Question to rooters. I root my note already. But when I want to install cutom rom or apk through cwm, I got 'signature  verification failed'. Anyone know what went wrong?

actually got it yesterday afternoon, but got too engrossed on the phone that I totally forgot of this thread tongue.gif

walao wei, im still not believing the sheer size of this thing!!! it is such an amazing experience doing what i normally do on my s2 last time on this. And jellybean doesnt disappoint in term of smoothness nod.gif

screen sharpness is just ok, most probably since the ppi not so high. Much better than my previous s2, but not as good as my iTouch. But since most of the time the screen is quite far from my eyes, I would say its good enough smile.gif

batt life cant say much yet since yesterday I just charged a little using my s2 usb charger, and only today charged properly to 95%. Lets see how it holds up tomorrow.

Im so surprised and of course happy to find out that the ote doesnt really feel huge in my pocket or while walking, was really worried about that.

Have not odin to Malaysia firmware, but have already got multi view thru OTA. GOsh, on the first day itself, it has proved to be so useful. While doing online tutorial, I can have ebook at the top thumbup.gif

So far, have not really found any real cons, but I would say the gallery is a lil slow. I dodnt even have much in there, and yet it feels slower than my s2 already hmm.gif

So far, saying "Im impressed " would be an underestimation wink.gif

just bought note 2 yesterday...

everything is fine except the back cover i realise it does not shut fully.. i tried pushing but it wouldn't budge

also i do not think the NFC is working properly as with my friend's S3 whenever i put near my IC, there is a sound and the phone vibrate slightly but for my Note, nothing happened...

does anyone have the same issue?
*
U r gonna neee to push it in harder as the nfc contacts are on tye cover.its weird that the original cover doesnt fit. Can take a pic of it?

Yeah. It has. And it's one of the reasons why I got the Note 2. I was waiting for ages for Apple to implement in iPhone but they seem to ignore such a simple function. sweat.gif
Yes, I love how it glows the plastic. Some people may say it looks like a cheap effect by I love it. tongue.gif
The effect is much more pronounced due to the White colour compared to Grey.
*
true, the way its blurs of on the edges ever so slightly is so nice, and its not super bright or distracting, so I will just leave it on smile.gif

Guys, how you find this phone ? I had enough with my HTC one x and kinda dissapointed with the problem it faced. If we use samsung galaxy note 2, can it be root and would it affect the warranty ? Sorry. Newbie here.
*
HTC has started to dissapoint since SEnsation. THeir best year was 2010, after that, just failures after failures. I would say although the "feel" of these or any Samsung phone are not nicer than HTC, at least they have WAY less issues than HTC. u root, u install custom ROM, u brick, u superbrick till cant turn on also, Samsung will repair it for you, dont need to be scared, I have witness this before wink.gif

HTC even if root, sometimes they wont bother to repair the phone, although the issue with the phone is not even related to the rooting shakehead.gif

Is there anything special about the official samsung flip cover that warrants its price of RM149?
*
Nothing. If any, maybe the NFC chip on the back cover? the only good thing is there is very less added bulk if you go with this case compared to others.

The NFC ship is ON the cover. With s3 it was on the battery. galaxy nexus, no idea tongue.gif

spend the whole yesterday night setting up the new Note II:
1. Root & install CWM.
2. Install Titinium Backup and transfer all my data by backup/restore.
3. Flash WanamLite 1.2 (only for the deodex feature, luckily non-wipe rom).
4. Flash 5x6 home screen mod - really cannot stand the 4x4 default, it is just wasting the space in big screen.

Later will see want to do the external/internal memory swap or not.  biggrin.gif

Plz compare batt life and smoothness compared to stock ROM. thx notworthy.gif

hands up legs up agree with your comment on htc, i was the disappointed user for sensation / xe...stupid enough gv 3rd chances to htc for their one x....end up disappointed with their antenna + battery issue...although not as bad as others forumer complaint here regarding the screen and wifi issue... i sold it off and join back samsung family.. will only get htc one x if that is super cheap or see my company foreign worker see who need money go back and want fast money... but asking me invest 1.1k for one x used set.... forget it. i rather spend 1.4k for s3 used set.
*
If they did a mistake on one year, still can accept(2011) but even worse the following year??? I always thought my first droid will be HTC, but got an s2 instead. If someone ask me to choose between sensation and desire HD, Desire HD will obviously be my choice without a doubt wink.gif

I don't think its gonna be any different next year... their profit is also going down year on year, wonder how long they will survive doh.gif

*
the in call volume of this phone is very good, so maybe u not used to it yet? tongue.gif

there is mod in the xda thread. Although it is to INCREASE it even more, im sure u can also reduce the DB so its more acceptable to your ears nod.gif

The audio quality on the Note 2 is amazing while hook up to Nokia Monster Headset WH930 . Didnt expect it sound so good. Its sound even better than this headset hook to a lumia phone.

can't really compare battery life as i dun really use it after i got it on Thursday.  Smoothness is about the same, can't feel any difference to me.

actually just wanted to root and use TB.  Then cannot tahan the 4x4 home screen so thinking of flashing the mod. But realise can only do it with a deodexed ROM, so no choice but to flash the WanamLite, as recommended by Benny to be close to stock rom.  biggrin.gif
*
ah i see, i see. Me only stock LJ# with root for TB also. Actually waiting for a better CWM version which magically fixes the auto checksum thing tongue.gif

will use stock till the coming friday. If still no better CWM, will go custom hehe

thats the problem, cant change using the sound setting in the phone sad.gif

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922715

use that to reduce the volume. By default its gonna be EVEN HIGHER than it is currently, so u need to edit the numbers a bit, maybe change to 57 or something hmm.gif

Is that worth to change from S2 to Note 2? My S2 just 1 year old, but I feel very laggy when downloading multiple apps, and the battery life sux!
*
former s2 user until a few days ago. I cant find even ONE, i repeat even ONE reason where the s2 is better than this beast. Trust me, it is so worth it, that suddenly 2k feels like nothing for the multitudes of features you are getting with this monster!!! thumbup.gif

Go for it!! if u got any further questions of how they compare, PM me
