My bad. .. When he said about s pen I thought of touch wiz roms only.
[Galaxy Note II General] T.G.A:
I think there are no roms with 4.2.2 with touchwiz and spen as Samsung had not officially released.4.2.2. Either settle with cm10.1 or Sammy based roms as mentioned
[Galaxy Note II General] ravijani:
according to sammobile just wait a little longer a month or so...

we are gonna get v4.2.2 with s pen.. :)

if you are not obsessed with CM...

bcoz 4.2.2 is just one of one and half month away.......:laugh::laugh:

Now I have become the official Member of this Family.I have received my Note from ebay today.It is 6months old with 6 month's warranty remaining.It is with 4.1.2 version software now.But when I checked with inputting*#12580*369# the output shows MP1.300.The specifications of the phone in Settings/About phone are as below.

Version : 4.1.2

Baseband : N71000DDDLK6

Kernel : 30.31-1071214

Se.infra2Sep-11731

SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar27 10:33:53 KST 2013

Build No : JZO54K.N7100XXMC3

Is this phone prone to SDS?

Also I have some questions(Sorry,may put it as doubts as it suits) preferably to our dr.ketan.I am also happy to accept if anybody who is authentic is ready to offer help.My questions are

1.Can I flash CWM if I have Prerooted ROM(dr.ketan's)?If yes,does the flashing should be done through PC Odin?And after flashing this CWM can I flash zip files(not custom ROMs) using this CWM?

2.With Prerooted ROM can I install/move apps downloaded from Playstore to SD Card?

3.If I format SD Card with the SD Formatter (using Windows XP)whether the formatting is done in exFat or Fat32?

4.Whether I have to partition my SD Card(Brand new bought from ebay Sandisk Ultra 64 GB Class10) for installing the apps in SD Card?

I will be much thankful to those who may clear these doubts.So waiting with thanks....

Your device likely having sds vulnerable chip but firmware is latest and patched.

Though it came pre flashed, i suggest you to flash yourself with pc odin. As You don't know whether it Was flashed using odin pc/mobile, whether recovery is same or manipulate with other stock. So better do it yourself and flash prerooted rom with pc odin.

1.You can flash cwm irrespective of stock/prerooted rom you have. You have to flash using odin. Yes after having cwm you can flash flashable zip (custom rom or mod whatever)

According your question I guess you just want to flash zip for mods not custom rom, then I recommend to flash such zip with Mobile Odin, as if you have cwm your flash counter will remain 1 even with triangle away.

2 . that features not supporting on Note 2. You can move data to sd card with directory bind or use mod to swap int and ext sd card.

3.window xp by default format in fat32. If you want exfat support on xp look toolbox in my signature.

4.no need.

Thank you very much dear Dr.I am going to flash your PreRooted ROM.Afterwards do I need to perform EFS Backup?But in your thread and tool the procedure described seems somewhat abstract.I can't follow it clearly.Will you elaberate it so that I can do it without mistake.I am a bit confused as to how I can open up the EFS APPLICATION IN pc etc.

My dad uses the note 2 and does quite a bit browsing and facebook on the device.The only qualm he has is that the battery drains out quite fast.

Suggest me the rom having the best battery life, simple ui, wifi and 3g connectivity good without having any force crash issues.I m on the latest stock Indian 4.1.2 jb btw.

[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Yes you need to backup EFS

yes that tool you need to operate from PC, simply download and extract tool, connect device (in normal mode) , check USB debugging on in development option. and run script from PC

If still you find it difficult, then flash Philz recovery (with Philz recovery on device, you can not reset counter so afterward change to stock recovery if you don't neet it) , that have inbuilt option to backup EFS. after taking EFS backup, keep it to safe place like PC/Laptop Or media.

