Mines white and sticker on box says made in Korea
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] apols:
Mine is white and from China. I'm going to be exchanging it for a grey version at some point and am crossing my fingers that it'll be Korean.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cdmoore74:
Made in Korea. Titanium color.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mi7chy:
Grey made in Korea.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FMXP:
Titanium Grey made in Korea.

Is there actually a real difference in phones depending on where they were made?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrlaigle:
As long as the suppliers are the same I can't see there being any difference. I I have one from China and my first was from Korea. The phone didn't recognize the pen being taken out on the first one. See no issues with this one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dawei213:
I think people are implying things made in China are of lower quality than that of Korea. But I agree with you that there shouldn't be any difference. I mean, all Apple products are made in China and Apple hardware is quality stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaoticjerkface:
I had two Galaxy Nexus that were made in China and both phones had malfunctioning radios.

I'm happy to say my Note 2 is made in Korea.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] INCREMENTAL:
Got the Grey and Made in Korea
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rEVOLVE:
You guys do realize that even if your phone has final assembly in a specific country, that doesn't mean all the different little bitty components that make up the whole product are from the same place, right? Even "made in Japan" products have subcomponents sourced from China and other asian countries.

Where the product is made doesn't account for much other than feeding the false security or pride one gets when they read the "made in" label. It's all up to the QC process that's in place.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
I get what you're trying to say and it's 50% true but you cannot deny that the creation of product can differ from one person to another making the same thing. Hell just take a photo of a person and ask two different people to draw it, of course "quality" can change depending on who makes it.

Not saying the Chinese are any less capable of making this phone, I just believe in the fact that Samsung is Korean, they research and develop their components in Korea, why not take comfort in knowing your product was made where it originated? Nothing wrong in it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
Is there any way to tell without the box? I had to exchange mine but I only swapped out phones. I still have my old box.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drum747:
Under the battery.

Mine is Titanium, Korea.

Sent from my rooted SGH-1605
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nutpn:
korea

Mine is Titanium Gray and was built in Korea on November 19, also for those that didnt know - you can go to Samsung USA website and register your new Galaxy Note 2 and after you enter your device id, then right under that id will pop up the date your note 2 was built on, just an interesting bit of info to know.

But the best part of that is Samsung will email you a 50% off coupon code for accessories, very nice..

I just ordered me 2- batteries and covers 50% off for those extra long days at my Daughters Softball Games
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] winlinmac001:
In my experience, it really doesn't matter. i've had go through the following in past

with the s2, the made in korea heated up badly, and blotches on the screen and what not, and had severe color uniformity issues, also had a defective screen the very first day

also had an s2 made in china that had a coin like structure when the screen was at low brightness and light would protrude through the home button; also i would hear a hiss in my audio while playing music whereas the korean one did not have it

when I went to note 1, i had a made in vietnam unit, and vertical and horizontal lines were everywhere when the display was set to lowest brightness; there were also brightness uniformity issues where 3/4 of the screen would be even and the lower 1/4 would be less bright, also phone heated up too much

whereever your phone is made in; in essence it doesn't matter; normally the first batch of phones made by samsung are always made well in my opinion; however, i may be wrong in that aspect as my s2 was from the 1st batch and it sucked

it pretty much is a samsung QC issue in almost every plant throughout Asia. i don't know what is the view like in places like europe and south america where the note 2's are also assembled.

recently there was a tough audit in china in one of the samsung factories; i wonder how QC is living up there.

it really depends on supply and demand which determines the quality control

hope this shined some light
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] zenvita:
Mine was made in the USA at BestBuy. Final assembly done by me. I inserted the battery and sim ALL by myself.

My bother in law has a white GN2 that was made in China. It's the Int'l version. My Quadrant scores beat his by 300 but that's about it as far as quality goes. he has an FM radio and his mult-windows are many more apps than mine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NRA_Bear:
White and made in China.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
All you folks with made in Korea Note II's can you please read this and confirm something for me?

I have a made in China Note II (as does my wife and brother likewise) and we all have a serious issue with our Gallery apps freezing up when we have Wifi on.

I've spoken to some people on other forums and apparently some people have this issue and others don't. I'm trying to rule out all possibilities while I am in a return window. If it comes down to some routers have the issue and others don't, whatever. But if it's a made in China = problem and made in Korea = golden, I am going to be really pissed off.

