. I checked Xperia z, htc one etc looking for an upgrade but they didn't attract me at all. The only phone I liked was S4, probably because it looks so much similar to this phone, and also cause it seems so light, almost feathery. But it has been having other probs so not going for it.

I don't know what else I can tell you. My opinion is - get it if you can. It will be an absolute delight, and you will love it.

Coverting Ext SD to internal

Dear dr.,

I saw this thread http://xdaforums.com/show...ighlight=n7105

for converting external sd card to internal.Is there any real benefit for this mod?And by using this whether the performance will affected favourably or adversely?If adverse,in what way ?And if this mod is applied,whether there will be any obstruction in flashing our well waited 4.2 .2 Stock ROM? I eagerly look for valued opinion....
[Galaxy Note II General] mufaddalezzi:
I have my note 2 for 3 months now and it used to be perfect for me but now I have noticed one problem with network connection sometimes it doesn't detect network it says "Emergency Calls Only"(when WDMA/3G is on) and when I turn back to Auto or GSM/2G the network comes back to life so as the Internet Connection..happens very often sometimes in the early morning,evening and at night..my other phone(Htc one x) with the same carrier/network company has full network the whole day(even when note 2 isn't)..so basically its something wrong with the phone not the line..im on non-rooted note 2 with 4.1.2 (MC3)..I'll be glad if anyone can help:)
[Galaxy Note II General] emze:
Swap Sim cards and see if the issue replicates.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Link not working but i think you are saying about swap Int/Ext memory mod.

Anyway i have not used it so don't know much detail about it except name itself suggest it will swap drive.

AFAIK this needs kernel having init.d support to enable at boot,

My priority is to save data while factory reset and i may not have need to backup everytime my Internal storage while factory reset. For this Directory bind is working perfect for me, as i have few data folder with big data size like games/sygic and those are well handle with 'Directory bind'. Beuty of it is directory bind a simpe application and all the paths i have created first time, i can backup with titanium and i need not to have create all paths again after factory reset.
[Galaxy Note II General] pnsdhrn:
OK,dr.Then there is another thread which gives the option of converting ext sd to internal and vice versa.The link is given below.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1857391

It allows to be used with stock kernels also.I was attracted to it because the whole 64 GB can be used as internal memory just like a 64 GB phone(as in the case of new HTC One) !But I don't know whether it attributes any problems also.Eg,at the event of flashing new ROMs (particularly the upcoming stock 4.2.2),new kernels,update zips etc. That is why I am seeking your expert opinion. So waiting with thanks....
[Galaxy Note II General] shethsa:
... And airdrop - an amazing invention to allow sharing of photos to all your friends. Wow
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:

[Galaxy Note II General] mufaddalezzi:
Yeah noticed that after swaping the SIM cards the issue was gone...had a new SIM card today and it works great..the problem was that the guy who cut the SIM card trimmed too much of the golden area and when the SIM card is in the slot it used to move so much..so that was what I thought the problem was :)
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
This issue is common even card is full sized. May be older sim issue. New 3g sim is good.
[Galaxy Note II General] pnsdhrn:
Simplistic framework is not available to all roms,particularly the latest ones.Even though the apk is a donated one,the developer is not prompt to adapt his apk to the latest Samsung ROM releases.Whereas Xposed is not a paid one and also it can be used in all the ROMs.That's all.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Simplistic is nice and swiss army knife like features . I have donated version but no more using just bcoz my requirements can also be fulfilled with xposed and i can use it on any available rom that's basic thing I like.
[Galaxy Note II General] pnsdhrn:
Thank you dr.Then I still will have to wait till release of Samsung 4.2 ROM respecting your opinion..Further,besides this swapping memories can we hope the presence of toggli g between 2g&3g in notification bar also?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
I think (Or may be out of idea) it is not possible at presently on stock ROM.

Maximum you can get shortcut by application which may directly brings network setting.

I have read someone have asked you to simplistic mod, but i have doubt simplistic have this type of toggle.

There is application Toggle 2G have your desired function but works on Cynogen only. OR you have to use custom ROM + personal resigning ( i have read it, never tried)
