32gb is rm99 and 64gb at digital mall is rm205

The 32gb I am using in my note 2 grey and red
And for your info 32gb is sdhc and 64gb is sdxc
Which All IT is this? The LYP store has the 64GB version out of stock for the longest time.

So far experience twice random restart. 
Suddenly heard startup music.  The phone was not in use during that time
Yup. Had the same problem today for the first time too. I just updated some basic apps like Google +, Flipboard etc. I'm on stock and trying to keep it lean and installing just basics.

QUOTE(scroll @ Nov 10 2012, 07:58 PM)
currently i'm charging the note 2 using my wife iphone adapter plus the note 2 cable. no hissing sound at all. both charger have same input power but note 2 output is 2.0A and iphone is 1.0A. so i guess charging using iphone adapter will take longer hour to complete 100%.
Of course no hissing sound. Hissing sound does not come from the Samsung cable or Samsung phone. It comes from the Samsung charger. Using Iphone charger and Samsung USB cable will not reveal the hissing sound.

QUOTE(scroll @ Nov 10 2012, 07:58 PM)
i also noticed that charging using note 2 charger makes the note 2 panas but now using iphone adapter no heat at all.
2A vs 1A.

Note 1 charger gives out 1A only if I'm not mistaken. Note 2 charger gives out 2A.

So izzit ok to use my ipad charger to charge the note II ?

iPad charger is outputing 2A current if i'm not mistaken.
Yes, I use it. So does a lot of other people here like Uncle Benny too. If not wrong, since back from the days of Note 1.

Ok. I misunderstood then. I thought they have 64GB. The 32GB I saw in their LYP branch too was for RM 99.

QUOTE(XeactorZ @ Nov 10 2012, 10:18 PM)
yes, but charge slower
you also can use higher ampere charger to charge your note 2, but maybe harm for the battery unsure.gif
Using Note 2 charger to charge Note 1 should be faster. Not slower.

QUOTE(antt00 @ Nov 10 2012, 10:24 PM)
Ooohh batteries again. We never stop talking about it.  tongue.gif

Well nowadays li batt are smart. They can limit the charging amp to ensure they are protected. Eg. note 2 batt should be max at 2A. So using a bigger charger is not gonna charge it faster as the batt is just gonna take 2A. It should be controlled by the chip in the battery.
Never seen a commercially higher than 2A charger before. Don't count the chargers used for RC car lah.

The car charger that I recently bought is 2.1A.

QUOTE(Human Nature @ Nov 10 2012, 10:29 PM)
Just got my unit, grey colour at senq. The blue strip seal that hold the cover together was already broken, so i said i dont want. But the manager brought me to the cabinet and showed me that all boxes have been opened and explained that they want to inspect and ensure that all items are there. There was a case where their supplier took some accesorries. Do you think this sounds fishy? Anyway, I have checked the imei no and is the same.
BS. I mentioned this before a while back. When I got mine from SenQ, the girl gladly wanted to open 2 boxes for me to see (one grey and one white) without hesitation on my request. I felt bad because I already decided to take the grey set and them told her not to open the white one.

So my guess is that those open boxes other potential buyers already molest. sad.gif

Then i very bad luck. The manager helped to cut my simcard but when inserted, said the phone cannot detect as it is old simcard, not sure if it's he cut wrongly. Anyhow, i had to walk to the next building to digi center to get a new simcard...but damn, my phone no all hilang as it was kept inside my old sim. But my old simcard now already cut into microsim and i dont have adapter for my old phone.....


Added on November 10, 2012, 10:30 pmi am kinda overhelmed by the phone..first time using smartphone..lol
No idea how old your previous phone was but usually, phone numbers are automatically copied and stored in the phone memory and seldom on the SIM card anymore.

QUOTE(gensys @ Nov 10 2012, 10:31 PM)

Same thing happened to me. Got to get it another day. After collecting my prepaid card, they took more than half an hour to register it and then still failed. rolleyes.gif They only managed to register the line the following day.

Perhaps if you get to hear other headphones hooked up to your Note 2, your expectations will change.