So please guys anyone with a made in Korea Note II please try this:

- Turn on Wifi and connect to a router

- Open your Gallery app and wait about 10 seconds

- Try to use the S Pen to air view peek into folders

- Click a folder and see if it is slow and laggy

All I need is one person with a made in Korea phone to tell me they are experiencing this issue to settle it. The sooner the better guys, really nervous about this. And I would appreciate someone responding quick.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hyunkoon:
Mine(Made in Korea) works fine with gallery app with WIFI on and S-pen but did u try that under other router than urs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
I haven't tried on a different router yet, no. If I can get one person with a Korean made phone to confirm they too are experiencing the problem then I'd feel a lot better.

For the record my router is a Cisco e4200 on firmware v1.0.0.5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxxxmarkxxx:
I just tried and yes I have lag also. . . And mine is from Korea ... Most likely a system glitch

so far it's good...build quality is pretty good...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jellydroid13:
Guys I would seriously stop worrying about this. Who cares where its made? If it doesn't have problems then don't expect it to just because it was made in china or whatever. It's the person making it that matters not the country.

I have noticed that the controls (volume/play button) don't work on my beats headphones with my note 2. Any fix for this? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Austin3161337:
Yeah thats true you should use an app from the google play store called Klipsch Control then its pretty simple to set it up from there.

Klipsch S4

You can get the older version for $49
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tmb993:
Stock earbuds? Son of a buscuit, I didnt get any of those! :banghead:

Anywho I use SkullCandy FMJs. $80 earbuds but they can be found on Amazon for $30. They match what you said you're looking for and they are all metal to boot. Oh, and they sound pretty good too. Haha.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] drakeymcmb:
It dosnt come with stock headphones lol and
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] icy_virtuoso6:
I have a pair of these and they sound fantastic for the price. However for my ears the fit with any of the included tips is terribly uncomfortable and fall out pretty easily, but I've also never found any in-ear earbuds that actually feel comfortable and stay in anyway so take that for what it's worth. Also I can hear the wires bouncing around pretty badly as I walk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ScooterG:
These don't sound as good, but they will not ever fall out.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaolin95:
I recommend for that price range the MEElectronics SP51 which has 3 different ways of setting it up for bass (Sound Tuning ports).

I have the LG Tone bluetooth stereo headset. They can be use during sport activities or not, sound great, and are under $50 at Amazon.

here a link where you can find detailed reviews of 266 earphones of various price ranges:

http://www.head-fi.org/t/478568/mul...s-compared-rock-it-sounds-r-50-added-11-29-12

Amazon had a Cyber Monday sale on the Klipsh Image X10. At about $85 I think they where a great deal. Keep an eye out for the UE TripleFi 10 to possible go on sale between now and Christmas, they are sometimes at around $100 (or less) around Christmas.

Meelectronics are a good bang for the buck company across their various offerings. I have their M6 model I use when running.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] icy_virtuoso6:
At that price those might just be perfect for dedicated gym headphones! Thanks for the link!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dr. Evo:
I may have the unpopular opinion, but I have to give my good graces and kudos to the new Apple earpods. I have had the old earbuds and now the new pods. The difference is extraordinary. I am hearing clear differences between the two. I don't ever use stock music players with my phones, even though I've found the stock music players in both the Note I and II, are really great. I use third party music players because there's usually much more customization. With the player I use and their enhanced bass settings, plus the new Apple earpods, I am hearing extreme bass and really clear sound in all of my music... sounds I don't recall hearing with the old Apple earbuds.

Also, unlike with the Note I and/or the old Apple earbuds, the new earpods actually work with the Note II as a functioning headset! Found it out by sheer accident. They have never worked with any other Android phone, so I never tried. A friend called me while I was listening to music, and I answered the call before I attempted to disconnect the earpods. That's when I heard my friend talking through the headphones. I said, "Hello" and he heard me... loud and clear according to him. I was super excited! So for only $29.99, you may wanna try these. If you can get em from Best Buy, you can try them out and if you don't like them, you can return them within the window of returns for a full refund. You can't beat the price, especially if you end up liking them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] walie:
I love these threads

I want the BEST earphones, i don't care what they are, I want the BEST....as long as its under $50

The BEST in my opinion? Westone 4R. Aural bliss
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mblakev:
Best headphones money can buy

For around 90 bucks, you can pick up a pair of sure se215's. Just look around you can get them on the cheap, and you will be hard pressed to find a better pair of headphones in this price range. They sound better than the Klipsch s4's but are a little more pricey, and they have a very nice fit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] daveeckert:
I love the sound of the Ultimate Ears Triple.Fi buds. I've tried a bunch, and they are the best I've heard. But, if you're going to be rough on them, expect to buy a new cable every 6 months or so.

