You Mean S2 or note charger can used by S3 and Note2? blink.gif
Btw my hissing sound occur when you start to FULL charge when 90% I GUESS... ohmy.gif
*
Yes you can use s3 charger except is slower as only 1A output while note2 charger is 2A output
Go n change the charger as some users did if you are disturbed by the hissing noise
For me I only used my ipad charger to charge the note2 n all my other gadgets too

Some of us drop also din have any crack. Perhaps yours one of the lucky one. Go to SC ask for advice?? Maybe they will replace at lower price?

been thinking of getting either a Samsung Galaxy III or a Note 2.......

Just one thing bugging me is the size of the Note 2. While it's great for reading and browsing, i will probably need to carry it around in my handbag. Anyone can comfortably carry it in your jeans? i doubt so....

And why is getting a Note 2 better than getting a Galaxy III (apart from the drawing pen)?

Did any of you guys regret getting a Note 2 instead of the Galaxy III? Screen size really not much different i think...
*
Compared to S3 note2 offers better, smoother performance n battery life at least twice s3. Spen an advantage if you see need to use it. Size is never a problem for me. I don't wear jeans but it will be a tight fit. It easily fit in my slacks n 3/4 shorts pockets

also i'm bit confused coz everywhere i hear ppl complaining that android phones battery can't last long.....

i thought iphone battery was the worst.....i barely have enough to last the day....

so which is correct? Android drains more power or iphone? Share your experiences....(p/s: assume only make say 10 calls a day, minor surfing, check email, no heavy games, a bit of facebooking and social networking)
*
Note 2 battery life is about 2-3 times longer than iphone5.

Guys

Normally it would take me around 2 hrs+ to get a full charge. Is there any charger or so called 'fast charger' to chat can charge my Note II less then the quoted time?
*
Is already fast at 2 hours. Remember the battery size is bigger than most other phones n is already taking in 2A input. I suggest you do not put it to extreme limit further

You must set ADW as default launcher and disable TW - do this at settings/app - clear defaults for TW

So I can use my BIS simcard to Note 2? You have no idea how much this saved me.

You can use the data plan . No need change simcard provided yours is microsim. Just inform Telco to cancell the BIS service

Can because I was from BB too before started using Note II. My boss is also using her BIS plan on her iPhone, she is on Maxis. smile.gif
Cannot cancel for now because it is under contract and he will be penalized.
So have to continue using it until the contract ends. smile.gif
*
Mine was cancell after 8 months but still maintain data plan. There is no penalties. I was on Celcom previously. I just cancell the BIS service only n I use the simcard on another phone

anyone know the solution of suddenly inaccurate of gps ?
flash rom and restore nandroid also no luck....arhhh~~~~~~~
*
Perhaps time to check your GPS chip
This type of thing should not happen under normal situations
I faced such issues before on my previous HTC n motherboard was replaced
Those proposals to use 3rd party apps is unnecessary for a good functional GPS. I never see need to use such apps till now

I have quoted somewhere just to push my point I find note 2 is a "million" times better than iphone5 for my needs. Only those who are deaf n blind choose to ignore this or try their best to defend ip5 superiority. This is from my experience using the iphone5 too n all previous iPhone series

huhu. weird coz i dont know what is causing the problem. sdcard is in fat32 format.

i dun see any other ppl having problem using benny's method with custom rom for example monx rom.

my only guess would be my sd card is slowly fading away moneyflies.gif

Times up for sdcard. Get a replacement fast n backup all stuffs in PC

Why so susah update through OTA. Just download LL7 from sammobile.com/firmware Msian version LL7 and flash it in PC using Odin - simple, fast and straightforward

So flashing the LL7 Firmware from sammobile is advisable via kies? Sorry for being a noob here as this is the first time I used an android phone without root access >.<
*
You dont need KIES to flash firmware. You install KIES for its USB drivers only
It is 101% safe to flash stock firmware download from sammobile.com
And you do NOT need root to flash official stock firmware ( any country). Just use the software ODin in PC

Thanks Benny.

So in Odin, what should I check and unchecked. Previously those files I installed via Odin is in tar format and not sure if zip works too. So I would just use browse and select the file in the PDA selection?
*
Odin can only flash extracted files in tar format. For full zip files if extracted you see several folders ( eg data, system, meta INF etc) this can only be flash through RECOVERY mode
In Odin , just leave everything as default and just select the tar file as PDA
