AT&T Note 2

Wow, thanks for the detailed reply.

I contacted AT&T just to see what they said and I am told my AT&T Note 2 will work in Europe. Is that true? I didn't think it would.

Since it is unlocked, is it just simpler to buy a SIM while I am there?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickav:
Unfortunately, as a European myself, I do not really know which model of the Note 2 you get with AT&T. To clarify, you can always go to the Settings app, scroll to the bottom, select About Device and your model number will tell you if you have the N7100 (international) or N7105 (LTE). Of course, if you have the N7100 you are in the clear and AT&T are absolutely correct in suggesting the phone will work abroad. (For example, my N7100 was bought in India but functions flawlessly in Britain.)

You mentioned that the phone is unlocked and that further leads me to believe that you have the international version although I'd still double check with provider if you are truly unlocked (one way to check is to slot in a microsim of a different network and see if the phone works regardless but that would require another microsim).

If you are wondering if it would be easier/cheaper to buy a sim here, first prioritise what it is that you require your phone for and how long. A good year or so use would warrant a contract sim as you get more minutes, texts, data* for the same amount of money if you were to spend in PAYG or 1 month contracts.

*The vital thing is that you get on the internet and look for sim only deals on the website local to where you will be living. Again, decide what is absolutely essential for you and try matching deals from there. Although I have no idea where in Europe you will be, but Three, T-Mobile, Orange, O2, Vodafone and my Tesco would be a websites to start looking through. This is all assuming AT&T have ridiculous charges for calls/texts made when roaming away from US so sim only deal from local website is the next cheapest option.

PS. At time of typing, it is 01:50. Safe to say I get "chatty" when it's almost 2 hours after midnight and I'm spreading my worthless thoughts about XDA because, heck, no reason not to, that's why. Also I'm alone, sad, lonely, touch myself at night and live in my mother's basement. Or so the internet has led me to think...

I haven't used any of the phones provided by carriers so I may be wrong.

But, i thought any phones given by a carrier can be used all over the world. The only difference between a phone under a carrier (AT&T Note 2) and International version (N7100 ot N7105) is that the carrier phones will be locked only to the respective networks (in this case only AT&T sims will work) and the OS and some other features will be tweaked to suit the carrier better. Correct me if i'm wrong.

So, when you go to Europe you wouldn't be able to use any of the sim of any other network. and you'll be international Roaming if you buy a AT&T Note 2.

Hi,

Currently I am running omega v16 and have the kernel N.E.A.K.

Now I plan on changing my rom to P.A.C but before I do so I plan on formatting internal memory using this method. Which I found in another topic on this forum.

1. Go to CWM Recovery

2. Go to Mount

3.Format sdcard

4. DOne

(will this work?)

After that, I plan on putting my new 64gb memory card in and upgrading to omega 17.

However, I was just wondering is there anything I need to do before hand to be such as flash a stock kernal or anything before changing roms?

Many thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
Branded: applies to international models and will have a carrier-specific firmware loaded and will include carrier loaded apps. Likely locked to a single carrier too.

Locked: only recognises certain carrier sim cards. Unlocked phones can use any carrier simcards.

It doesnt matter where you buy any smartphone nowadays as they most likely support all the different bands that carriers use. I used my Korean note2 with uk simcards and vice versa.

Bring the atnt model and put in a european simcard and voila you're using a european carrier network.

If not unlocked, you can pay a small charge and get it unlocked, at least in the uk you can.

wipe data in recovery?

try flashing a stock rom using odin.

Custom roms include kernels so you don't need to do anything yourself. If you're looking to 'clean' the phone to make it feel new, just wipe data cache dalvik cache in recovery, install your rom of choice and do as you said above, or if that dont work, connect to a pc and format the internal storage option and reboot.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DynamiteAndy:
Thanks :) for the response, I'll give that a go.

EDIT: Now I'm looking for a working app2sd method.. I've came across this reply to a topic..

And I am considering method 3, however on the page it says its not compatible with cm 10, but nothing about cm 10.1 - so am I right to assume its incompatible?

If yes what over methods are available to me besides directory bind.

I am currently running pac 23 rom, kernel redpill 1.52 - My sd card is a 64gb class 10 currently fat32 formatted.

if it turns out you can use stweaks to do this.

How do you go about setting it up?

Hey there. I have just bought a Note 2 with 4.1.2 JB. As everyone knows, I am stricken by short battery life. Is there any solution for unrooted devices ? And there is an update that is waiting, should I upgrade the device ? Does it bring a good battery life ? Or else do I have to root the device for a real solution ? The most what drains the battery is first screen and second Android system.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
The best method I'd suggest is root and an app called greenify. If you want to keep stock, try using betterbatterystats or wakelock detector to check what apps are keeping your phone from sleeping.

Once you identify the apps, you can either just remove them or use greenify with root to take care of them.

I get at least 24hrs with moderate usage, some games and browsing with around 5~6hrs of screen on time.

Thanx for your response mate. I slept and woke up and the battery is still the same. Just Gsm open. 3g, gps etc. was offline. Is this normal ? Some says that when 3g/4g is online, their device only loses %1 battery over the night. Because while my Wi-Fi is opened, my battery intensively decreases.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
Try returning to the previous firmware using odin and see if that sorts the problem.

