that backup and restore option on the phone... it will just backup some settings like the wifi AP you connected to, your apps installed (so when you check auto restore, after wipe, it will auto download back all the apps). i'm not sure if it will also auto restore your Google accounts.

so, to be on safe side:
* contacts: check to confirm you have saved your contacts to Google/ Gmail. <-- quick check by logging into web Gmail and check your contacts
* photos: make a copy of the photos on microSD (unless you have dropbox and Google photo to auto backup to cloud) or just connect to PC and copy out all the photos
* whatsapp: there's an option in Whatsapp to backup your chats. Press that to force a manual backup. after that, copy out the whatsapp folder from your phone. the whole folder. <-- after you wipe your phone, copy back this folder BEFORE you install and setup whatsapp. When you setup whatsapp, it will detect this folder and ask if you want to restore. just say YES and it will restore everything for whatsapp.

hope that helps.

I suggest you to flash a custom ROM if you're out of warranty. 4.4.2 for N2 has nothing new.

just to update... can't format the card -- halfway through, it'll fail. deleted files don't actually get deleted. they re-appear after a while. i think its some how 'locked'.

tried format and delete from phone and PC. failed.

spoke to seller (IPmart) about this. they have asked to ship back my card to them so they can process the warranty.

at the same time, saw the 64GB cards are getting cheaper. there's even Kingston deal on Groupon:
http://www.groupon.my/deals/national-deal/...a-276/718271427
64GB microSDXC: 1 set for RM145 instead of RM230
64GB microSDXC: 2 sets for RM279 instead of RM460 (only RM139.50 per set)

thinking of getting another... Sandisk or Kingston?

I suggest go for Kingston

Only 10MB/s min. data transfer rate.......If budget not a problem, go for 48Mb/s

i thought its class 10 and they just mention as minimum speed... i was definitely expecting more.

In my experience, Kingston tends to give you the minimum they can get by with. So don't expect more than 10mb/s. Sandisk gets up to 13mb/s on my reader.

my SanDisk is currently leaving a bad after taste in my mouth... heh heh...

IPMart says it may take weeks to months for warranty claim... ouch.

so i guess... might as well try Kingston. kinda cheap. rm145.

i think i might just go grab one... dem... i have too many of these storage devices... microSD, external hdd, pen drives, etc... :S

whoa... was just scrolling further down the Groupon page and saw this:



Dimensions: 3.7cm (L) x 2cm (W) x 1.1cm (H)
Capacity: 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB
64GB USB drive: 1 unit (RM169 value) + delivery (RM7 value) for RM150 instead of RM176
see:
http://www.groupon.my/deals/national-deal/...a-410/718394876

this is even better! can even be used on phones without microSD (as long as got OTG support).

*sigh* decisions, decision... this or Kingston...

only wished this one had USB3.0.

hi guys, i was just wondering: after upgrading to kitkat, did anyone of you noticed that the bass of the note 2 went from "tight & punchy" to loose & a bit weak. using Rock EQ, Sherwood SE777 IEM.

just wondering, probably it's just me.

Maybe my note 2... lol.. my fren note 2 also lag and slow too... very subjective i guess...

I use Greenify donate / paid version. And Greenify does help a lot, I hibernated nearly everything lol.

Trying CM based rom, Android 4.4.3 version AOSB rom
the new update to the stock camera is a very big plus, can take 360 degree photo and the lens blur effect

and able to customize CM theme and ease in changing boot animation

The S Pen / Note feature can use? If not then our Galaxy Note is useless lol. Depends loh.

And here's my battery lIfe on stock ND4. Awesome 8 hours SOT
