If it's good carrier insurance, that's one thing, but I've known too many people who've gotten screwed from carrier insurance when they've dropped their phone and try to get it fixed. I've never heard anything but complaints from anyone I know who's ever tried to make a claim.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rhiannon224:
I've never had a problem making a claim, you only get two per year. They don't do repairs just replacement. If you need a repair then you have to go with Samsung.

Had a near heart attack today in the restroom. I went to put the Note 2 on top of the tp holder and it slipped and fell face first on the floor. I had a flip cover on it and the cover opened up. Heard a thud at the same time my heart fell to the floor.

I picked it up and..... nothing! :) Whew.... dodged a bullet that time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
if you get it water damaged you can easily crack the screen and get it repaired right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] eccoodamo:
You have to be crazy to depend on only Samsung to protect your phone. As long as you get the right carrier insurance, it will protect your phone but it can be expense.

In my opinion carrier insurance is a rip off especially when you are paying that much in monthly charge and then you have to fork over 100 - 200 dollars as a deductible. I instead went with

http://www.worthavegroup.com/

and the cost after applying a 15 percent coupon was around $110 for a 2 year coverage paid up front. They will either fix or replace the phone.

"Each policy covers the cell phone for Accidental Damage such as drops and spills as well as Theft, Fire, Flood, Natural Disasters and Lightning Strikes. With a low $50 deductible "

Also, there is no limit on how many claims you can make in a year but if you do abuse it, they may discontinue the policy.

Not so fast, each cell phone should have a water damage indicator that a tech can check. If the water damage indicator shows up for them, then you are screwed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Grant Barker:
That's why it's nice to pay just a tiny bit extra, like $3 for insurance every month, when you take out the contract. If my phone is lost or totaled, I only need to pay about $50 (equivalent in Japan) for a new one. It is peace of mind, for all of us who love our devices.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gaww:
Samsung must be getting lot of these back with broken screens. My repair is on hold due to lack of parts.

it went down face first in sand - but apparently there was a stone that cracked the screen - spider web across the entire screen.

My clicker in my s pen is missing after dropping with otterbox defender. S pen still works though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] csmith1289:
Luckily, I haven't dropped my phone yet. I do have a case on it even though I would prefer not to but I'm too scared I'll mess it up. I should have purchased insurance when I bought the phone but I didn't. Too late now.

C.S.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sahil04:
Samsung received my phone on January 7th, on the 8th it was on hold due to lack of parts and on the 12th I got the email saying that the repair was complete (phone shipped yesterday and I'm getting it tomorrow).

Man I can't wait, I've been using my Vibrant and although it's a good phone I still miss having my Note2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gaww:
Ditto here - it is no the truck for delivery. I am getting a less slippery protective case, as loosing my grip on it while pinching in to take a picture was how I dropped it.

Based on how it landed, the service tech though nothing would have saved the screen, so not dropping it because it is large and slippery is important.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SinisterSincere:
Otterbox Commuter or Defender?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ratlegion:
I'm done with Otterbox. They offer massive protection, but it's all a matter of how much you think you need. I've decided after about 5 years that I really don't need tank armor for my devices. They take away too much sexiness for what they are offering.

For you guys that are standing behind Asurion as their carrier insurance, I have found that they are a huge rip off. I don't know about you guys, but I just don't have time for the run around that I got when trying to get an S3 replaced for my wife. I couldn't even depend on them to use basic language correctly. For instance, the rep I spoke with kept asking whether it was my phone number and I would tell them that it wasn't, that it was a only a line on my account, and they wouldn't help me, but when I got past that, they were supposed to send me documentation by email 3 times, and I never got anything. Lesson learned, I guess.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] GMAN1722:
That's interesting because I never had a problem with assurion. I've had three claims on two lines in the past two years. My wife shattered her Sensation and my daughter shattered her Mytouch 4G two times. The second time they replaced her phone with the Amaze 4G because there weren't any Mytouches left. Now of course she can no longer be insured because it was twice in a two year period. But each time the insurance worked without any hassle or problems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] suhailtheboss:
I've broken mine, and two friends as well within the last week.

Crazy delicate screen. I've never broken a phone before this one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] suhailtheboss:
As soon as I broke it I bought another screen. Didn't realize how ridiculous the process was until today, might just end up filing the claim with insurance

[HTC One V] CurtisAndroid5:
Hello,

I'm getting this device next week and I'll be unlocking the bootloader straight away but the amount of instructions for flashing ROMs is baffling me. In the past It's been a process of install custom recovery then flashing a ROM (full wipe) reboot and job done but there's plenty more steps for this device so can anyone break it down for me because I'm pretty confused especially when it comes to rebooting into another menu to flash a boot.img or something.

Also, I'm thinking of sticking on a Stock Sense (but with bloatware removed and rooted) just to test Sense out before I move back to my comfort zone of CM9/CM10 so how would I go about this? Is there any bloatware free pre-rooted fully working stock Sense roms available?

Finally, there's a load of information about kernels which I'm new to due to never having to worry about flashing them in the past. I'd be happy with sticking to one single kernel (So I don't have to mess about with them every time I flash a new ROM- if that's possible?) so which one is the best for general daily usage, and has over-clocking enabled.

Thanks.
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
There are not additional steps to flash for this device.in fact it is easy. When I was new here at XDA I also was too confused. Flashing a kernel seemed impossible to me.

But I began to read the internet and the forums extensively and slowly learned.