Thank you dr.For flashing PreRooted ROM I downloaded Samsung drivers from your thread and installed in my Windows XP Lap.Then downloaded Odin 3.04 zip from your thread ,unzipped with 7Zip and double clicked on the Odin3.04.exe file.Then a message appeared saying "The application has failed to start because tmax.dil was not found.Reinstalling the application may fix the problem".So I removed the zip from PC and redownloaded and again tried to install.But the same result.Then I downloaded the 3.07zip from your Toolbox,unzipped and double clicked on the exe file.Then a small window box appeared in which written Odin3.ini followed by some Korean letters and an OK box When I clicked the OK, the Odin page flashed and gone.Not installed.So I again dowloaded Odin 3.07 and 3,04 zips from Samsung site and tried to install. But the same result as experienced with your Toolbox version.What to do now.I am frustrated.

BTW I have downloaded and installed EFS apk.If the EFS Backup is done before flashing PreRooted ROM will it be sufficien?Or backing up after flashing is the correct procedure?

I am genuinely sorry for disturbing you again and again.Please bear with me.

And waiting with thanks,

SASIDHARAN.
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Doesn't matter when you take the EFS backup, after flashing a ROM or before, any one will do, there is no difference. Just copy it to your desktop hard drive or upload it to a reliable host, that's all.

[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
you have to keep all files extracted from zip in a same folder. that zip contains Odin.exe

odin.ini and other two dll files.

Thank you dr.And sorry for wasting your some more time.It was my ignorence.And I somehow sorted out the folly.Now I am proceeding with your guidelines.Will let you know the result.

BTW you didn't include your advice in your reply regarding EFS Backup.On getting that also I shall proceed with PreRooting.

With regards,

Sasidharan.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
It is already addressed by [MENTION=4253243]jujuburi[/MENTION] and i am agree with him. You can backup EFS now (provided you have rooted device), or may backup after flashing prerooted ROM.

See, that's unlikely to happen with the note 3 which will have a plastic + glass substrate - the first step towards full plastic, flexible screen expected in less than a year.

Guys,

where can i get bestdeal for flip cover in mumbai ?
[Galaxy Note II General] watsinaname:
Hey guys, just a psa, if you are looking for flip covers, please make sure that you dont buy from the following ebay seller:

http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=181006039119#ht_2817wt_1141

Though he has mentioned that it's original, its actually fake and not even gray color, does not have nfc either. I ordered from him, but now have to file for refund.

[Galaxy Note II General] kaviarasan:
Rs.2000 bet, samsung will bring it within a 4 to 6 months time max. Samsung is the first one to update its devices with latest os unlike lg or htc or even motorola. But motorola will do better now on after getting into google's hand.

For those who are all waiting to buy note 2, pls check out timtara.com. Its available there for 35,200 after coupon discounts. But bear in mind they usually ship in 14 to 21 days.
[Galaxy Note II General] sumeshd:
Cases like flip case which replaces the back cover needs to be with nfc coz nfc chip is based in back cover any other cover or back case dont effect the nfc capabilities
[Galaxy Note II General] j89:
The Capdase doesn't replace your existing cover, it goes on top. But, because you have an additional case on top doesn't make any difference to NFC.

I found far more interesting cases than the official flip cover for far lower on ebay that might be worth a look.

Agreed, the flipcover from Samsung obviously replaces it and therefore needs the antenna.

Hi Friends, I just got a galaxy note 2 for my wife few hours ago and pretty excited.

It feels pretty huge:eek: as compared to s3 and faster and smoother.Best thing is I see no lag in contact opening which I am sick with s3.

I have galaxy s3 and have rooted it and running latest jelly bean DLJ4 unbranded.

Can someone tell me the best way to root it?

Thanks!:)
[Galaxy Note II General] sumeshd:
I have seen all those "cheap" flip cases today at gaffar..they have a horrible quality, are very britle, and the colour or finishing are horrible as well..also worth mentioning that the screen flap does does not properly align with phone and sticks out..

So everyone out there who think that cases available on ebay are the real deal and cheap think before u buy them..