Lately, for just walking around and listening to podcasts, I've been using the Plantronics BackbeatGO (they were on sale at BestBuy for $80, you can get them at Amazon for $75 now). Only 4.5 hours of battery at a time, but if that's long enough for you, they are incredibly comfortable and not bad sounding.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ComputerGeek:
My friend bought a Droid DNA with a dead pixel in the screen. I told her that she should exchange it because that it is not normal. She went to the Verizon store and they said that it was not a big enough of a deal so they would not exchange it for the same phone but only exchange it for a different phone with a 35 dollar restocking fee. So she ended up getting a Samsung Note 2 which costs more and has a yellow screen tint issue in which a portion of the screen is yellower. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Oh man that sucks. I mean, there's really nothing she can do except return the phone period. You're only allowed one exchange per phone purchase, so that move to the Note 2 is it.

She can try to return the phone and wait a bit then try to buy a new phone and see what she get's, but that's still going to hit her with another restocking fee :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] th0r615:
I thought they had a 14 return policy no questions asked? She could have just returned her DNA and reactivated her old phone then went to another store and bought another DNA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
There's a restocking fee. But yes you can definitely just return the device, she didn't have to do an exchange. I guess she figured she'd try the other phone instead.

Either way, you use a new phone, you're gonna have to face a restocking fee if you decide it ain't for you for whatever reason.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dch921:
Just call customer service and them warranty replace the phone. I would also complain about the people at the store. We pay enough for these devices and monthly service no reason they shouldn't be 100% when we get them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shinji257:
This is why I check out the phones at the store before I leave.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Muffycheeks:
Another good reason Best Buy is a better option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pgreeny69:
I agree. Best Buy has akways been a good experience for me. No restocking bs and no hassle returns and exchanges.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nero6:
Does best buy price match? Theyre $100 more expensive than VZW right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FUSIBLE:
On Friday they didn't have Titanium gray so I got the white one. Went back yesterday after the titanium was checked into their system. Got the titanium hassle free. Plus I get a $50 credit from Best Buy every time my upgrade comes up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flaring afro:
In the dna forum you said she much prefers the dna (ignoring the screen issue) right? I'd try to return it without the stocking fee saying there was a problem with the dna and she was told she had to switch to the Note and get a dna. I'd go to customer service rather than a salesman, or call verizon online.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pgreeny69:
They always have for me. Usually the match Amazon with no hassles so I would assume they would match VZW.

[Nokia Lumia 920] cwbassist:
920

Hmmmm...hard to imagine. The 920 is being marketed as an ultimate business tool. They certainly have it locked up from every angle. MicroShaft did it on purpose. The ability to attach files is the most basic email tool there is. I did find a temporary solution however, I converted a PDF file to a JPEG file, then hooked up the phone to my laptop, COPY and PASTE the converted file into "SAVED PICTURES" and i can now send the converted PDF in an email attachment successfully via the hotmail or gmail app via the "PHOTOS" folder and you can view it just fine on a desktop or laptop, It will work until I figure something else out. Thanks for the input, keep us posted if you come up with anything! IF IT CAN BE CREATED BY MAN IT CAN BE HACKED BY MAN!!!
[Nokia Lumia 920] brentacula:
Not the best solution, but you can send .PDF files through the office app. Just long press on the document you want to send and then share by email or whatever you want. Unfortunately, you can only send one file at a time which is kind of lame.

As for the file manager...I'm dying for one too.:crying:

Hi guys, if you guys read my other thread, you'd know that i'm facing digitizer issues on my mom's X5. Anyway, I've decided to send it in for warranty and it's now currently running on Aurora. I've made a checklist to downgrade back to stock 2.2.2, posting it up here just to make sure if my steps are correct as it had been months since i've done mods to my mom's X5 so my memory ain't the best.

1. Downgrade to 2.2.2 by copying the b138 zip file into the root of the INTERNAL memory

2. After downgrading, enter CWM and perform full data wipe

3. boot into custom recovery, restore my previous NANDROID backup

4. enter pink screen and restore my boot.img and recovery.img backup i've made previously.

Anything else I've missed? Thanks!
