[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cnmservad:
1st off, charge it fully kill it completely, do this about 3 times to deep cycle the battery, then charge however you feel like it... 2nd, I'm on mine constantly on fb, xda, texting, maps and all sorts of other things and I get about 20 + hrs on a full charge, but I have all my location stuff and sync turned off... 3rd, I've dropped mine and it's slid all over the place and my camera glass is perfect, the back has a good enough lip to keep the glass from touching surfaces... 4th, the front screen is amazingly durable... 5th, to see all your phones internal files, you can use the stock "my files" app or download astro file manager... 6th, unless you plan on modifying the phone like with custom roms or anything, there's no need to root... 7th, when you plug the phone into your computer, make sure it says device installed on the computer, if it doesn't, just use kies or google to download the drivers for the phone, make sure USB debugging is on and it should connect as a USB storage device, then you can open the phone under computer and view all you files, here you can open the file called system and drag and drop files back and forth all day... or you can download and setup an account on dropbox on your computer and your phone... if you have something on your computer that you want on your phone, just often dropbox website and drop it in a folder there, when it uploads, open dropbox on your phone, go to that folder and download it to your phone, you can do this from your phone to your computer too... if you have dropbox set to sync on your phone and computer, it will automatically add any new files to dropbox... all of this I told did not require root... the battery life thing also depends on what settings you have enabled on your phone, the color of the background you choose and how often the screen is on... typically about 24hrs is normal under normal issues and settings

Oh yeah, the spen... that bubble point is called air view, it will often a bubble if you Hoover over links and certain stuff and it can scroll pages without touching the screen... you can disable that in spen settings as it can cause unwanted scrolling and selecting from time to time... I believe the spen is magic lol... I love it, it makes taking screenshots a breeze... hold the button on the spen and hold it on the seen until it flashes, there will be an edit bar at the top, you can draw on the screenshot with the spen, you can use the next icon over to stretch a box around a specific option of the screen to save rather than the entire screen and a few other options... another method to taking a screenshot is to hold the home and power buttons together until it flashes, but that's not editable unless you use another app to edit or open that screenshot in gallery and use the spen to take a screenshot of it... just play around with it, you love it, not to mention it won't take you long to figure the phone out, sending is pretty user friendly... I've had phones by pretty much every manufacturer and other than Samsung, my favorite is Motorola... I've had my note 2 since Feb 12th and I'm absolutely in love with it and have installed several custom roms and modified a few apps, even themed an app, but I'm a tech junkie and always want to push things to the limit... anywhoo, enjoy and welcome to the Samsung family, more specifically, the galaxy note 2 family...

Sorry about the typos, add you can see, autocorrect is kind of dumb on the note 2, the worst autocorrect I've ever had... I was saying in the last post that Samsung is user friendly, sorry about that...

pit your SD card in your computer, transfer all files to your desktop, right click on card, click format, under type, click fat32, under allocation size, click default, click quick forget, copy your files back to the card, shut phone down and reinsert in the phone, then turn phone back on... if is still not working, try the format thing again, only this time under allocation click 32kbs, format and try again... by formatting to fat32 the phone will automatically change it to what it needs upon reboot... hope this helps...