The prices in gaffar ranged from 600 to 1100 and colours were dull like grey, black, white, creamish..

The official flip case has some looks but it's a show off thingy rather than protecting your device. Thought about buying it but now won't! And all other cases will add up with phone size, which will make this dinosaur even bigger! Damb, seems that I'll have to use this one without any case.

Here is a nifty little fix for a desktop stand. I used the strip that comes inside a box of a wrist watch, its thin metal covered with paper/cloth. Holds the Note II very well in horizontal position. It can even be aligned by folding and twisting. In my pictures, I have used a Pantech burst for demonstration.

Good morning everybody!

Finally after a long wait, I finally bought a Note 2 (Titanium Grey). IMEI starts with 3562 and as expected FwRev is 0xf7. But noticed one peculiar thing. eMMC Chip type: VTU00M; Date: 02/1998. Is not this date weird!

Noticed two problems till now: 1. Starting from yesterday evening, the device screen fails to automatically time out at times when screen timeout is set at 30 seconds; 2. The battery seems to be draining fast. 100% in night and when I woke up in morning, 93%. Is it normal?

Thought of performing a factory reset but this wipe all my contents. Any way to save them. I've experience of HTC device previously and there it didn't wipe sdcard while formatting the device. Is it the same in Note 2 also?

dcpathak

Ya it's normal, they don't provide anything other than the shields...

Take care to use only one or two drops of shampoo at max. Use as much less water as you can and paste it precisely so that it could be dried easily, also take extra care to keep everything clean...

[Galaxy Note II General] SacGuru:
As the good Doctor says, I have used this guard. And as amg has already told you, making the solution and application is pretty simple. However, let me warn you to not have any great expectations from the body guards.

The screen and back panel guard are decent enough, protect the body from scratches and dont come off. In fact my back panel guard actually hides a huge scratch I have had on my back panel completely. But the side guards are rubbish, they start coming off within 3-4 weeks. I removed mine in the very first month and am only using the front and back panel guards which are, as I said pretty good.

[Galaxy Note II General] amg009:
Nah you got me wrong. Mix the two drops of shampoo with about 300ml of water and use just enough to cover the shield. Dip your hand in the water use your fingers to spread it..
[Galaxy Note II General] SacGuru:
I actually used a whole tray of water with one drop of shampoo and worked perfectly for me. 2/3 tbs w I th one drop shampoo will be very, very soapy. I think they mention this process in a card they send with the guard....did you get one? If not just mention it I will find my own and send u a photo.

My two days old note 2 keeps the screen on even after lying at the table for long (the screen is not timing out occasionally). Is it serious issue?
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
Nah. One of the third party apps that you've installed is causing this issue. A restart always solves it. At times, going to multi tasking Window and closing all apps that are running plus clearing the RAM also solves the issue. Is Skype installed? It's known to have this issue. Download any apps that could give you an insight of permissions, and check which apps have got WAKE_LOCK permission. One of these apps is causing the issue..

Yesterday, I tried changing the screen timeout to 15 seconds and it worked.

Am scared now as the eMMC Check gave a strange date for my eMMC chip: 02/1998; FwRev is fine: 0xf7 and the IMEI starts with 3562. I bought the mobile from a Samsung Smart Cafe to be on the safe side but am still sacred :confused:
[Galaxy Note II General] kuberchib:
there's nothing wrong with your ph..just turn off the smart stay and check..

it happens with me every now and then when ph is kept on the table/bed facing upwards when smart stay is activated. .might be it basically gets confused with the design or structure on the roof with human eyes and prevents screen timeout

I'm using the latest stock rom. I updated it in the shop itself. Also tested all sensors and other things using *#0*#. Everything worked fine. Dialing *12580*369# gives result RF cal: 2013.3.2; HW rev: MP 1.301. Only eMMC Check is giving a weird date. May be the app developer needs to update it.
