Have you Replaced Note II Battery.......?!?

Hi fellow note II owners,

i got my note II 1st day 1st show, so almost 3 yrs now. currently running Android 4.3

i'm a heavy user and have to charge at least 2 to 3 times a day. has charging it many times over the last 3 years reduced the battery's capacity ?

Off late the battery life has become very very bad. Should i replace the battery ?

Has anyone replaced their Note II battery ?

Thanks,

Rana.
[Galaxy Note II General] takerhbk:
I did but I got the genuine battery from ebay for around 450₹. It is not very good but decent Backup. Original costs around 1100 I believe.
[Galaxy Note II General] rana_kirti:
the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped

Guys,

My note 2 on 4.3 has been showing various errors since last 1 month...

1. It started with some processes not working. Click on ok and it goes away only to come back repeatedly.

2. I did a factory reset and everything was ok. Then after a week again the same thing. Then got stuck on boot screen and then after next factory reset it got stuck on upgrading apps screen over and over again.

3. Currently after working fine for a week it keeps giving me unfortunately process.gapps has stopped.

Anyone went through same or has an idea of whats going on and what is causing these errors.

How can I resolve this ?

Thanks,

Rana.

Even factory reset is not working.

also helps to play some games using the xbox controllers, can occasionally sit in the living room and browse the net to irritate my brother;):p

Hi guys...kinda new to xda, so am not sure whether this is the right forum for my question, kindly do direct me to the right one if not, apologies in adcance.

Now, what I want to know is that whether my note 2 can be charged using ANY data cable or do I have to buy a certain specific one? The thing is, I have a Belkin one amp car charger which works with my original data cable provided with my note 2, but I was looking to buy a secondary cheap data cable just for the car, and avoid taking the original one on a ride with me anytime I step out just in case, lazy that I am :p

Thanks in advance to anyone who answers...

[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
I won't recommend a cheap cable. You can always use your 1 amp charger, it'll charge, but it'll take way more longer than the stock cable.

Go to eBay, and try to find 2 amp cables, latest iPad cables are 2 amp and will fit your Note 2.

Okay, I am really interested in first getting a 64 gb micro sd, and then rooting my phone to use the 64 gb as my internal memory. However, I have never rooted any android before. I have read around and realized that there is a danger of bricking my phone and voiding the warranty, which essentially means that I will have to pay for the repairs.

Can anybody who has rooted his note 2 elaborate how big this danger is? I mean, is there a way (an easy one) of unbricking your note 2 if bricked and unroot it to use the warranty again? I have always jailbroken all my devices (psp, iphone - yes I was a stupid one, blackberry etc) myself so am fairly certain that I can do it, but I do need to know if an unbricked note 2 can be made usable again.

Also if anyone knows a cheap micro sd retailer online, do share the name. The cheapest I can see is 3300+ on ebay. In Delhi, hardly any shop is selling it under 3600(nehru place). Kindly do share the price too.

Thanks in advance if anyone replies...

How to check if note 2 supports ntfs.

It would be great if the note 2 can support usb otg on my seagate portable drive.
[Galaxy Note II General] SacGuru:
Hi,

I am pretty sure that the note 2 only supports micro sd cards which are in ex-fat or fat32 formats. Going by the same logic, though I am not sure about this part, only those memory devices which are in fat32 or ex-fat format would be supported.

Of course, I might be completely wrong about this. But micro sd cards, definately NTFS are not supported.

You need custom Kernels .. to recognise ntfs on note 2.. still you also need externally powered hard drive to work

Ssup guys. Rooted and running the red pill kernel. The scoobydoo (voodoo) sound mod is reason alone to flash this kernel. Additional battery life is an added bonus. As smooth as butter. And if you're worried about tripping your flash counter.. Don't be.. The kernel supports triangle away.. So you can reset the count even without having to reboot the device. :)

[Galaxy Note II General] raymasky:
The Note 2 will not detect EXTERNAL HDDs coz the power supplied by it is too less to drive the external HDD. So you'll need to plug the HDD into a USB hub which is powered by an external power source and then connect that hub to the Note 2 and see if it works. No guarantee that it will work but it's worth a shot.
[Galaxy Note II General] :
I bought otg cable for 200rs and tried mounting portable 1TB hard diskbut didn't work but 500GB works as I said. There is no use of formatting 1TB to fat 32 which some one mentioned in some tutorial.

It didn't require USB hub.

For the past 2 days I been trying to mount 1TB to note 2 even tried formatting it to fat 32 which took whole night and failed in the morning.

Now I am happy that 500GB works and returned the 1TB and got 500GB from retail shop. :)

Everything is working as expected from note 2 which is a power packed phone. Even 1080p video from external HardDisk works flawlessly.
