[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catfish_stevens:
Paranoid Android is one of my all time favs in order to maximize your tablet space by altering app DPIs etc (not that you need to with a tablet this large). MMuzzy's ROM is a nice AOSP replacement which is what I'm on currently. As far as kernels go, it's really up to personal preference. I'm on KTManta (ktoonservative) and it flies though sometimes I get the lockscreen (black) of death - not waking up from lockscreen. I bought Franco's app ages ago before I got a tablet and can vouch that he also builds a strong/stable kernel.

Hi guys, i make update at my S+ with samsung kies from android gingerbread 2.3.3 to 2.3.6, then i saw a problem, when i play something on S+ and when i quit from the game or...etc and i lock the phone S+shut down or restart, then i put again android gingerbread 2.3.6 with odin and same problem, somebody say me the prblem is ''kernel'', i dont know what is this, i hope you can help me and sorry from my english guys...:(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StalCaiRe:
for me it sound heavily like the deep idle problem on other kernels / devices

your phone can go to deep idle if you turn the screen of and the it gets the SOD (screen of death)

which means it won't let you wake up your phone ...

maybe root you device or flash an other kernel.

you can find enough Guides and How to's in the xda forum ;)

Sorry for my Bad english

Hope i can help you ;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CHANGiism:
How long should our Note II take to recharge from 0% to 100%? Problem with practically all Android phones is that it just takes way too long to recharge. Last night I plugged my Note at about 1AM, depleted all the way down. When I woke up at 7AM, it was still at 70%. Does that sound about right for everyone? I understand that we have a huge battery capacity but the limitation with the microUSB port is definitely there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
no something is not right...my device recharges in 2.5hrs from below 10% to 100%
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
You using an outlet or CPU?

if CPU, are you directly connecting to a USB port or a hub?

My cpu charges so slowly compared to an outlet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CHANGiism:
I'm plugged into the wall using the provided OEM charger.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
You tried different outlets?

I would turn the phone off, try dif outlet, try charging it, see if it is any better.

If no, probably something hardware related.

if yes, probably something you have installed then i would just restart from stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bradh024:
It takes me about 2-3 hours with the oem charger.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] broprah:
I've been having this problem too, and I can't really pin it down. I'm using the charger that comes with the S3,which is only rated at 1amp so I know that's the biggest factor. However, sometimes it charges to full in a few hours, other times after a night on the charger it will have only made it to 60% or so. The real stumper is that it only tends to drain about 1-2% an hour in deep sleep, so it's not like it's draining faster than the charger can keep up. It seems completely random. I'm ordering a 2amp charger to see if it helps, im sure it will, but I'm just confused by the random nature of this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nellyinda803:
Yea something is definitely wrong. Mine charges in about 2.5 hours from near 0%. Try a different outlet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bill Idol:
I use the cable the phone came with and I can go from 2% battery life to 100% in about 3 hours. Hella fast, luv it.:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Yeah about 2-3 hours is my usual charge time from 20% to 0% range respectively.

I still can't help but feel that that is somehow slow though. Can't tell, it's been so long since I had a small battery I don't know what a fast charge is nowadays.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJ1994:
Going from zero is way different than going from 1% the battery tries to protect itself so it trickle charges for a while. Honestly going from 10-100 should not take more than three hours probably closer to two
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kench33:
Mine seems like it takes about 2 hours maybe even less from 15%
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bill Idol:
True that, the that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old MuckenMire:
not sure if this helps, but do you have light manager installed? I had an issue when I first downloaded it and set it up, that night when I went to charge it it would charge VERY SLOW...I finally isolated the issue to light manager....I uninstalled it and reinstalled and it has been fine ever since. The Note 2 for me now charges faster than any device I have ever had.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] trapperjohn:
Hi,

This is what I have found. Sometimes when the microusb end is plugged into the phone that the phone charges at usb rate instead of ac which is wall outlet. I only have this problem with a standard usb cable in the car. Will change it soon but. What you can do after you plug in the microusb into the phone goto settings then battery and see how the phone sees the charging its getting. It will say either usb or ac. Ac is full charge rate usb is much slower since usb like off a pc or laptop has a lower output to your phone.

If you see it takes more than 3 hours to charge your phone and it says ac in settings then you definitely have a problem with either the charger, usb cable or phone.

