Lol, Dont buy sony products ever...

I bought xperia z after note 2, trust me, I got borred in 2 days, and 15 days was days of big struggle, hard to spend...

And double struggle on selling time,

Man! When I was going to sell my xperia z 10 days used,its value of 24k,

I was gone mad.. I sold my s3 8 month used at 20k.. and 10 days used value for xperia z only for 24k??? Damn..

And about build quality on sony xperia z is better... I said only build quality..

Overall performance wise not smoothly...but responsive...

I like samsung phone because there ia freedom.. like I hadnt in xperia z.. I mean I spawned at simple clock widget on 1 home screen and 1 google search widget.. just... and u know the transmission effect was feeling like micromax phones..

I am using s4 and have freedom of all.. its never lag.. my homescreens are full of widgets and no lag..

First impressions is "how device looks"

And main expression after it is "how it feels not in hands also in operating"

And its zero.

I will suggest you to go for samsung galaxy s4... or wait for Note 3...

Charging takes a lot of time while connected to WIFI...

Hi,

Can anyone say why does my phone takes a lot of time to full charge while connected to wifi, if not connected to wifi..then takes around 2 hrs to full charge, while if its connected to wifi, it takes more than 3 hrs to full charge.....my phone runs on stock XXDMC3 rom......

The same thing also happens for my galaxy s2 i9100....

what is the reason behind it???
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
Because wifi drains battery? Just a thought. :rolleyes:

It'd charge even slowly if you use it while charging. Isn't it obvious?
[Galaxy Note II General] cyrax2013:
it drains charge at such a rapid rate ???!!!!!!.......that it takes more than 3:30 hrs to full charge....
[Galaxy Note II General] cellfrens:
need suggestions!

a lil bit off topic...my note 2 was stolen..now im confused..should i wait for note 3 or buy s4? :confused:

also, i love the spen features..i have lots of .snb files(snote) saved in Google drive which are now not usable..can i open .snb files in gs4?

any idea if Samsung is going to reveal the note 3 on the 20th June event?
[Galaxy Note II General] justkiddinghere:

[Galaxy Note II General] cellfrens:
yes. but note 2 started arriving probably on the first week of october 2012..if Samsung maintains the same timings..note 3 is still 4 months away..:(
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
Depends on what you have - you have sync enabled right? And do you use touchwiz based ROM or AOSP?
[Galaxy Note II General] cyrax2013:
yeah sync is just enabled for gmail.....and i use tw based stock XXDMC3 ROM...
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
Yeah it is possible. Even if the drain is small, phone's still not on deep sleep since sync's going on. So I guess that's to be expected. I haven't precisely monitored the time or anything, since I just plug it in overnight if necessary.

Bad news for me: my new Samsung 64gb micro sd card isn't being recognised either in my N2 or pc. This one's from UK so not sure if local Sammy will replace it under warranty. Ironically the case says 10 year warranty. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Note II General] omkarpatil:
Hi shethsa, I had the same problem.. Sammy Took one month to replace.. But I bought the card in Germany and got it replaced from here.. They didn't ask me any bill.. Just checked if the card was really genuine..

The card gives problems with custom Roms or recoveries. I formatted the card in cwm and it wasn't recognised anywhere. You could try formatting it in twrp. Also try sdxc formatter. It is the official tool for sdxc standard.

With a try I would say..

Sent from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II General] shethsa:
Thx. Problem it's not Recognizing in the pc or phone

Btw, if you're in mumbai where did you go for your replacement?
[Galaxy Note II General] omkarpatil:
No m in Germany. Had to send the card to Samsung by post. Check Samsung India website for more details on warranty. There will be a customer care call center number. Call them they should guide u. Did u try to check if the card gets recognised in recoveries? There is a file browser in the new recoveries.. Try all recoveries cwm, twrp, phillz, etc.. Sometimes it let's u mount the card then u could connect ur phone to pc and retrieve data.

Search for terms like MBR recovery on Google for more Infos.

Also there was a post recently on xda portal on what to try when ur memory card starts misbehaving..

