YES, the SGS II USB-OTG cable works well

Contact user EIRAKU , SGS II user at garage sales or at the SGS II thread

Only can put it to download mode. It will not erase the flash counters

I don't think is possible without a powered USB Hub.
Even connecting directly a USB 2.5 inch harddisk ( formatted in FAT32 320 gb need the harddisk to be powered)
However if you connect to a USB hub and plug in a USB thumb drive, the NOTE can still detect the thumb drive ( I tested with Kingston 16 GB)

Paid apps not purchased cannot be updated through official market. When you try to update you will be prompted to pay for it. Android apps are generally cheap, support the developer and pay for it. If you can afford a rm2k phone, I am sure you can afford to pay the average rm3-10 ringgit for the app

I have posted this earlier :
The battery life will be improved after several days of usage . For new Android users do refer my posts here page 1 post #3 Q16-Q16d to understand better battery issues and how to have better battery life

About 3 months ago, I remember I last ported my Celcom postpaid to Digi postpaid - it was done within 10 hours

No need to worry about battery life. Just know what to take care and how to control your data downloads ( see my earlier posts above). The battery life in the NOTE is way much better than the SGS II
It can easily last me 12-14 hours : average 2+ hours browsing, every 30 mins email download 3 email accounts, RSS, Tweeter, Newsfeed ( Greader, Newsroom) every 30 mins, weather update every 4 hours, few calls and about 10 SMS, no gaming . My 3G is always on 24/7 and most of data usage mainly on 3G unless I happen to be in WiFi area. Such usage the most I could get on SGS II was 8-9 hours

What do you mean resolution is not accurate ? This is only a tweak - do not expect perfect . You want a nice GPS app with beautiful, stunning, good resolution get SGIC AURA. It now cost Euro 19.99. In June I pay only Euro 9.99 for it for my SGS II. Now price increased . I first bought it in March for a unbelievable Euro 30 for my Dell Streak !!!

BatteryCalibration app need root. OR you can try the LONG TEDIOUS method posted yesterday post #1133 by syedammar. I would say it is more of how you control your apps. Freeze those ( you need root) that you never used at all - especially those Samsung apps

Someone has just posted at XDA DXKKI rom ( android 2.3.5). For those who has upgraded to it, download it and keep as security in case your phone crashed and you need to reflash your rom

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345873

With this, I am sure you guys will see Chainfire CWM kernel based on KKI will be up soon as he was asking for a full rom to work with

This post has been edited by benny888: Nov 14 2011, 09:56 PM

Ooops !!! Chainfire has just released his CWM kernel for KKI

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784

Yes, you can now root plus install CWM if your phone firmware has been upgraded to KKI ( the latest for local sets ). It is a very easy process - just take few minutes

Everyone started similar as you. I was in same position when I started to use Android , the Galaxy Nexus in June 2010. Before that I was a Windows Mobile and Blackberry user.Just spend time do some googling around, reading up the forum threads to understand more

Yes ; but you can transfer the licence over - just email them your new phone IMEI. I just transfer the licence from SGS II over to the Note. What Sygic will do will - they will delete your old IMEI and when you access Sygic the first time, it will recognize your new phone and activate it - no need to key in any activation code

These are some of the common ones I have installed on my NOTE:

File Manager : Astro File Manager, ES File Explorer

Added on November 14, 2011, 10:45 pmNo harm trying . The most is just a failed install. I think it should work

Titanium is still the best. It is so good I paid 4 times more than the offer price just to support the developer

i mean I paid 4 times more as a donation ; when the app was develop it was not available in Market yet. After beta testing it I bought it and to encourage him I paid him 4 X more than his asking price

Those who wear jeans might find it bulky but for those guys like me who wears baggy trousers, it fits well in the side pockets and hardly feel it. I even can fit in my previous Galaxy Tab 7" ( with casing on ) in my pants side pockets
