Guys a feature that I enjoyed on my S II was the music player controls on the lock screen. It was very convenient that way. But to my dismay I do not find this feature on my Note II. If you guys know how to enable it please help me.

And one more thing : Though the battery life is good off late I am noticing that the battery is draining a bit fast when its on standby. Like 2-3% in an hour or so. Could this be because of some app ?? Though I do not have many apps installed, just the basic ones.
[Galaxy Note II General] chaitanya87:
Its due to some apps. I think you shoud check your battery stats using gsam battery or better battery stats.

Hi..

On 29th of October, google gave an update for the google now stating that it integrates with gmail...can anybody tell me how to activate this feature??
[Galaxy Note II General] sanusweetsmile:
From where did get the update
[Galaxy Note II General] arnabnaha:
Its already in the google play store
[Galaxy Note II General] Shams Imam:
thanks !!

but what about the music play controls on the lock screen ?? is it missing on the Note II ?? Can't imagine such a nifty feature not there onthe phone !!
[Galaxy Note II General] arnabnaha:
Solved the Google now Gmail Cards issue

Solved the google Now Gmail Cards Issue...You need to change the main language of the phone under Settings->Language and Input-> to English (US). Then it will show up the option to activate the gmail cards...Dont know when it will support the English United Kingdom..

BTW, What is the problem if I change my default device language to English (US)?

Is shopclues a reliable seller like Flipkart?

There's an excellent deal for Galaxy Note 2 on shopclues

but i'm not fully sure what to do.

Has any of you ordered Note 2 from shopclues and received it?

Please advice.

And which color Note 2 do you think looks better - white or grey?
[Galaxy Note II General] sanusweetsmile:
I have used white and grey both and have white one currently ......but I found grey one was very nice

[Galaxy Note II General] srikat:
Yes.

I have ordered from ShopClues on 27th Oct and received my Note II on 31st.

In most reviews they were showing white, so I thought I would take that. But before ordering I went to a Samsung store, looked at both and decided to go with grey. It looks classy.

Hello dr. I want the long sms option.But I cannot see that option in the modules of Tweakbox(either in PHONE or in MISCELLANEOUS).In PHONE the available modules are

Vibrate on Call Wait

Increasing Ringer Volume

Call Recording &

In MISCELLANEOUS available modules are

Turn on screen when unplugging

Long HOME key behaviour &

Skip tracks with volume keys

The other modules are STATUSBAR,CRT EFFECT & BATTERY.No long sms option in them also.So where I can find it?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
There is separate module for long sms.

Well click the plus button on the bottom right end of the tasker interface, select state then from shown dialog box,

you should see a filter written, touch there and enter "task running".

Select that option and see below

You should see like below

Now you can add the triggering hang exit tasks to this profile..

See if this helps..
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Have a small question but the answer should be efficient and unbiased, like Ketan and some.

Sold my Note 2, no not because I didn't like it or anything, just because of that tiny scratch, now I have 27k in hand, is there any other alternatives, really? I like the Lumia 920 tbh, but I have no idea about apps variety on Windows mobile, not that I use a lot of apps, but some are must. Anything? One would be out of my budget with it's initial price point.

My plan was to sell mine and grab another Note 2 actually (as one of my friend is selling one), but maybe the size is irritating me a little. I can add max 3-4k with that amount.
[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
First see that your apps are available in WP store. Use this app for that: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.switchtowp8

Then tell us your requirements, if you use the camera a lot? Or play hardcore games a lot? Etc etc.

Sent from my Note II
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
Honestly, I wouldn't recommend Lumia 920. The last time I tried, it couldn't even disable bloody autorotate IIRC. It's highly unlikely you'll be satisfied coming from android. If not for Note II, pick a decent android mobile phone. Even if you're not a sucker for apps, you'll miss out a lot on WP8. And from what I gather battery life isn't great either - but you should already know that and shouldn't be a problem I'm guessing.

How about HOX+ or something? That should be affordable right? I'm coming from HOX and have tried out HOX+, both are nice phones.
[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
Maybe even the S3, it's gonna be cheaper now. And you could also try to get the Nexus 4.

Sent from my Note II
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
Yeah, S3 is good too - but he hates plastics and prefer his phones to look premium.N4 sounds even better to me - stock android, mostly lag free etc. That said not a fan of the camera at all.
[Galaxy Note II General] emze:
I've used a windows phone quite some time back. Although the UI is quite intuitive and cool initially, it really gets on to you quite fast and you'd want to get rid of the device ASAP.

Speaking of alternatives, an iPhone 4S is one(just for the record) or HTC One X+. Even a Nexus 4 is a very good option and falls within your budget.
[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
Options getting restricted now :p

Sent from my Note II
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
I guess if he doesn't use Camera, Nexus 4 is perfect. The glass back gives it a "premium" feel (I hate metal and glass, but that's just me) that many really like. And obviously don't have to worry about OTA updates + lot of dev support too. Should be a tad cheaper than HOX+ too I'd assume.
[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
Yeah, it's cheaper. Around 25k if I'm not mistaken...

Sent from my Note II
[Galaxy Note II General] emze:
Its about 23 for the 8gb version. 16gb used to cost 30k. Rumors are, nexus 4 will launch in India sometime soon.

Bootloader

Dear dr.

