well as per me, the tpu case will spoil the show of the note2.

the grey has such a shinny and elegant backside..it will be totally ruined by this tpu cover.

moreover the back is not prone to scratches

Has someone bought the flip cover from estore its available now ...reviews pls ...specially is it nfc compatible as the internationally available flip covers are
[Galaxy Note II General] manish21nov:
I would not suggest u to buy flip cover cause it really annoys if its not folded back and if it is then it just peels off in few days.....my experience ...just a suggestion dear

Not sure if it's common wisdom..but the fone allows us to disable a good amount of the Samsung crapware that it has loaded on the fone. Like Samsung apps, chat on and stuff. On and off, these might run and consume memory/battery etc. So better if we disable them.

Jst sharing what I found, maybe ppl already do it. Maybe it's helpful, maybe not. No harm in doing it though.

On a different note, have been using a leather-ish pouch of the note 1 I got from one of my friends. And I think that the best way of protecting this thing. SG might spoil the awesome screen, flips are so ****ing inconvenient, jst keep it away in the pouch when not using for longer durations. Else use it naked. :P

I have bought a LCD SG from HK. Will get it in abt 2 days. Will let u know my review after that.

I have bought the below cover for the reasons similar to u.

The only complaint that i have so far is that we can't install or move apps to sd card. I mean wth..why do these manufacturers jst screw up in one thing or the other. For once make a perfect device.

One thing I know for sure is that it's not a JB restriction..coz i had been using aosp jb on my SGS1 for quite a while and I used to do that.

With all the games with 1 gb+ sd card data around, how do they expect us to make do in a 10 gb space.

Crap!!

There are so many tutorials here on xda regarding easy ways to root. Under normal circumstances you should be able to update your device. You might loose your root access after an update though. Even an apk was available to root and unroot with ease. I haven't tried it out myself but we can trust the developers here in xda.

Facing a new bug that kinda annoys me. Just wanted to share. My keyboard is now floating over everything else including the dropped down notification bar, screen filter app and even traces made by s pen when drawn on the screen by holding the s pen button. Reason unknown. Rebooted my phone. That didn't help. May be if I clear the keyboard settings, this would get sorted. But will that clear my custom words as well?

I read this forum for note 2 regarding the sudden death syndrome that affected S3 devices and now is starting to affect the note 2,people say its different from the exynos vulnerability bug

Here is how you check it

Download an app called emmc check from the playstore and check the

Type VTUOOM

Frev-0xf1

If that's what it says then supposedly you have this bug, can a developer confirm this please?? Didn't the new kernel updates already fix the bug? Am i vulnerable even if i am on pure stock firmware?
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
Something like INSANE CHIP would also be mentioned when you check that app. If that's the case, you are vulnerable, just like me. From what I know from this thread, Samsung is still trying to fix this issue through a FW update. Yes, even if you are on stock firmware, you are at risk.

I don't know the exact meaning of busybox . In layman terms if you need root then you must get super user access( SU app). For this app to work busy box must be installed.
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
That's working. But is there anything that I can do to set this right? I like stock keyboard better.

《Samsung Galaxy Note II ★ GT-N7100》
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
Okay that isn't working. Something is really wrong. I tried swift key and the keyboard is still floating over notification bar when it's pulled down. Check out the screenshot :(

《Samsung Galaxy Note II ★ GT-N7100》
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Busybox is small Unix tool and is self executing in single file, it can executes more than hundreds command with single executable file on Linux.

Most of applications works with just root without busybox. Some applications like titanium itself having own busybox.

I have read above you have installed busybox, if you have installed from market, I don't recommend that, I have seen many time it mess up device and particularly un installing it so if you have already installed it, just keep it but next time just flash busybox cwm rather than from market.
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Check your installed applications list dude, something is causing this, I mean some app.

[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
I don't think this has got something to do with any apps because I haven't installed anything new since a while. There's another development though.

My friend's note2 is having problems with Wifi connectivity. It doesnt connect to his wifi, gets stuck on Obtaining Ip Address, n it is only successful after 8-10 tries. Once connected, it runs smoothly.

What is the problem?

He took it to samsung care and they said they would need to replace the motherboard. Isnt it too small a problem to change the board entirely?

Does it seems like a software or hardware problem?

Its just 10 days old, so any solutions?

If any knowledgeable person can please comment on this.

Sent my note 2 to the service center since it was freezing very often. Was rooted and on a custom ROM. Flashed the official ROM before giving it there. After 3 days they are now going to change the MB. I hope it comes back with a sane chip. BTW I had sent my wife's S3 after SDS and it came back with 32 GB internal storage.

It happens to many S3 users they have got 32 GB USB storage chip after SDS.

may be Samsung don't have SDS free 16 GB chip that's why they replacing with 32 GB one.

what I could understood from above thread is, you are confused and just need a clean Rom flash(prefer earlier Indian build) and full factory reset.

repeat the process if kies still wont recognize. Some time this can happen.

Make a note that if you are on custom Rom, forget which csc it carries. Just use it as long as you want. It doesn't make any big difference.

if you want to make your device pure stock then clear counter with TA and Flash official Rom with PC Odin.

Full reset with stock recovery is must to erase everything.

let device to boot, set it up accordingly and you are good to go.
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Okay that **** in Kies. Now I get it.

So, you are on latest Indian ROM, i.e- MB2, and everything is stock, you are able to update your device OTA successfully.

If all the above are checked, then you should stop wasting time. Afaik, there is NO solution for that nonsense problem, yet.

So I think you better save your time :)

Screen is very poor on xperia z considering a high end device. Viewing angle is not good also scratches are more visible in less time. Sony added waterproof technology to maintain the sell.

I don't think replacing Note2 with S4 is big updated. But Note 2 lacks development compare to S3 as well as S4.

4.2.1 Rom already leaked for S3. And this happened because of active devs.(faryaab made it possible)

All other software gimmicks from S4 will be available for S3 and Note2 for sure, but it will take some time thanks 2 samsung.

Yes, that's normal. It has a LCD screen. So contrast and vibrant colours will be a no go.

You can have the same screen on our Note 2 too, if you flash Persues kernel and enable Master Sequence :D

Compared experia zl with my note2 side by side. The screen even head on is a bit less dynamic than n2 - but that could be the settings. Not too impressed.

For all the hungama of build quality it actually felt light even though it has glass all over.

The only thing that impressed me was lowlight photos. They have a demo black box and clearly experia took a great snap.

Photo shutter has a slight lag vs n2.

Overall not impressed with experia.
