Guys, I'm looking at the possibility of getting a Note 2 (also considering S4 but leaning towards Note 2 as of now).

May I check whether that all new phone now will come with 4.1.2 or 4.1.1? Is there still a need to worry about the eMMC bug or SDS?

Anyone noticed the sound vibrating strongly through the back cover during music or gaming session? The volume is not even turn up all the way. Feel that it's quite distracting and a bit uncomfortable to hold during these times.

I'm using a normal silicone cover but I tested it with and without the silicone cover. You definitely can feel the sound vibrating through the back cover especially near the speaker when you place your fingers on the back.


Haha definitely wouldn't be selling it bro. Just need to know whether this is suppose to be normal or not.

I double checked and the back cover is snapped tightly. Yea, it's the sound vibrating through the back. The louder the volume the stronger the vibration. Kinda like when you play loud heavy bass music and your speakers will vibrate as well.

I tested it even with the default ringtone of "Over the horizon". You can't feel it if the volume level is below 30% but once you set the volume above that it gets very noticeable especially around 60%-100%. You must hold the phone in the horizontal direction like when you're holding a game pad, that's where your fingers will lie naturally on the back cover (not holding the phone at the side with one hand).

Well if you guys could help test it out it will be much appreciated

Anyone? It doesn't even take 5 seconds to remove your casing to test it out.

No kidding. I got around 6++ hours screen on time on average before the battery drops below 10%. I think that's pretty good or could it be better? Heh