I was going through your Stock ROM Thread from first to last.When I reached about the middle of it something intrigued me.It is the Bootloader issue.Somebody had stated in it that in order to get away from the vulnerable issue you will have to flash a new bootloader besides flashing the latest ROM.My Note is a November make and when I got it, it was in factory made condition and unrooted except being updated to 4.1.2 by OTA.When I brought this matter before you, you advised me to flash your April Prerooted ROM again myself in order to ascertain that foolproof update has been achieved and also to enjoy the benefits of rooting besides escaping from the threat of vulnerability and SDS.So I did it accordingly using PC Odin and now the specifications of the phone are as below.

Version: 4.1.2

Baseband: N71000DDDIK6

Kernel: 30.31-10 7214 se.infra@sep-117#1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 27 10:33:53 KST 2013

Build No: JZ054K.N7100XXMC3

AP: N7100XXDMC3

CP: N7100XXDLK6

CSC: N7100ODDDMD1

RF Cal:2012.9.21

HW Rev:MP1:300

WIFI MAC address: 38:AA:3C:67:19:DJ

eMMc chip: Type: VTC100M

Date: 08/2012

CID: 15010056545630304df1dc8b7ee

FW Rev: oxf1

Device Status: Normal

Now whether my present bootloader is prone to vulnerability and also am I free from SDS?If it is prone to,whether I need to flash only the bootloader from your post#6 in OP using PC Odin?And if doing so whether my counter will raise and also the status will be Modified?BTW I have also installed Mobile Odin for flashing zips and tar files.

Waiting with thanks.....

Dear dr,

I tried to download the apk from Villainrom.But they are asking me to sign up.When I fill up the credntials for signing up they are rejecting saying that my name and email are in their spam register.I tried with my 2 or 3 emails.But they say all of them are in their spam register.So what I can do?Will you kindly post a downloadable version of the apk in this thread?I will be much thankful to you....
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
If you have flashed my prerooted ROM with PC odin

You are safe from SDS as well from exploit vulnerability.

Check your PM.

PS : Remove your IMEI from previous post, it's not advisable to post on any public forum.

[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
My main usage is GPS, then a lot of browsing at home, and some videos and movies. And listening to music. Last time I played games was last year. And yeah I do take some quick snaps now and then, but never prefer any cell for taking any serious photos, the advantage is my cell is always with me, but my DSLR isn't.

Yeah, was reading about different phones almost throughout last night, and saw 920 has that problem. The only things I like about it was the build quality, and design.

Yeah, no more plastic, right.

N4 is okay. I hate stock Android UI though, and especially those virtual buttons, is there any way to disable them? Also it isn't OLED! No SD slot too!

Thanks mate. Actually I have an iPhone 5, so 4S is not needed I guess. And I don't like the One X+ tbh.
[Galaxy Note II General] pnsdhrn:
Got it dr.Very very thanks.Will inform you the result...

Yes.Installed.Lots of thanks once again,dr.
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
Seriously, you've got weigh your priorities here. It seems Note II is ideal for you sans plastic (yay for making the good decision in first place! :p) But the closest next probably might be N4. Lumia has fine looks (still plastic) but that's the only plus point I've seen other than the excellent Camera. I think you can hide it via GMD Gesture control (paid app).

PS: +1 for OLED love BTW :) 920 is LCD though, right? Not a fan of the screen, but that might just be me.
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Yeah, that's right. I have to settle with my priorities. Was reading the review of Nex 4, nah not interested with LCD display I guess. So it's another Note 2, honestly if I tolerate the build quality it's a lovely device.

Just that my mind is killing me to use a smaller phone, especially after seeing the S4. Damn wish I had the impulse to buy it :(

Please participate in the Grand N7100 ROM Survey

Hello everybody, namaste !!!

I'm the OP for the N7100 ROM Survey thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2232765

I'm sure a number of you have already visited it and posted your submissions. In fact, approximately 10% of the submissions are from users in the South Asia region.

I would like to invite all of you to participate in the survey and let your answers provide an clear picture of which ROMs are best in terms of features.

You may submit as many entries as you wish for all the ROMs and Versions you have tried.

I ask for your participation so that all N7100 users can benefit. Let your vote be heard in the entire N7100 community. The results give quantitative measure to all your questions about "Which is the best ROM", just like what you see in the Play Store star ratings for an app.

Your rating will help developers see which items need improving and prioritize, resulting in better ROMs for all of us.

Thank you very much.

Arranging apps in alphabetic order

Is there a way for arranging downloaded applications in alphabetic order in the application drawer of the STOCK 4.1.2 ROM?In CM 10 there is provision for it.

Press settings when in the app drawer, and select sort. Then select alphabetical.

I haven't owned a nexus 4, but I have a nexus 10 so can assure you that you would anyway not be using the stock rom if you buy a nexus device...that beats the whole purpose of a nexus device. Most roms for nexus 4 and 10 are similar, and there are many ways to disable the virtual buttons, such as expanded desktop and pie controls which I am sure exist on many PA based roms even on note 2. However, 4.2.2 itself is quite glitchy, where browsing and especially flash support is concerned.

Lookswise, N4 is definitely better than Note 2 but where software is concerned, I don't think any phone has one over the note 2. And it's not that note 2 is ugly looking either, just a wee bit plasticky and huge.

I have used simplistic earlier, but since long I am fine with xposed (this may be just me), yes simplistic is good and have some extra function compare to xposed, but basically I have gave up just bcoz of rom dependency. Xposed is not depends on rom so i have just select it. For battery icon I have seen one xposed tweak last week, I just forget right now exact name, for torch on lock screen, i am using 'search light' from play Store.

Though you can go with simplistic, but I think paid version is more customizable.
