Guys realize my 2pin charger gets quite hot when charging. Is this normal? My other devices when charging is really cool.

It's pumping out 2A, will definitely be hotter than 1A devices. Touch a notebook charger @3A++ and feel the difference.

Hold your horses. The hissing sound might comes in later dates. Just keep your fingers crossed

lol, i pray for it to be fine then.


btw guys, i have a serious question and i apologize if this has been asked before, which i'm sure it has

if rooting with cwm it will increase the flash counter, yes?

if only CF rooting without CWM will it increase the flash counter??

So the heat is normal. Noted with thx..

Both methods will increase flash counter
Just use app triangleaway to clean it if it disturbs you
Flashing official stock rom through mobile odin or using in pc will clean it too

so as long as rooted either with or without cwm, after flashing a fresh rom will reset the flash counter to 0?

sorry to have ask again, not very mobile tech savvy, 1st smartphone.

I found "SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE2 TOOLKIT" Link Here.

is this method to root is easy and safe? any member used it and can recommend?

I rooted my note 2 with Chenglu method. My Nexus 7 rooted with Mskip ToolKit. So easy & simple.
However did not use Mskip Tookit for note2 yet.

Yes only with stock official rom irrespective of country

It should work
I have use his in nexus n nexus 7. Simple straightforward
You want more assurance use chenglu method referred my blog or post 4 in this thread

got a question,

let say i root and flash to custom ROM, then one fine day, my note 2 got problem and stop working, i will not be able to flash back to stock ROM. how can i send back the set to claim warranty then?

First always keep a nandroid backup. Do it from recovery mode. Restore this from recovery in such situations
If fail boot to download mode n flash stock official rom with odin in PC to revive phone
If fail only send in service center
If you worry so much don't root n flash

Look at it this way,
1) If your phone cannot boot but able to get into download mode you can flash back stock rom + factory reset which should solve it and u dun need to send to service center. Problem solved.

2) If you phone cannot boot and you cannot even enter download mode (example S3 SDS cases) then Samsung won't even be able to boot it themselves, hence they would not know you are rooted. So you still get your warranty replacement. Problem solved.

Edit: Fixed some grammar error before joytest comment on it.

Try to go into download mode for reflashing. If cannot even go into download mode means you brick your phone. Need service centre help to revive the phone. Wont matter your phone rooted or not..brick mean brick..off to service centre.

Can afford note 2 consider rich di la. Poor le using phone below 300.

The chance you hard brick during flashing is I would say is 1 in a million
Hard brick usually due to user carelessness
- flashing with very low battery charge
- flashing wrong phone file
- disconnecting cable while phone not fully reboot n no patience to wait

Charger got hissing sound means its going to kaput soon?

hi all;

my hp's LED light does not blink or indicate when i charge the hp or when a message coming in.

I did a *#0*# to test the LED it is ok.

how hoh??? kindly need your advice

Right
One is definitely not poor to afford a rm2k phone
If one buy it n end up poor blame yourself for lack of budget planning
Worse are those who pay installment up to 2 years just to buy it. Such monthly payment better used for more useful matters than getting a phone
Stretching to 2 years for a very fast depreciation stuff is senseless
