Thanks for the info. I just updated my Stock ROM and found this.
Try it out and just afraid there was charges in it.

Anyway, thanks again...

You can try to go Pandan Indah service centre. My girlfriend's Note II was hit by SDS too last month and eventually need to replace the motherboard. It costs RM550 and was given 1 month warranty.
Refer to my previous post.

Did you get an asnwer to this? I'm also trying to figure out cos Knox etc etc i'm confused. Anyone can advise?

Thanks.

If you flash with Mobile Odin Pro, there is an option called "Everroot" that injects root into your newly flashed ROM.

As for Knox, if your device is already out of warranty, then ignore it.

However, you may want to take note whether it shows Knox Warranty 0x0 or 0x1 in Download mode, just so you know the flag status.

How do I use my android phone effectively without google
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1...tively_without/

My current setup:

Thrown out: Gmail. Google Contacts. Google Calendar. Dropbox too, because f*** the NSA snooping my data.
Email at fastmail.fm. It's not free, but once in, you will wonder how you ever managed to survive the bloated monster gmail has become. You quickly realize gmail is slow and horrible.
Email migration was done via imapcopy.pl following this guide.
owncloud hosted on my own NAS. Provides me with Dropbox/Drive-like functionality and terrabytes of space, not to mention calendering and contact-management based on open standards. Only a webserver with PHP is required. MySQL-storage is recommended over SQLite if you plan to add clients all over the place.
CardDAV Sync Beta to get my owncloud contacts on my phone.
CalDAV Sync Beta to get my owncloud calendar on my phone.
Tasks to get access to tasks from my calendar as well.
ownCloud client because that just fits into the overall picture.
MailDroid. Because it's the prettiest email-client out there. I prefer the Pro-version, because I don't like ads. K9 may be completely free, but it's dog ugly, especially on a modern HDPI device running a holo-themed OS.

Voila. I'm still on Android and enjoy the freedom that it offers, but I get to keep my data mine, and don't have to worry about Google creep. I get to decide what apps to use to access my data, because all components involved are based on open standards.

Now, if something better which is not Android comes along, I will be able to seamlessly try that out without waiting and hoping that Google will eventually "support" it. That's the power of taking ownership of your own data. It feels good!

TLDR: No need to jump from one closed ecosystem to another. It wont bring you any good.

Edit: This can also be integrated into desktop email-clients like Thunderbird through SOGO connector, both for contacts and calendering. It's not at all limited to Android.

Edit 2: Another benefit is that from your phone's point of view (not to mention other clients), things like calendar, contacts and email are now 100% completely separate sub-systems, which puts you at must greater liberty to mix and compose best-of-breed services as you see fit.

anyone facing Waze bug?
Dun have sound after update to android 4.3.

no wor

If SDS under warranty period, we need to pay?

No.

If they do ask you to pay... then make a fuss and call the manager.

Hi I saw ur previous post and called in samsung service centre to clarity regarding this issue but upon checking with their service centre HQ, Price remain firm at RM700.

Sometimes need go there BEG one... service center nowadays... haihhhh

Went with my friend for cracked screen replacement... bla bla bla tok cock, say only two months old, very broke bla bla bla... get 20% discounts.

Parts wise they wont discount, I think they just deduct from the labor.

Anyone is on Ditto ROM?

Ok updated d. Tapi forgot to take note of the warranty like you advised. What would i need it for?

Thank you

I am. But not the latest one though.

Did you do a dirty flash from 4.3?

Before this i had tried any single methods that has inside here and XDA forum (EFS backup and restore method, flashed different firmware, flashed custom rom), but none of it successful. I still failed to retrieve my IMEI (lost IMEI 0049XXXX) or get my network ('not registered on the network' issue) working. The only way is, use older firmware which is XXDMC3 (4.1.2) and below (by doing this i have no issue with IMEI or network, everything is normal).

Then here it came, the 4.3 XXUEML3 pop up on my device (OTA), i am so happy that day and straight away perform an update and was hoping with this new firmware/update can help solve my problem. BUT, again my IMEI lost and cannot make a call and this time is worst, with this new samsung KNOX security, it won't allow my note 2 to downgrade to the older version and block ODIN (encounter error while flashing). It even triggered my device KNOX WARRANTY VOID to '1'. Hell yeahh. Hahaha.

So i was stuck with the latest 4.3 firmware with IMEI broken hence cannot receive or make any call.

Now this is good part. What did I do?

1. Flash custom recovery on my Note 2 (4.3) via ODIN.
2. Search for a XXDMC3 based custom ROM @ XDA and managed to flash the ROM via recovery mode and able to get back my original IMEI and phone work as normal (rooted).
3. Reset custom binary download to zero/No ('KNOX WARRANTY VOID : 1' remained).
4. Flashed back to 4.3 XXUEML3 (with broken/lost IMEI).
5. Today went to Samsung service center @ Wisma Bently to claim for warranty. Tell the samsung staff/technician the whole story (except the rooting/custom flash part ). And tell them that my knox triggered due trying to downgrade to the older firmware since i have broken IMEI with the latest samsung 4.3.
6. They open a case number for me and ask me to wait for a while. After 30min, my phone is ready. I have back my original IMEI with the latest 4.3 firmware.

I did asked the technician what is the problem. He said my device's modem having a problem to read the latest firmware hence make the IMEI lost but it is only a software related issue.

Btw, i am so glad that my problem solved and have a chance to taste the Kit Kat sooner or later on my note 2 (if any laa ) For your guys info, my warranty will be ended @ 5th Jan 2014, just around the corner bro, fiiuuhhhh

No, I didn't. Upgraded from JoelDroid's 4.3 with full wipe.

Just tried dirty flashing, soft bricked.

May I know how to disable those unused app?
