Did you give the 1 tb hdd some external power via usb hub or an extra power cable...? Pls clarify. .....

Maybe the 500gb gets enough power from the beast...;)

Btw how's the drain whenn hdd connected...?

And also which manufacturer's hdd are you using....?

Not really. The one which I had and which I used on s2 and s3 didnt work on note2, the connection used to be loose
[Galaxy Note II General] SacGuru:
But I think if the seller has mentioned on his ebay page that the otg cable specifically works on note 2, as it is in the link provided here in the earlier posts, it should work, right? 670-90=580 :D

1TB seagate expansion portable drive was connected without usb hub, , connected directly to otg.

500 GB in same configuration from same manufacturer was working good.

The otg which I had was extremely short just like a small pencil... so it was very loose. The new one has a long wire so it doesnt come out

I'm loving my note 2 after coming from S2 to Apple to Phablet. Quite big but getting used to it. Got standard white flip case from Samsung estore. Taking the phone to ears looks a bit yacky, but just going by trend :).

I was always rooting while I used S2. But nowadays these doesn't makes much difference to me. How is this root? What are its benefits? The only advantage what I think is, I can use my ad removable app again if rooted.

Is it just a rooting app or gives 4.2 JB too?

Here is my phone screen shot ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] benzmar:
I just downloaded the root apk. Believe me, it's amazing. It's wow! Good job dev. I remember those days I have to go to PC and root through ODIN. This is amazing. Rooted my phone on the go. Got SU installed, and now I use my ad remover app. Works like a charm.

I prefer using my inexpensive belt holster protect my phone and act as the most flexible desktop dock. That's the only thing you need as an additional accessory. It also protects your phone from bending/warping inside the pocket and can be clipped even on top of boxer shorts!

I have a duplicate flip cover, soft TPU case, a faux leather pouch and a screen protector. Let me know if someone is interested to get these.
[Galaxy Note II General] nidhish91:
My mobile store friend sent me a screen guard, silicon casing and a flip cover..saved my money lol...planning to root the phone asap.

Btw I checked samsung india site and they have the desktop dock. Is it good?
[Galaxy Note II General] Prankey:
Check the compatibility with flip cover. I find them of little use as compared to a belt cover which really protect the phone instead of simply covering the screen which is the least scratch prone component in a high end Samsung phone. I hardly see the screen scratching and its a non issue as compared to Tony scratches on the metallic rim and back which is completely exposed on a flip cover. Remember belt holster will give you most flexible option for a desktop stand.

OTA update 4.1.2

Just received an update notification for 4.1.2 . OTA download of 262.88 mb in progress right now! Will keep u guys posted if i find anything new that hasn't been mentioned.

P.S: unable to update, shoddy samsung service, i guess! After downloading the OTA update package, selected install all, phone just rebooted with an error message which was something like.. failed to update, use pc kies to update/ contact samsung service.. then i did a factory reset with cache partition wipe, tried updating via kies thrice, but the sh**ty kies downloads firmware upgrade components to 100% and then the "Failed to run firmware upgrade, Unknown error occurred"! WTF? So, flashing via Odin is the only option left for me, i guess! Btw, i'm on stock 4.1.1 JB, never rooted and no custom FW installed.

4.1.2 new features

1. After pulling the notification down. The top most clock font has been changed it looks weird with a gap... but almost black status bar :)

2. Keyboard is even more accurate on predictions.

3. When calling someone you'll see a 3 dots connection next to the dailing text

4. Toggles, group cast and ink effect (no surprises there)

5. You can now choose the use of volume keys in photos either zoom or camera key.

6. S Note,gallery,battery and speed improvements.

7. Cursor control ( Keyboard-settings-cursor control).. you can move between the words you typed by simply swiping the keyword.

*Note* selecting cursor control will deactivate the continuous input feature..

8. Long clicking the toggles in the notification drawer.. you can directly go to that toggles setting

For example long pressing the wifi toggle it will quickly access the wifi settings
