General Overview, Key Features, Telco plans

Launched in Malaysia 11th October, 2012. In stores from 19th October,2012 thumbup.gif

Malaysia has the N7100 model by Samsung Malaysia. The N7105 LTE model may be obtained from other importers but LTE coverage is very limited as of now (Q1 2013)

Latest firmware for Malaysia: N7100XXDMB4 Android 4.1.2, Week 3, Feb 2013.

You may also get an "unable to access server" message like in the pic link below. This just means that the Samsung update server is full. Try again at another time. Patience is virtue.
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=Atta...post&id=3305103

DO NOT ASK WHAT HAS CHANGED COMPARED TO THE LAST VERSION(s). Samsung does not provide any meaningful changelogs.

For those who already know how to flash: Download official firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ - login first.
You will download a zip file. Unzip it for the tar file to be used for flashing

Additional information related to Note 2 basic operation and Common Issues

==============================================================

XDA site for Galaxy Note II (N7100 and N7105)
Samsung Galaxy Note II - N7100 and N7105
XDA has 2 threads for Development (ie ROMs, kernels etc) discussions.
The one called Android Development deals with ROMs/kernels/tweaks etc that are "cooked" ie modified from STOCK.
The one called Android Original Development deals with ROMS/kernels/tweaks etc that are built from scratch (AOSP/AOKP) or are entirely original in their approach.

XDA sites for other variants of the Galaxy Note II (not N7100 or N7105) - applicable for sets from US Telcos
AT&T
Sprint
T-Mobile

Galaxy Charging Current (GCC)
The XDA thread describing what it does: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076078 - it's the ORIGINAL from the S3 thread
The other XDA thread describing it in the Note 2 thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2112811
Get it from here: GalaxyChargingCurrent APK

This is the best way of detecting incoming charge current for your Galaxy Note 2 (also works on the S3). It does not seem to work on other devices. It reads a file here /sys/class/power_supply/battery/current_avg
This provides an objective method to compare charging variances, and will help to narrow down slow charging issues. Very often it is the cable, or a combination of a lousy charger with the cable. The Note needs a charger that outputs at least 1.5A (with GCC readings of 1400 and above) for good charging speeds.

After extensive testing by forumers, and most notably brotan, good chargers output 1500 and above. brotan has a supply of DUAL USB, DUAL 2A output chargers that have been tested working by several forumers. He also has original cables that can carry 2A current properly.

Read brotan's extensive writeup on batteries and charging - brotan

Reported Issues/Problems encountered with the Note 2

Galaxy Note 2 problems: What users complain about - 2012/12/13

Hissing sound from your charger - you may claim warranty but note that accessory warranty is only 6 months

Proximity Sensor problem reported by syNzoR (check ADC value >9 via *#0*#) - syNzoR

XDA - For those who are NOT ROOTED yet your device status is "Modified"

Common problems with sdcards
placeholder - contributors requested
The Note 2 uses microSD cards. MicroSD (or sometimes abbreviated "usd/uSD" card since "u" looks like the Greek letter "micro") is the physical format of the card. The logical format (ie how the computer/phone sees it) can be FAT16, FAT32 or exFAT.
FAT32 officially supports up to 32Gb. Cards greater than 32Gb will default to 64Gb and be in exFAT format.
The most common 64Gb uSD card is currently the Sandisk Ultra Class 10.

Problem with Digitizer?

Introduction to Rooting and some intermediate level operations - Part 1


A bit of evangelisation before we begin:
10 reasons why Android is still better than iOS - AndroidAuthority - 2013-01-17
Read the comments for a feel of what people think after having read the article.

A very very brief description of phone architecture: portions of writeup credits to antt00 for clarification

The table shows components of the architecture from bottom to top. At the lowest level you have the physical hardware, then upwards you have the firmware and the rest. The userland is where the User (you) interact with the hardware using the programs/apps you installed.

I'm writing this because you are holding a portable COMPUTER that has phone capabilities. So you should treat your device like a COMPUTER first, and a phone and/or camera second.

A "ROM" typically contains a kernel, a radio (some have several you can choose from) and the userland. Some ROMs do not contain a kernel or you can elect not to install its default kernel and use the one you currently have.

