I think the notification bar in 4.1.2 is black as opposed to the 4.1.1

I read it somewhere in the XDA about the changelog a while ago

taking picture no longer have shutter sound when phone is in vibrate or mute.

also, probably slowpoke, but long press the toggle in notification pull down will bring you direct into the settings for that toggle (wifi, bluetooth). i just noticed this...lol

I just bricked my Update to 4.1.2 using Mobile Odin Pro, currently stuck in Bootloop, I still can access download mode, any idea what should I do? Thanks

really?
heard dll5 is crappy, dll4 is just fine, and  now dll7 is better?
thing is, the changelist between this three firmware is exactly the same!! but what u r experiencing is also being reported by xda forumers

I tried to flash it, but it keep saying Can't open serial(COM) port, any idea? Thanks

Still fail to update after 2 days. Always got message "...Please try Later'. Updating trough Samsung Kies also fail. Got Message Fail to upgrade...'. My set is Malaysia Samsung Ori Set. Very frustrated. I don't want to flash since it is very complicated & because of warranty issue.   

Good for you, but some say the Mobile Odin tend to return with more failures sometimes.
It is good that the counter didn't increase but when it does, there are always a jig. 

Argh, based on exynos abuse, the exploit is still epxloitable after update

@tot31, can you check whether the exploit still exploitable? Thanks

Mine is also grey wooo... I was updating it thru OTA by the way.

Checked with the application, it failed, so it is still protected.
I think ExynosAbuse show exploitable due I am restoring from Titanium backup, which restore the config also
So, for those who want to keep counter 0 (status will always be modified if you root, sooner or later), can try this approach

Install 4.1.1 roms, Root using ExynosAbuse, then Update using Mobile Odin Pro to 4.1.2, it keeps counter intact.

hey need help here...

Awake time should be the same as Screen On time right?

I have tasker installed, so when screen off the wifi and 3g will switch off and on back when screen is on.  But check with better battery stats, it always shows my awake time 50% more than my screen on time, is that mean apps running in the background even without network connection like FB?

An accessory for the Note2:

Kingston came to CES 2013 with something quite impressive in its pocket, the Kingston DataTraveler HyperX Predator 3.0 1TB USB 3.0 flash drive.

Currently shipping as a 512GB model, the HyperX Predator peaks at 240MB/s for read and 160MB/s for write and measures at 88.53x26.94x21mm. It is, of course, backward compatible with USB 2.0 but do not expect anything above 30MB/s. The flash chips are safely packed in a zinc alloy metal casing and it comes bundled with HyperX valet keychain as an exclusive accessory.

As always, good things come at a price, so the currently available 512GB model is selling at US $1750

On purpose....for people to RTFM hahahhaha

Now I love my Galaxy Note 2 to bits but I'll be honest ... I'm tempted by the new Sony Xperia Z.

Have some videos to look at while you pretend to work:

they didn't fix the exynos exploit bug with this official 4.1.2 right?

use chenglu 6.0.1.5 CWM, so far never failed on me even once!!!
backup restore also always works reliably
Will only be changing recovery once 4.2 official comes out lol(will need 6.0.2.7 then )

what is IDM?

To all posting this stuff, my humble opinion.....

Looks like Samsung single-handedly created the >5" phone market, (they should crapple if they ever ventured 4.3" and greater) and everyone's catching up.
No doubt the new devices are sexy and have some improved hardware, but do not forget the key differentiator for the Note series is the Wacom ACTIVE digitizer and the companion stylus.

So, despite *maybe* nicer screens and more mpixels, and perhaps lower price, the only valid comparison is when these competitors add in the Wacom/Ntrig or whatever ACTIVE digitizer.

Without that, comparisons will be lacking. Then again, Samsung could release a same spec device with no digitizer, but I think that would confuse the market, and likely cannibalize current Note series sales.

the Lenovo K900 is a realy looker man.

xperia z can go pack bags and go home
