I got Firmware update notification on 21-Dec afternoon, but since I couldn't download it at that time, I delayed it. Since that night, till now, I had been getting the error "Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request. Try later.". I had been frequently re-trying, and today finally the download started. Not only did it complete properly, it also updated the firmware without any problem. I did OTA and didn't use Kies / Odin.

Spigen screen protector

@sids911

Hey can i know where ll u be getting spigen screen protector in india ?..
[Galaxy Note II General] sids911:
Well I dont think you can buy them in India. Not a lot of people here like spending Rs.1000 on a screen protector it seems.

I order it from their ebay store.

Spigen SGP is one of the best out there. On my SGS3 I had the curved crystal screen protector and no one could guess I had a screen protector on. And the optics of the SGP are literally unmatched if you go with their ultra crystal or ultra oleophobic ones.

[Galaxy Note II General] scorpio85:
I had xperia and s2 before this monster. I had rooted it and used to try lot of ROMs, MIUI being the fav. But this mobile is so fast with so many options with the stock itself that I'm not feeling that urge to root and try custom ROM.

So I'm still in a dilemma to root :(
[Galaxy Note II General] amg009:
Ya this is a very fluid and fast device with extensive options with stock itself, but I will suggest you to root because many wonderful apps don't work without root and I don't think there is a need for custom ROMs as we have the Xposed framework and did you check out the CSC tricks...?

You can try custom kernels for better tuning...

Download any CWM recovery you want to flash from android original section.

If it is in tar you can flash using PC/Mobile Odin

If it is in flashable zip, flash using Mobile Odin.

Anybody with "nearby devices" app backup?

Guys, i am on latest official JB 4.1.2 (India XXDLL4) rom rooted via exynos abuse method. Somehow, stupidly i managed to uninstall the nearby devices app (before backing it up). So, if anybody on the same build could share a titanium backup of this app, it would save me a lot of time n trouble of re flashing from scratch :D. Thanks!

[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
I am using grey.

Note2 becomes little bucky, difficult to operate single hand. Though best to protect screen when you dont want to use screen protector

You can manage to get it around Rs 1200 from retail shop.(eshop may be 1500-1600).

Am on stock 4.1.2 with root .
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Have you tried directory bind?

You can move all data folder to extract sd card. Though application still remain in internal sd card, but usually game data, navigation maps are occupying most data, that you can move to ext sd card and keep phone memory reasonably free.
[Galaxy Note II General] naveenvijay:
I think GL to SD app on play store also does the same.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
That will only move game loft data isn't.?

Directory bind can move any folder you have on internal sd to ext sd.

Many folder like sygic navigation also have data more than 1gb can be moved with directory bind.

Basically I have not issue with space, I have data about 5gb on internal memory that I have no issue regarding space. But note2 have issue, when you factory reset device it erases internal sd card data too, and I have to backup it every time. Directory bind also solve this.
[Galaxy Note II General] naveenvijay:
Ok, Thanks.

For note2 set path in preferences like this

Default Data path

/storage/extSdCard/

Default Target path

/sdcard/

Then it should work fine

Was using a Grey Samsung flip cover for the last couple of months, but the inner surface was starting to peel off so ordered a new case.

http://www.ebay.in/itm/Amzer-Samsun...?pt=IN_Mobile_Accessories&hash=item4d07e62d82

It just arrived today, and I love it. Feels VERY strong, doesn't add much extra thickness and looks good. Two levels of protection, one silicon and the other plastic. It has a kickstand, and I have read reviews of people who say that the stand breaks in a week or so but lets see. For now it's perfect.

And I believe it's not a fail proof apk. Has some issues. I better wait for better one which roots and also has stock firmware intact to get OTA updates.
[Galaxy Note II General] deohrishikesh7:
Exynos exploit app is easiest way. It roots with 4.1.2 and although I have 4.1.2 already can't say anything abt ota updates onwards.

Only issue it causes is camera it will still take pictures but can't see what's in frame. You can make it operational with one click. I was avoiding to root and just recently i did root keeping stock firmware. Used triangle away to reset flash counter.

Have any of you had problems with brightness on the phones. I have seen a couple of demo units whose brightness was definitely quite mediocre, a bit lower than the Note.

I am on the fence about buying the Note 2 and this is one of the factors which worries me.

Also I would like to know of your experiences with exchanging defective units. Say you buy it at the store and find a defect. Will they exchange it for another piece at the store itself or do you have to go through Samsung?

[Galaxy Note II General] Strategist:
Yeah the good units have fantastic screens but I am worried about getting a dud. It's not that the bad screens have terrible brightness just mediocre. That's why I am also worried about the exchange policy if the unit doesn't have a great screen.

It was already a month now and paisa pay wasnt ready to register my complaint and the seller just kept telling me they have informed paisa pay to pay be back...The only reason i lucked out was because i had not left a feedback for them till then when it was more then a month i left 2 amazing negative feedback :cowboy: the very same night I got a call from the seller he deposited the money the very same night as well lol and asked me to retract my negative review my posting Remove Feedback hahaha bite me no chance in hell thats gonna happen they even ended up sending me a complimentary screen protector lol but they deserve the negative feedback and banning of their account...