Try ckpv5's my sense v rc2.0 very smooth pre-rooted rom.u can always uninstall the bloatware using Titanium Backup.

Unfortunately as our device is s-on u will have to flash the kernels every time u change a rom unless both of them need the same kernel.

The provision rom feels great for everyday use.use the latest Hellboy kernel that can be OCd plus added KSM support.

[HTC One V] CurtisAndroid5:
Thanks for the replies.

I was also wondering if I'm right in thinking this is the right order (For rooting my device via the Toolkit);

Unlock Bootloader

Flash Recovery

Do a Nandroid just in-case anything buggers up in the future.

Flash a Sense-based Kernel (So I can overclock etc otherwise I could completely skip this step I guess)

Click the 'PermRoot' extra in Toolkit.

Job done.

Does that sound about right? I think I'll just stick with Stock Sense for the first few weeks or so and if I get sick of it I'll move to a custom. I'd be happy with a Rooted stock device though just to get rid of the bloatware and have access to Adaway & Titanium Backup.

Thank you.
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
Yes that order sounds right but if you dont want custom right now and want to remain stock,no need to flash any kernel!just remove the kernel step from the order;)
[HTC One V] CurtisAndroid5:
But I'd need to flash a new kernel in order to over clock (unless the stock kernel is overclockable) or is the devices performance and battery fine with stock levels/governor?

Thanks for the reply
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
Stock kernel is not OCable.tell u what,since u want to remain on stock now,root it and remain on stock for now.then after u get comfy after rooting it and get settled,flash a JB rom and a custom kernel.stock is always laggy.
[HTC One V] 1ceb0x:
One does not simply root his HOV and remains on stock!!!
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
HE WANTS TO STAY ON STOCK FOR THE FIRST FEW WEEKS!

Secondly, i am saying that since he is a bit confused about the toolkit and kernels and all,he should flash kernels later.thats a bit advanced.he will root it and then may learn a bit more and then experiment with kernels and stuff.
[HTC One V] CurtisAndroid5:
I'm not a complete noob when it comes to flashing ROMs etc seeing as though I've tinkered around with my last 2 devices. Its just the process seems a bit of a pain (The order and rebooting into different menus to flash kernels etc) so I'd rather read into it and get comfortable with the process. So I'd like to just root it so I can uninstall any bloatware and third party apps I can reinstall from the Play Store, I'd also like to add Adblock (A big reason I root my phones). I'll be flashing a ROM as soon as I find a fully working (100%) ROM (any recommendations and a simple step by step guide to install would be amazing too)

Thanks
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
ok Curtis i will PM u the instructions.and also keep referring the link that soham_sss provided above and keep reading the forums here:)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raj_k_r:
Out of curiosity I installed link2sd and my device status immediately changed to modified. I uninstalled link2sd but still it is modified. Usually whenever I installed any root application status used to change to modified and when I uninstall it used to change back to normal. But with link2sd it is still modified. Can somebody tell me how to completely remove link2sd so that I get the status back to normal? somehow I am not getting courage to use triangle away :(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
It's not related to triangle away.

Flashing a stock rom helps

Or you could try a Factory Data Reset. That may clear it. It worked for me after rooting with CF Autoroot.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raj_k_r:
Thank You, I will try tonight and update you

One more question, Kies has detected a new firmware but it says if device is rooted, update might fail. Is it so? Can I update without removing root?

and these are the files added/modified by link2sd

debuggerd from system/bin and

install-recovery.sh and install-recovery.sh.ori from system/etc

I am not sure what to do with these. Can anybody suggest. I want to keep flashing through ODIN as the last option and factory resetting wont remove these files. I believe samsung does not use install-recovery.sh. Can I just delete these files in that case?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raj_k_r:
Still it says modified after Factory resetting
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
Deleting them will get you a modified status.

Rename them to default.

They restore the default recovery if it had been changed on boot.

You need to remove root.

And have both stock recovery and kernel.

I have 0 counter and official binary and status in download mode.

But settings show device status modified.

Go to supersu and select full unroot.

It will reboot and you will get default status.

Also disable any app that uses root.

Like disabling and restoring and mods.

Last resort is to do factory res reset and then flash stock rom.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raj_k_r:
Thank you but can you check and let me know whether you also have these files? If you have, can you share them here? I dont mind experimenting but I would like to flash stock ROM only when Samsung releases 4.2. Till then I can keep on experimenting with.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Honzze:
I've got the same problem now. Didn't know about JB ROM's not supporting app2sd, and followed a forum's advise to use Link2SD instead. Ended up with Link2SD not working (standard mount of Link2SD very likely already used by the OS itself), and tried to get rid of the scripts it installs in the system.

But no got. Since there is no documentation and no real uninstaller, you end up with messed up scripts in your system folders.

The system modified status won't go away anymore.

I could correct the scripts Link2SD modifies myself (I'm used to do such things in Linux), but I'd need to know, what exactly has changed...

Is there anyone who could help?

Thank you for the quick response. You misunderstood me I wasnt saying that you used cm10.1 sources i was saying that the build has the same bug as these roms. like i have experienced this bug on the rootbox nightlies but not the the stable build. it seems alot of the nightly builds have this bug which keeps me from using them alot due to the fact i love playing music. if I knew what was the source i would try to fix it myself but im new to this phone and already bricked it a week in LOL. so im scared to play dev on this phone :) Sorry for the off topic but Im typing these and thanking God I didnt mess up my phone again.
