Mind sharing details of yr adventures. I also like diy.

Dock wise, it's pretty much straight forward, just need to make the housing to rest and lean the phone and have the USB port at the bottom. If require option to turn into landscape mode, need to buy one windscreen holder and innovate. So far, the cheapest i found is in daiso.

power bank is straight forward, transistor, capacitor and diodes. diagram and directions can be found on the net and youtube. Problem now is, I need to check whether it can work both ways, meaning charge and discharge. So far everyone's been telling it can be used to charge phone, but none have mentioned the other way round.

Guys, the what's in the fullset box of Note 2?
*
I bought from directd. He clearly mentioned that there is no headphone set in the package. Saw like the price was cheap but less goods. Thought its a good compromise. Went to bought my unit, was surprised that it did come with the headset. What's more he threw in more free goodies. Free phone stand and car charger. In short. It was a good buy.

what the charger output?

1amp. Yeah I do realize it needs 2amps but freebie is good enough to hold the charge till I reach my destination. After all. It's free. Can't complain much.

What color is yours? I might be getting it tomorrow, can't stand the temptation ^^
The Jekod TPU case I bought comes with a free SP. Meh, free SP.. I prefer TPU as it covers all edges.
*
Grey. A bit expensive. But that's the colour I want. One more thing to take note. It's a roulette on the charger pin. I was lucky to get the Europe version which fits our socket. If the one you get is an odd pin you need to buy those socket converter. Just to highlight out to you early. Once they open you have to buy it.

I'm going for grey too.. Already asked the Senheng guy to keep one for me.
Not buying from directd. wink.gif Oh, you bought AP set isn't it? How much you paid for grey Note 2?
*
1848. White was 1799. So far no crack, charger hissing, bad screen, loose USB, physical or screen scratch etc. In fact I've been abusing it by not using cover or protective layer. Still waiting for my Idefence and hard cover shell to arrive.

depends in some ways iphone is better than android. Even at quad core there certain fludity note 2 still cant beat android one example is gaming.

Also the selection of apps available and navigating the play store is bit tedious.

Cool. I have Waze and I thought it requires data. How to get it switched off?

LoL, Yesterday, I was also looking for good standalone GPS apps, unfortunately alot of people complain the maps aren't updated as frequent as usual.

QUOTE(aspire2oo6 @ Nov 16 2012, 02:12 AM)

for example for it to load facebook takes hell alot data compare to windows phone it only loads text
*
I think it's because FB is already native in Windows OS. It caches and syncs everything all the time. If our FB app, it will reload and not cache sad.gif it's the same in IOS.

u all guys facing any problem with ur note 2?? any overheat problem??
im in dilemma choosing between note 2 and iphone 5.
seem like note 2 more function , iphone 5 look more solid to me.
i have been using s2, it is a bad experience to me,: auto restart, batteries drain fast, overheat(51c) , wifi hardware fried duo to overheat? repair it cost me rm600 to change mainboard  mad.gif

you guys just give comment  notworthy.gif
*
overheat, no that i know off. but for some reason on wifi, the exchange will cause the phone to heat up on idle. Not hot but luke warm. My advise, if you do alot of web browsing, Note 2 is better with the big real estate. Choose iphone 5 if you can't leave without apps. Price for one iphone 5 may get you up to 2 note 2. do take note.
