Guest WinterIsComing Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Not using protection heh. Good that you did not buy what was offered because I don't think Samsung makes scratch guards and specifically not for a phone where their manual recommends not putting one. The price is pretty good for the phone. I had paid 37k so this is quite close. So welcome to the club. Keep us posted on your progress. Oh yeah.. I jst paid 200 bucks premium for getting it about a week early!! :-D Anyway..the experience has been jst super awesome..coming from an aging galaxy S..it can't get better. The titanium Grey is cool. S-pen works much better than note 1. Got both the OTA updates within minutes of going online. Have installed about 60+ apps, smooth as ever. Basically just verifying what others have wrote before!! Haven't been able to capture battery stats yet. will report. Issues: launcher has crashed multiple times in about 24 hours of usage. I feel it's got to do with using folders on home screens. The folders look cool in their new avatar, but if I launch an app from a folder and then come back to the home screen, the launcher stops responding. I had placed a heavy folder in the dock. Moved it to the screen, haven't faced any FCs since then. Let's see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest j89 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Any one tried for Desktop Dock & Flip Cover for Note II. Any news when it is hitting Indian Market ? Couldn't find it yet anywhere. I would definitely want to look at the desktop dock. Haven't been able to capture battery stats yet. will report. Issues: launcher has crashed multiple times in about 24 hours of usage. I feel it's got to do with using folders on home screens. The folders look cool in their new avatar, but if I launch an app from a folder and then come back to the home screen, the launcher stops responding. I had placed a heavy folder in the dock. Moved it to the screen, haven't faced any FCs since then. Let's see. Battery life isn't bad at all. But, I end up using the note as a replacement of my laptop.. so it dies fast heh. Haven't had any problems with the launcher; perhaps it's some app your installed. I will check if it's something to do with folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ithehappy Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Guys I have a request. Who has already updated the device (OTA) and running of latest official firmware, when you go to about phone and select 'check for software update', what message pops up? Does it say your device is already updated or it keeps saying forever 'checking for updates'? Can you kindly check, I really need to know. Thanks in advance.

So rooted basically to use AdAway. And of course other applications like Screencast, Root Explorer etc. But as things stand, even if you root with Chainfire kernel, the OTA update is gonna get messed up.

I have no clue what you are talking about.. what ads? ads inside the apps? I don't feel the need to root. Stock is so good in itself. Agreed. The current stock is pretty pretty good.

It's only when you use such apps. For such things I don't root, just change the IP address for ad-serving domains to 127.0.0.1 on my DNS :) Edited October 14, 2012 by j89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WinterIsComing Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 One thing that always makes me feel sad about stock firmwares is the lag that they show while unlocking the screen, be it with the power button..or the home screen!! I know the s-voice thingy..and i have already disabled it..but somehow its not even close to the response time of AOSP..had been using that for months now..and it was amazing! That half a second lag every time i unlock the fone..aarrrggghhhh!! ppl facing it?? Is thr any way out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