Thanks,

Bryan
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
If you're using the cable and charger that came with the phone, you have a problem. Based on what you reported, I'd say you're using a 1A or less charger.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] shinew:
I've searched everywhere and can't seem to find a waterproof & rugged case for the note 2. the Otterbox defender seems to be the closest thing to what I want but it's not waterproof/water resistant. My main purpose for the case is to use the note 2 as a handheld GPS device when I go on hiking/backpacking.

Does anyone know if there is such a case exist or anything similar coming into market?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] coiledwire:
Start harassing Seidio to make a note 2 version of their OBEX case that they are releasing for iPhone5. This case seems to be close to the end-all for rugged cases.

Sent from my SPH-L900
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] loktite:
Might email and ask Otterbox as well, they are making a waterproof case for s3, iphone4/5; new series called armor.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] uberjon:
I almost bought the S3 because that case was available. Before fishing season starts I hope I have a waterproof case. Even if only 10-15ft (although long duration would be ideal.)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cdnmaplechick:
Would this be of use?

http://www.drycase.com/waterproof_S...tphones_waterproof_cases_for_Smartphones.html

It's not a waterproof case, per se, but it might be a good option until one becomes available on the market.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] shinew:
oh well, I guess there is no such case atm. I'm just going to wait then. if it's really needed, I'll just get the Defender with some plastic food wrap. I really just need it to be splash/rain proof, not planning to swim with it and such...

cdnmaplechick, yea I've seen it and it seems to be nothing more than just a plastic bag and offer no protection at all. While ideally I want the case to be waterproof, ruggedness is still more important than waterproof.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Gahh Its Lee:
Im always envious of the lifeproof cases we have on the two idevices in my house. Id love a waterproof case but it seems like our phone just isnt big enough yet (See what I did there?).
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] T4rken:
what about "liquipel?" they coat your phone with a special agent of theirs that protect it from water. google will tell more but its something ive come accrossed just reading tech articles.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LBJM:
If you have the note 2 already use a ziplock bag .... and a bluetooth headset. Isn't the whole point of fishing to be outdoors away from cell phone towers? I bet after fishing season a case should be out. Accessory makers should have cases out sooner since most phones almost always are announced a month or two ahead of time. Im still waiting on seidio extended battery convert case for this phone.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nerys71:
yes but when I am in the outdoors I want to take pictures shoot video txt my group I am with if nearby run gps tracking mapping navigation software. run ramp finder run charts when on the water play pandora or listen to an audio book etc.. etc. etc..

people seem to forget. I don't carry a phone. I carry a powerful portable hand held computer with me and oh by the way it happens to have a phone somewhere in there if i need it :)

I got this case for my S3

http://dx.com/p/protective-waterproof-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s3-i9300-black-176052

I will be sure to post pics/review when I get it.

I hope they end up making one for my Note II as well.

as a "go between" till nice stuff comes out I also got this for my Note II

http://dx.com/p/bike-protective-wat...-samsung-galaxy-note-i9220-n7100-black-175949

it says water proof I would take that to mean splash resistant. IE don't go submerging it but if it rains on it or something your "probably" ok.

I hope my Note II fits inside without having to remove it from my cases.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] shinew:
Liquipel is very cool but at almost $100 including shipping & insurance, the price is too high for my occasional need just to add waterproof protection. I only paid $450 for my phone new without contract. Not to mention I need to send in the phone and wait for about week for the turnaround.

Maybe it'll tempt me more if it's available somewhere I can get it done locally in few hours...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Gahh Its Lee:
Am I missing something or is liquipel not even available for this phone? Also if you look on youtube there are plenty if reviews showing it failing..
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] shinew:
Liquipel is available for Note I, so I just assumed with the note 2 it'll probably also work if I ask them, as I can't think of a reason why they wouldn't be able to coat a very similar phone in terms of physical design. But you're right, it's not officially on their list and it might not even be available for the note 2.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nerys71:
and they won't water proof guarentee ANY level of water protection anymore. leads me to believe they have issues with their process. you don't see them running phones underwater anymore.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] shinew:
oh really? that's strange.... then what's the point of using the service if they can't even guarantee that? I've only seen the demo at last year's CES and I was pretty impressed by the demo.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Gahh Its Lee:
Slight peace of mind is suppose. I think they stopped because some people's iphone and such weren't protected and were damaged by water after the treatment. And I know if I had this done to my phone is never hesitate to get it wet im sure many are that way
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] uberjon:
For the most part yes. Only use for the phone capabilities is emergencies. But the web/apps can be very helpful for a fly fishing noob.

