Too bad, 2 day using note 2. Using stock ROM with redpill and found out that the camera failed. Reverted back to stock ROM fixed this issue. ANyone experience the same?

Which kernel is on par with stock kernel but support triangle away?
*
Check your camera firmware first by dialing *#34971539#

For redpill kernel
ZKFI07 = camera not working
GKF103 = camera works

I would say most popular kernels support traingleaway - test yourself and feedback here

who knows who sells this case for Note II by melkco?

I bought mine directly from Melko authorised reseller:
http://www.carrymobile.com/smartphone-cell...te-2-n7100.html

Delivery takes about under 2 weeks and cost US$32
Option of shipping : normal airmail is FREE and with tracking is US$6 or thro Fedex, expensive at US$30+

I always use free shipping
I am a faithful buyer of Melko cases and i always buy it for all my phones ( always same type of model Jacka). It fits the phone very well and securely. I have infact drop my various phones few times on even tar road and the phone is always intact as the case offers very good protection. Only the case edges gets slight scarring only
Some users do not like it as is looks plain ( old man look as some says ) buut its quality is top notch genuine leather NOT PU leather

but i found tht my long SMS are automatically converting to MMS after 320 words..

This is default feature of Samsung
You can have this removed in most custom roms and there are mods to do it but you need to be rooted

i'm holding out for a 32GB version...

so, a bit disappointed to see Samsung MY commented on FB:
i know it's not a good idea to say "32GB coming in 3 months time" coz then... everyone will wait and they will lose sales...

so... how?!? :S
*
Just get a external 32 gb or 64gb micro SD card and swap it as internal memory
I have been using it nearly a month and phone is perfectly normal . Read post#4 or my blog how to do it
Only disadvantage is you cannot have best shot in burst mode
It is the best and cheapest alternative to increase internal memory

Hi uncle,
What does it mean "With Sleep mode function to save energy"?
Does this mean that the case has a magnet?

worried about s-pen troubles that users reported when using magnetic cases
*
The JACKA type ( flip top case ) has NO magnets

Same here.. thanks to you for showing us the ori Samsung case. I have totally forgotten about it.wink.gif Got some questions here:

1) How to clear default setting? Like when you want to open a pdf file and it gives you options with several apps you want to launch it with? I've chosen 'always' with Adobe Reader.
Sorry if this is a noob one. I tried searching at application settings.

2) Using Elixir Widget, there's an option to place 'clear cache' button. Is it necessary to clear cache? Or is it bad?
*
Look for the app at settings/applications and select clear defaults
So far in all the androids i used i never used such apps to clear cache or tasks - such actions are totally unnecessary. It is even more unnecessary in Note 2 since you have massive 2 GB ram
Must learn to stop thinking Windows when you are using a Android phone

bri appreciate ur answer/ reply a lot...but is there any risk to health of phone if i do so.......

thanks..

There is always a risk in modding your phone
But I have yet to come across any user seriously damaging their phones modding it with custom mods or custom roms
If there are so called big risks the XDA sites can be closed down already
But before you do any mod, ALWAYS ALWAYS do a nandroid backup so that in case of any unfortunate accident you can always restore back
New users get themselves into trouble as they do not read properly all the steps and take shortcuts. I'd say most mod/custom rom flash failures are usually user fault

Need root explorer to do this
Phone must be rooted
Get plenty of bootanimation in web

Have you validate your email? If I remember correctly 5 steps is basic. More than that is better.

Try complete all first and see. Especially link to your pc.

Exfat? Exfat jot supported by neak.
*
Most custom kernels do not support exfat. I think only exception is redpill n perseus
Anyway I m happy with perseus as I need it to swap external card as internal memory n maintain it as exfat format

did you re-format the 64gb using 64kb allocation size instead of the default 128kb? this might save us a bit extra space if we have lots of those tiny size files within the system...  icon_rolleyes.gif
*
I use card right out of box n never format it
I still have 20+ gb space left so not an issue at all

This thread is very poisonous....*tempted to sell off my S3...* lol

If you do not mind its bigger size I can 101% assure you will not regret upgrading to it
Its main benefit over S3 is slicker UI, insanely better battery performance at least twice S3, very much cooler operating temperature n of course S Pen

anyone can recommend a good task killer app?

Easy Task Killer? or Advanced Task Killer? hmmm...
*
Not necessary to use task killers in Android
Google yourself " Is task killers necessary in Android "
Even Google engineers themselves say it is totally not necessary
Those who continue to use such is only draining their battery and make phone worse
Those who still want to use thinks they are using Windows OS

Share you this video and go read the whole description at youtube side

The Note 2 battery life is just simply amazing - i have stop tweaking the CPU ( UV ) , testing various kernels, dumping off even power savings mode and Juice defender - all these i always do in all my previous Androids
Yesterday whole day in KL ( from 7 am till 10 pm ) and at least 3 hours browsing, onscreen time hit nearly 8 hours and battery left 15% - simply insanely great

if not necessary that will there at task killer on android? google engineers fail?

Task killers are by 3rd party developers who wishes to cash in on Windows mentality users
You have a choice to use it if you need but do not be surprised your apps killing is all in vain as it will crop back up gain
You cannot beat the system, so why bother even to do it
Similarly you see nowadays many companies promoting anti virus solutions for MAC OSX and has consistently give warnings that it is really necessary - those who are used to Windows will quickly installed such
Seriously I dont even have to worry about virus attacks on both my iMac and MBA since i started using it 6 years ago