QUOTE(antt00 @ Nov 11 2012, 10:57 AM)
For me the drain from intellicover really IS insignificant. Just worry whether is will shorten the lifespan of the proximity sensor.
Actually, if you switch on the Quick Glance option under Settings / Motion, you'd still be switching on the proximity sensor anyways... So for those who already have the Quick Glance option switched on, the Intellicover app should not make the lifespan of the proximity sensor any worse.

exposure to magnetic fields.
• Magnetic stripe cards, including credit cards, phone cards, passbooks,

• Do not use carrying cases or accessories with magnetic closures or allow
your device to come into contact with magnetic fields for extended

Quick glance only activate the sensor when screen off. Intellicover is 24/7 non stop.
Most of the time, screen is off right? For me, no difference between 24 hours on if on Intellicover vs 20 hours on Quick glance. It's still a lot of hours.

QUOTE(joytest @ Nov 12 2012, 01:36 AM)
I suggest you plug your old sim back to your old phone, then bluetooth all contacts over. That should solve your problem.
What if this OLD PHONE does not have bluetooth connection? LOL biggrin.gif

Actually what you trying to state cos i really lost your point. Dun remember why we discussing this. rclxub.gif

How is it difficult to follow? hmm.gif

Original question is if you use Intellicase, you wear out your sensor because it runs 24/7.

I say how is it different if you use Quick Glance? You pointed out only that it only activates when the screen goes to sleep. I mentioned that by estimation, it would be around 20 hours per day the screen is off (maybe more depnding on your personal usage) and that 20 hours and 24 hours is no different as it's still a long time the sensor needs to be on.

So basically if somebody can say they don't mind using Quick Glance, should be no problem to use Intellicase as it's only around 4 or 5 hours more usage of the sensor per day.

QUOTE(benny888 @ Nov 12 2012, 09:55 AM)
Get a 32 GB or 64 GB external SD card and swap it as internal memory. Read post 4 on how to do it
I have been running on it with internal memory as 59 GB with ZERO problems past 3 weeks
The only thing I worry is speed and response of the phone...

QUOTE(aspire2oo6 @ Nov 12 2012, 11:41 AM)
Black case haha. After I use this all other cases look boring haha for me
I think I only saw a pic of the black flip original casing on the front that you posted. How does it look at the back? Is it still titanium grey colour like the other original grey flip casing?

QUOTE(phoenixxx @ Nov 12 2012, 12:32 PM)
4) the issue of transferring all my contacts, calendar, messages, photo, apps (especially paid apps - how to transfer), etc etc from iphone to android (i think there's a post in the first page but it only covers ... messages or something. need to check after sending this msg)
I'm sure by now you would already found the answer to transfer your contacts to your new phone. No idea on the question of paid apps. I guess cannot since games / apps are not cross platform.

Someone can say they dun mind using quick glance or intellicase or anything that uses proximity sensor 24/7. But it does NOT change the fact it MIGHT reduce the lifetime of the proximity sensor. If your warranty already end, and u go samsung n say oh its because your quick glance kill it, they dun give a shit either.

Basically i throw this doubt hoping someone with knowledge on this can clear some light on the lifespan of the proximity sensor. Saying the quick glance uses it as well helps nothing.  whistling.gif
Was just merely highlighting the fact that Quick Glance also uses proximity sensor for long durations just in case people are not aware. If people are worried and paranoid that their sensors get overcooked, they should have the same caution when using Quick Glance too. That said, nothing wrong with being paranoid.

The other reason I brought up Quick Glance was because it's a built-in feature on the Note 2. If Samsung can sanction it, I don't see how we should be worried.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Nov 12 2012, 01:47 PM)
The speed is nothing much of my concern.
Just feel sayang to lose out the Best Face feature.
I believe writing speed is the reason why Best Face feature cannot be implemented when replacing with the Sandisk memory card.

You can get a normal LED TV with HDMI and use the AllShare dongle to connect the phone with the TV.

Or get a Samsung Smart TV that has the AllShare built in.

For Samsung Smart TV, don't know if they have 40 inch but I only came across their 42 inch which was slightly above 2k.