Just got the hang of the basics late last year.. If the ice wasnt in the way I'd be out there now lol
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nerys71:
thats my point :) ie whats the point. especially considering how expensive it is.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sz1a:
I would give it a liquipel treatment and then slap on an Otterbox Defender case. Liquipel applies a nanocoating to your device making it water resistant, see here: http://www.liquipel.com/
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LBJM:
They make cameras that can take pictures under water that are now cheap. With your portable computer (smartphone) becoming more powerful it needs vents in it to let the heat out. There's trade offs when you add a lot of features to a single device that a specialized device doesn't run into.

Funny I'm doing cold weather training so I can get used to being out in the cold and ice.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MissTech:
Try an iottie with an otter defender. Expensive, but well worth it.

iOttie dot com.

It's what I use and it basically means I can swim with my phone if I choose.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MissTech:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] afrojoc:
Considering the protection you get its very inexpensive really. I wonder how well it actually holds up against water
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] BenGman:
I want to try this with wireless charging so I do not have to remove the iottie.

How does the phone with the iottie fit with the defender?

Is there any pinching of the iottie in the case that will compromise its waterproofness?

Where/how do you store the S-pen when the phone is in the skin?

(I have everything ordered but nothing has arrived yet for me to test - the phone, iottie, defender, touchstone cover and dock)

Thanks in advance for your response!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] barry99705:
Hard to use it in that case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vebulous:
That's hardly a good option. I have an old Data Traveler case for an old Kingston Tapedrive that i can use in those instances. But that's not a ruggedized case, its more like a safe.

We need a case that can utilize all/most of the ports withought having a need to remove said case. Extra plus bonus points for allowing the s-pen to be utilized as well.

An iOttie + Otterbox is also a bad idea since you can only use it once (or twice) and have to remove it everytime you want to charge you phone, listen to music or use the s-pen

(wireless charging, bluetooth and pre-removing the s-pen are more like stop-gaps than solutions)

This is the closest i can come up with (WARNING: The term WaterProof is just a brand. If you read the description, they clearly state its not 100% waterproof) Also, the camera lense is blocked during use. There's a flap top expose it, but ir compromises the ruggedness and "waterproofness".

http://www.ebay.com/itm/WaterProof-...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item53fc2f9904

I think I'm going to get one just to see what happens.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Jstevenett:
I'm interested to see how this case is. Please post your feelings toward it! Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] BenGman:
I went swimming with the iOttie case on my Note 2 earlier this year. Nice video of our group playing volleyball in the Nylon Pool in Tobago. Sometimes I left the phone by my foot in the water while we played then I thought better and tucked it in my bathing suit and dove around. No leaks whatsoever. My phone battery lasted a full day (and a half) in and out of the sea taking video (some underwater) and pictures.

The new iOttie cases let you reuse the case once you are careful. With the $15 package I can use the system for at least 10 days. Phone calls were ok in the case but I had the BT headset that I didn't use it. Left the S-pen in the phone and had a capacitive pen for backup which I did not use.

The Note 2 with the iOttie did not fit in the Otterbox defender though... so I just had to be careful using the Note 2 with the iOttie out of water.

I wanted the waterproofing for that specific trip and it worked great. People thought I was crazy for trusting a $650 phone with a $15 case but it worked out. I would buy an iOttie case again if they are available for my other devices.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bionic4.0:
How about this one? It looks similar to a life proof. remove the (dot)

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Gahh Its Lee:
Its hidious but if it works that's what matters. Somehow the life proof cases just look slightly better
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Do you have this case (are you that ebay seller)? To be honest, this is the first time I ever seen a truly waterproof case for Note 2 (Survivor knock off is not waterproof). Also, I don't see this case offered on dx.com and tvc-mall.com - two of the largest HK on-line retailers, which kind of surprises me. So, I'm very intrigued if someone finally designed one for Note 2. I definitely see no port for s-pen, which is fine. I also see they have 3.5mm headphone waterproof adapter like in Obex. In general, this case reminds me a lot of Obex for S3/S4, except this is for our Note 2.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Zues532:
Strange how the item description says it's for the S4, but the package in the last photo clearly says Note II.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
I noticed that too, but you can clearly see from the pictures - camera and flash are aligned horizontally which is N2 layout.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bionic4.0:
No I don't have one nor am I the seller. I just got board and started looking again. I was hoping some one had already tested it. for 20 bucks I might get one. I am struggling to get over how ugly it is.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vebulous:
Okay, so I got one. And I'll tell you something: not worth it. Even though it has a very low price, its not (NOT) not anything proof.

