quite annoyed and disappointed with the note build and quality... i just have to rant again.
2 days back, i was using the phone while it was being charged. there was the usual 'screen sensitivity' issue -- very obvious if you use swype.
anyway, i noticed the screen flickering quite often and an apps was trying to run in the background... notification bar showed driving mode was on. WTF?!? turned it off... and 15seconds later, it would come on... the screen would go to voice talk/ command screen... double press the home button also not working properly...
restarted the phone and it was still the same... screen still flickering and going into drive mode...
then i suspected something. unplugged the USB cable. all the 'problems' disappeared. somehow, the phone was detecting the cable as a usb car dock?!? it's the original charger + cable.
yes another poor quality accessory. already it gives me hissing sound... but now died on me?!? i wonder if i can claim warranty on this.
now have to use the usb cable from the sgs2. actually, i find the quality of the usb cable from sgs2 to be much better. there's even a bulge on the micro usb end of the cable so you'd know which way to plug in the cable, in case you're in the dark, etc... no such thingy with the one that came with note.
You would'nt face any of that if you upgrade to latest firmware (xxLA4) except for the 'screen sensitivity' issue during charging.