The Baseband or Radio contains settings to connect to the transmission towers, while the CSC contains settings specific to your mobile operator in the APN list (eg Maxis 3G, Maxis Streaming, Celcom 3G/2G etc)

Component Changeable?Description
Rest of ROM (userland)
Y
eg monx, Alliance, Phoenix (usually "ROMS" include the kernel and radio as well)
Kernel
Y
eg Abyss, Perseus, Redpill
CSC (Carrier/Country Specific Code
Y
CSC settings include the APN (Access Point Names) list for your region's telco settings. Some ROMs contain multiple CSCs for more region support
Baseband (also known as Radio)
Y
eg DLK5, DLK7.
Recovery
Y
eg CWM, Philztouch, TWRP
Firmware begins:Bootloader
Y
This starts the phone booting process when you press the power button. It is also the location of flash counter. Triangle Away changes values here. The bootloader is UNLOCKED. However, there are no custom bootloaders yet for the Note 2.
Hardware (components)
N
Screen, Battery, the stuff you can touch

Of course someone like AdamOutler (on XDA) can mod the HARDWARE. That guy is a real guru.

You CAN mix and match components marked "Y" from different countries, kernel, ROMs etc. It's fine, although some Radio versions may give you reduced signal performance.

Now you can begin.


Rooting for Beginners - some general explanations and understanding

The simple, non-sexy, non-flashy, techie answer: root gives you administrator (ie God) access to your device.
Root DOES NOT change your phone in any other way. No speed-ups, no slowdowns, no other changes or magic. But it OPENS THE DOOR to magic icon_rolleyes.gif

Other answers using different metaphors:
Easiest Explanation EVER To Explain Root Vs Jailbreak
Think of it like the Matrix: Jailbreaking is comparable to what Morpheus could do. He could bend the rules of the system to overcome certain restrictions, but was still bound to its rules. Rooting is what Neo could do. Not only could he bend the rules, he could completely break them


Difference between ios Jailbreaking and Android Rooting
an excerpt:
Now while IOS users might consider jailbreaking their iPhone the same thing as Android users rooting their Android phones, there is a HUGE difference. In fact, you can't even compare jailbreaking to rooting, and here's why.
Android out of the box allows users to install 3rd party apps (also known as sideloading), already allows you to install themes, and even allows you to install applications directly from your SD card or internal memory of your device. Everything that IOS users hope to accomplish with jailbreaking their device is already included as basic functionality within Android.

Another article explaining Rooting
http://www.androidauthority.com/rooting-fo...ginners-144706/

Does Rooting Void warranty?
For Samsung phones, its a yes and no answer. From terms and conditions, rooting/flashing will void your warranty, but Samsung is not strict about this. So far there have not been cases of samsung rejecting rooted phones, but please be prudent and perform a Triangle Away counter reset and flash stock firmware before turning in your phone for warranty.

If you live in the USA, rooting (of phones only) is legal as proclaimed by the Librarian of Congress, so you shouldn't have any issues with warranty. The US legal system has not clearly defined what a "tablet" is, so you can't root tablets. We don't know the case for "phablets" laugh.gif

Can rooting damage your phone?
It is a one in a million chance. If you are afraid of this slim chance, don't root.
This usually happens due to PEBKAC issues. Therefore, if you are prone to PEBKAC, do not proceed. Please google PEBKAC for your OWN UNDERSTANDING AND PROTECTION.
If you do not suffer from PEBKAC, then please ensure 1 very important thing: your download is NOT corrupt. For Windows, use this tool:
http://www.implbits.com/HashTab/HashTabWindows.aspx
Make sure that your file MD5 matches the one from the host site. If the MD5 matches, your download is clean, and you may proceed.

There may be cases where you will not have the MD5 from the host site. If that is the case, use this tool: http://www.7-zip.org/
Install it. Select default options, and then run "Test archive" from the right click menu. Passing the test will give you a good indication your download is not corrupt.

What is the Flash Counter and Triangle Away?
There is a counter in the phone that checks for flashing of custom roms. If yoy have flashed a custom kernel or rom, the counter will increase. When you get into Download mode, it will show that the counter has increased. This tells Samsung that you have modified with your phone.
You can reset this counter by using Triangle Away.

See Part 2.

Useful Applications

One piece of advice. PLEASE CHECK APP PERMISSIONS BEFORE INSTALLING. An app should not have permissions beyond what its stated functionality should be. For example, a Wallpaper app should have NO PERMISSIONS. A Launcher will naturally have access to permissions for Calling and SMS and Phone Hardware (vibrate settings etc).

If you install MyHotSexyGirlLiveWallpaper with access to Calls, Network Status and SMS, then .... whistling.gif

dun bother, most likely these are moulding marks.  All the production units will be the same.  Besides, it is just a minor imperfection, doubt they will entertain any return or refund.  Just check the white unit, same marks visible.

Find it too macho for my wife.  Got 1 black and 1 white now - dun know which to keep.  rclxub.gif  both are so nice.  thumbup.gif

i was tempted to buy the white before, but all my friends were telling me to get the black since the white case on black(titanium grey) phone isn't as nice as the black case..

are you using titanium grey? Mind posting pics of the white case on the grey phone? =D