Did Samsung tell you that there'd be an update in June? Or, was it the normal Internet forum conjecture and rumour mongering that got to ya?. :laugh:
[Galaxy Note II General] pnsdhrn:
I am about to loose my patience now.I am have been waiting for this 4.2 stock release since April only because of the reason that I don't want to miss the S Pen features.But it seems that the wait is an indefinite process.Today I saw in xda that CM has released the latest 4.2.2 ROM for Note II.It is true that official CM ROM is very clean and devoid of unnecessary bloatware bulkage in the TWiz.If Spen utility can be incorporated in the ROM it would have been a tremendous feet.Today I also saw a new apk "CM S PEN Add o (Root) in Playstore.The link for that is furnished herewith.Have anyone tried this apk together with CM10 ROM? If it's function is more or less the same as stock S Pen I intend to go for this latest ROM leaving behind the indefinite wait.Is my decision is a sane one?

[Galaxy Note II General] Sharp-Razr:
Rant over?

I have used Cm 10 4.2.2 and Carbon. Both are buggy as hell and as you are aware do not support S Pen. They also have bad battery life. That said I really appreciate the work done by the CM and Carbon team. Unfortunately Sammy doesn't share all code with them and dev ROMs have some missing features present in Sammy ROMs.

TW may be a bit slow but Samsung ROMs are far more stable with great battery life (upto 2 days). These matter more to me than the latest and greatest dev release.

Your choice now.
[Galaxy Note II General] emze:
I am currently using cm 10.1 the latest build. Its quite stable and I get a decent battery life. Although not as good as stock tw. Regarding s pen. Its not and will not be incorporated on cm ROMs as it requires tw framework. Never the less, a great and fast ROM. Considering the fact that 4.2 is not yet out for this device.
[Galaxy Note II General] Sharp-Razr:
What do you mean by quite stable? In the 8-9 months since I purchased the phone it has crashed and rebooted thrice. Of the 3 occasions the first was probably my fault as the phone was new and I may have had my finger on the power button. :laugh:. The phone has gone for 2 weeks without rebooting. It would have gone longer had it not required a reboot for installing a CWM recovery. Haven't tested a >2 week period yet. The CM and Carbon ROMS OTOH had random freezes during or after a call.

Stability & Speed is to me the MOST important attribute of any Operating System - be it on a mobile phone, PC or a server (I am from IT). Battery life comes a close 3rd. My Note 2 has gone for up to 2 days without a charge.

CM & Carbon lose out on the 1st parameter and gain on the 2nd, and drop precipitously when it comes to battery life. If I had to choose 2 of the 3 parameters it would be stability & battery life - because I positively HATE crashes and/or random reboots when I am using the phone and I don't like carrying a charger with me all the time.

Waiting for TW to respond a fraction of a second longer with the stock dialler is no problem.

I am not so hung up about the S Pen feature coz I hardly use it. May give CM 10.1 another try some day just out of curiosity.

Ergo, Sammy's 412 ROM wins on 2 out of 3 counts.

I am NO hurry to use a half baked 4.2.2. Willing wait to for a stable release. So folks clamouring for 4.2.2 update - just cool your jets and let the devs do a good job on the OS. Trust me you will SCREAM murder if an OS update is unstable or kills the battery.

[Galaxy Note II General] lifehijack:
No you wont.
[Galaxy Note II General] emze:
Ah. Maybe the older builds were quite bad. For me, I haven't experienced a single reboot or a hanging device yet. I really do find it stable too.. Being a doctor.. I haven't really put the phone through gruesome testing like what you might have done. But with what I have used, I'm happy. I find the 10.1 a daily driver.

there was a new rom released for european notes based on the 4.1.2 rom. in older samsung devices, i have installed non-indian versions of firmware. can we do teh same with this phone also? will i face any issue?

Nope, you can flash any Rom you want, unless the Rom is meant for any particular networks like AT&T, 3 and all.

But I suggest use the Indian Modem.
[Galaxy Note II General] mufaddalezzi:
Well mine didn't break..my note 2 fell when i was riding a bike and it was without case when it dropped on tarmac it was bouncing like a ball i was shocked and unhappy for a moment..but when i picked it up there was only a small scratch on the bezel and no damage on the screen i was so happy at that time Feel sorry for you but if you had OTG or Otterbox case you would be safe with that kind of falls..:)

right... but the latest release was supposed to be good on the battery.