Yup battery drain is minimal when nothing is running. Wifi is more efficient than 3g or 4g as long as it is connected.

Dear User,

I'm really interested to flash Moonrom custom rom, but not sure what should I do first as to prevent something may cause my phone like losing imie ...etc.

1) Can you help guide me what should be done first before I start to play around with my stock firmware?

2) What would be the simple and safe way to flash CWM and root my phone without encountering binary counter too (using TriangleAway instruction in PhilZ Touch to remove it?) or to use CWM Advanced Edition PhilZ Touch?

3) Provided I decide to use this CWM Advance Philz touch, should I need to root my phone first before nandroid back up and flashing this rom?

4) With SDS issue, should my device be safe Type : VTU00M, FwRev: 0xf7?

My device's current status as follow and running stock without root as it's a new phone I've just bought it.

Finally Made The Switch

After being an iPhone user for the last 3ish years, finally am an Android user now with a Note 2 (SGH-I317M). :good: :victory:

Noticed many custom ROM's available but they seem to be for the GT-N7100 and/or GT-N7105 model.

My understanding is that my model is the same as the GT-N7105 but a different model label because it's a Canadian-released device. I'm comfortable with flashing new ROM's onto my device but want to be certain that if I were to flash a ROM based on the GT-N7105 that it won't brick my device.

Sorry to sound all n00b, but gotta start somewhere!

Cheers :)

1) Have Backups (for example with Titanium Backup)

2.1) download Odin, flash CWM 2.2) you NEED Triangle Away to reset the flash counter

3) no need to root, most custom roms are already rooted

ProBam ROM v. 4.1 Related

Hello Developer,

I'm newly registered to xda but I have been testing up quite some roms from android development here. due to my privileges I'm not authorized to post in the rom section so here I am :) my apologies since I'm a noob for the rules here.

In Probam i found out some errors that I would like to address as the dev wants to know how they could stabilize their roms. I flashed the latest version with full wipe incl cache and dalvik, the problem was during the customization the system ui will fc all the time in phone and phablet dpi but in tablet it would work fine. but the minute i enabled the pie controls the notif bar would disappear and there was no other way making it appear again (tablet mode) because if i switch back to phone or phablet the system ui error will start again :)

I would love to have a rom with 4.2 base on my note without losing some spen functionality which Probam provides the leverage of :) so I'm looking forward to have a fix if it happens.

My sincere apologies if i said or post something wrong.

Thanks,

I've been personally using moon rom since sometime they're very stable. You'd love it :)

Also for prevention I think if u r rooted backup your current rom image through recovery using twrp or phylliz so that in case you can always go back to ur current rom state. :)

Ps - I noticed with phylliz recovery you should back up in external sd not internal as after wipe sometimes it doesn't read d image.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweeny80:
One solution - downloaded zip file of a ROM (stock ROM if that's what you use or custom, whatever is appropriate). Navigate to system/app and copy the flashbar apk. Then paste it in your current ROM (same location) and set correct permissions, install, maybe reboot.

I'm assuming the apk I described is the same one that you accidentally deleted. Check first to see if you actually have the apk in your current ROM. If you do, then hopefully another user can troubleshoot further

I've experienced slight temp. variations myself, but it wasn't extreme difference in fact was subtle. You say it was during normal use ... I think that's a bit unusual. But then gaming typically pushes the cpu/gpu harder than 'normal'. Monitor it, if it continues beyond expectation maybe check with the shop?

No, LTE requires the SOC that is only present on the N7105 LTE variant.

After firmware updates, it is not uncommon for glitches and problems to happen. Reboot it a few times and see if it persists. If it does, then I suggest backing up any files you cherish then go to settings and do a factory reset. That can settle a lot of problems.

unable to root note2 GT N7100.

Hi there,

I am a total noob so pardon me if this seems trivial.

my problem;

I tried rooting with odin on pc (win7 ultimate) with philz touch revovery. The procedure went well and odin showed PASS. But my phone rebooted normally. The guide by dr.ketan said i should enter recovery but i didnt. Then I unchecked Autoreboot in ODIN and tried to root again. And after flashing i kept pressing the power button, again as advised by dr.ketan. But again my phone just booted normally.

Now i checked in download mode and it shows;

custom binary download- yes(2 counts)

current binary; samsung official

system status; official.

And also my device status is Normal. After the first attempt the device status was modified.

I have Note 2 and since few days of usage i noticed tremendous increase in internal storage use. I tried everything, cleaning cache, deleting all downloaded app but usage went increasing on n on...Graphical representation of usage did not correspond to used and free memory. I did a factory reset twice from default recovery n got my free storage back bot times, didnt install any app still again, used memory went on increasing.... so I decided to root the device to know what's using so much of storage.

Finally, i came to know there were 6gb of log files under /data/log/ folder which can't be deleted without root...I deleted all the files as I was rooted n got all the used space, now graphical representation was also correct in settings....

Now, i updated the device firmware to latest n lost root but again facing the same problem...

I know, i can root again n delete all those files n get the space back but i want to know whether it can be done without rooting???