Build quality is very bad and none of the port covers function even remotely well.

I wouldn't trust my phone in this. The screen guard is all nasty looking (gunk and residue) and the belt clip looks like a kid's toy.

Here are some pics after I "sealed it" (without the phone inside) and ran it under a faucet for literally 2 seconds.

tl;dr don't bother
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] barry99705:
Well they said it's not waterproof.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Volleymansam:
I ordered one of these, it turned up today. It only took a week and a half to arrive in Australia which is pretty good. It's a pretty solid case, I water tested it for an hour and all was good. Makes the phone even bigger but it's the sort of protection I need for my phone at work. I'll post some pictures when I get home.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] yupThisIsMyName:
I've got an Overboard pouch for my Note and it works OK but it's basically just a plastic bag, not much in the way of rugged.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jrmiller125:
Anyone seen or tried this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/261297644630

I'm very tempted to order one. Looks like an S3 in the picture but claims N2 in description. Worst case scenario I guess I can put it on my wife's S3
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TheCob:
IMO that's probably the best looking rugged/waterproof case I've seen. Seller has great feedback and the description gives me quite the impression that these cases really could take a fall or go for an extended deep swim and still be fine. However it's lacking one thing which will prevent me getting it and giving it a go - it appears there is no way to press the home button.

tinyurl com /nweucva (sorry about the link, also under 10 posts)

I found this one, which seems to be the same as the one discussed on the last page - although this one comes in different colours. It looks to be waterproof to a few meters but it doesn't specify in the description besides 'being able to swim', which does imply that it's more than just splash/sweat proof. I'm pretty tempted to give this one a go.

P.S.

Worst case scenario is that you can get your money back through PayPal for false advertising / item not as described for the one you linked to.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jrmiller125:
I just purchased the one you linked. Says it will be here sometime early November! Lol oh well. Waiting game it is then. Might go ahead and order the one I linked too and do a comparison thread when I have both in hand.

Edit: ordered the other case too. Wish I had these when I dropped my phone a couple months ago. Wouldn't have a cracked screen lol
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TheCob:
Ha, I also ordered both of them a couple of hours after my previous post! My reasoning was that I decided I wanted one and was willing to pay around $40 for it, then I found this thread while eBaying and realised I could get both. Now we can be case buddies :/

In that previous post I said I didn't think there was a way to press the home button on the case with the flush front. I'm actually starting to think that plastic below the 'screen protector' may have a bit of give, or be made of soft silicon instead of a hard plastic, which could allow the home button to be pressed. It's a much nicer looking case but I just didn't trust the rugged part from the pictures. The uglier case looks like it's can take a beating and drowning better.

I'll get some pics and put them through some waterproofing tests soon as I get them. I got a feeling we should both see them before November, I hope!

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jrmiller125:
Surprise from brown Santa! Or usps rather. The redpepper case came today!

It's doing the "water test" now so I'll get some pictures of it installed later and final results on waterproof or not. First impression though is that it's huge! Makes the phone a good bit bigger but not much heavier or thicker.

EDIT: looks like both cases are the same. The one that came today was supposed to look more like the Life proof case but obviously doesn't.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LT1UltraZ:
we need lots of pics !
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TheCob:
You got your cases a lot quicker than I was expecting. Mine were marked as posted only a week ago so not expecting until the end of the month.

It's a shame that the lifeproof one isn't as advertised. Have you emailed the seller asking why the case wasn't the same as advertised? I was looking forward to having one super rugged one and also one slimmer one. If they are both the same for me then I will probably just give one to a friend who was interested in one, but was waiting for me to get and test mine before putting his money down.

Agree with the others - more pics and testing notes :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] :
Guys I'm not sure what we're talking about...this redpepper thing is the same as lifeproof? Or are they two different cases? In such case, what's the difference, both structurally and aesthetically speaking, between the two?

Looking forward for an in depth review to decide if and what to buy! 8-)

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] 2pezboy:
Your pics as well as the one for the product on the ordering page gives the impression that it completely covers the s-pen and doesn't have any openings to use it. Does this case allow the removal / insertion of the pen?

Thanks!