[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
I will update today, to ME6 ARHD. I've heard that it fixed the battery drain on 4.1.2, but no way I'll confirm it until I see it by myself, give me 3 to 4 days. I'll post feedback here.

And about Google Music, no idea, I've always deleted that crap.

Had a really bad/lucky experience today. Was driving with my note 2 lying on top of a bag on the front passenger seat...and saw a friend so stopped to give him a lift. I quickly picked up my bag and threw it to the back seat when he opened the door to climb in, didn't remember at all that tge phone was on the top. Had already closed the door and drove around a 100 m when a guy came running behind screaming... when I had picked the bag the phone had flown out of the open door :(. Thankfully that nice guy on the street saw it and ran behind to return it! But the phone had struck the road pretty bad, there are scrathes on two edges. Moreover, what I dint realize at that time was that the spen was missing, and drove off.

I know I have been kinda lucky that the screen did not break and that great guy on the road gave me my phone back - if it wasn't for him I wouldnt have realized what had happened. But I have lost the s pen :( :(.

I probably have to buy a new one, does anybody know a link of a trusted source? There is nothing on samsung India, and I found a couple of links on ebay but some of them are OEMs. If you have any idea of where to get a new one, please reply...

Sent from my GT-N7100 or the Nexus 10, heaven knows.

[MENTION=4998384]SacGuru[/MENTION]: That's both bad and good story dude, more good than bad I'd say. Screen is intact, that all matters.

Basically very very noob(silly) question!

My GT-N7100 (INDIA) is rooted with Prerooted Stock ROM(April India -4.1.2 N7100XXDMC3 , Baseband N7100XXDMC3 , Stock Kernel and Stock Recovery.After rooting with prerooted rom I had never tried to enter the recovery.Now I installed RomToolBox Pro and using it's Rebooter option tried to enter into recovery by clicking 'Reboot Recvery' option in it's Menu.The phone went off ,but the Recovery was not opened.When I long pressed the power button the phone booted to lock screen after undergoing the normal boot animation.Then I switched it off and pressed Power button,Volume Down and Home buttons simultaneously till the Warning screen came.Then I pressed Volume Up button and the Green Android screen came in which binary,status etc were shown and saying Download mode.Here I became stuck up.I don't know what is the next step to go to recovery.Also I don't know to come out of this screen.So I pulled the battery out.After reinserting it and pressing the power button the phone normally booted to the lock screen.So my request is to please narrate the actual procedure for going into recovery and coming out of it.Also what is the reason for not going into recovery when I used the option in RomToolBox.When I was using Motorola Milestone with CM10 I used to go to recovery using this option in RTB.

However waiting for kind advice with thanks...
[Galaxy Note II General] Ram121:
[MENTION=3206617]pnsdhrn[/MENTION] when you hold volume down, power and menu key simultaneously device goes to download mode and to come out of it you have to keep pressing power button so the device will boot normally

To go into recovery you have to keep holding volume up, power and menu button

Thanks Doc.Just one more question:

I had rooted using CF Auto Root, flashed TWRP recovery via ODIN and installed CM 10.1.

I want to go back to stock ROM.

Should I install the stock ROM>root again using CF Auto Root>Use Triangle Away to remove the triangle and revert to "Normal" system status and then flash the stock ROM again?

Or is there a simpler procedure?

Thanks,

Dinesh
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Simply install my prerooted rom, that is nothing but just stock rom +cf auto root but without raising flash counter

-flash prerooted

-use triangle away

-keep using rooted/simply unroot from supersu setting

It is that simple

Samsung Memo

CNET has brought out a coupe that Samsung is going to release a mini clone of Note II in the name Galaxy Memo immediately It is smaller than our Note II with a screen size of 4.5 and with all Note II features including S Pen except a smaller battery and smaller RAM.But the important thing we have to note that is coming with Android 4.3 Firm Ware.If this comes out to be true,whether we will have a chance to get official 4.3 to us also?Or else will we be able to get a hacked version of this for our Note instead of waiting for developing breast for the cockerel?
