Did you root your phone? If yes, then how are you doing a OTA update? Or you are flashing via Odin?

Just asking.

Not rooted. An OTA update.

[Guest JulyDerek]

Do you now have the Screen Recorder function after the update?

Not there. Can't find anything new tho.

Hey Guys,

I am dyin' to get my hands on a Grey SGN2. Anyone knows the best price and place to buy it from in Gurgaon..??

Appreciate your inputs.

Thanks,

CHEERS..!! :D

[Guest sumeshd]

The update was 12 mb..brings optimisation to keyboard input and predictive text..

[Guest j89]

This is the pouch I bought from eBay for 199 bucks. Can't complain. After 100 Rs. courier charges & the sellers profit, it probably cost him Rs. 50. Beggars in Bombay look at you in contempt if you give them Rs. 50.

So, as expected this pouch was rubbish. Too hard and internally looked like it would scratch my phone. Throwing it away. If anyone wants it free, PM me here.

The funny thing is even in this pic it does look good. This is why even today after buying thousands of things online I am wary of Internet shopping.

Thats good. Does it predict the next word like Swiftkey?

Yes it does perfectly...just give it some time to learn though..

So first I'll update the software.

Is it neccessary to update in the same order as above ?--9-->37-->12 mb

[Guest nimish.saraogi]

I just received the third update today, the 12 MB one, the first two updates were straight after i bought the phone last week,

Anyone knows exactly if theres any significant change in the last update?

I did not find any noticeable change in the last update,

It will happen in that order nonetheless. .

One that I noticed was better keyboard integration and awesome new prediction...and new swype feature.

<br /><br />You get a SanDisk 32GB Class 10 for 1300 on eBay,and I bought the USB Host cable for around 80 in Mumbai. So it really depends on quality also. Still not a very bad deal. If it works great, be happy&#33;<br /><br />Now Flipkart.com reduces price to 38500/-<br /> Edited October 16, 2012 by Aditya_e

Hi All,

I found this video about WiFi Direct feature which is there in Note 2 also but perhaps not many people use it as it is overlooked :

[Guest Aditya_e]

I just found this site selling Original Note 2 Cases and flip covers.

PSA: Shadowgun is still available for free in the Samsung Apps store.

3 games were being given as promotion for GS3 last month which included Shadowgun, Modern Combat 3 and Asphalt 7. Asphalt 7 is no longer available in Samsung Apps. Modern Combat 3 is still being offered free but it doesn't download on the Note 2. Says that the game is not optimized for this device.

Guys will it be harmful for my device if I buy this cheap cable for charging?

Nope. But make sure the connectors are all fine etc . The charging speed is based on the phone charger not the cable.

You should be able to find even original nokia micro usb cables for not too much. Original cables would be better quality tested.

On XDA screen protector thread, already report of scratch on Gorilla Glass. So much for it's unscratchable theory.
