    Unless your planning on downloading stuff I wouldn't be so upset about it. Do remember, 4G = Faster Speeds, Faster Speeds = Faster Battery drainage.

    Galaxy Nexus charger is 1 amp, the note 2 charger is 2 amps, so it would work but in twice the time

    If you use an older 1 amp charger block, it will charge but takes ages (like way way longer than the actual galaxy note 2 charger block).

    Most (all?) newer phones come with a 2amp charger which should be fine...

    What types of issues are yous sending in for? Warranty repairs? Or like broken screens?

    As a matter of interest, what's the warranty period on the Note 2 - is it 1 or 2 years?

    Mines going in for a warranty repair. It keeps freezing and retarting itself. There seems to be something going on with the battery as well.
    From what I've read, I think there's a two year warranty.

    Mine is a similiar problem

    Got it back yesterday.

    They did feck all with it.

    And after having it on for 16 hours. This morning it went loopy again.

    Crashing restarting etc. Only way to stop the cycle was to hard power it off (hold power buttton) for about 6-7 seconds

    Definetly this morning it was triggered by me turning off my wifi i noted exactly what happened. I will monitor and rscord it for the next few days and send it back for repair. I might contact samsung about in stead of fonfix via meteor shop.

    My mothers note 2 is having similar issues. Freezing sometimes and powering off and requiring a battery pull. Especially when GPS is in use.

    First I thought It was the custom ROM I left on her phone before, but even on stock, with a clean wiped setup its happening. So hardware is failing slowly

    This is exactly why I went straight to Samsung instead of Meteor. Hopefully they'll properly fix mine :(

    Hi guys, If you are interested, there is a leaked 4.3 original Samsung rom available on xda. Works well, better battery life and much quicker.
    I noticed slow reaction to automatic brightness - sometimes too dark. Also, i cant connect to all-share dongle :(

    I sold my unlocked 16GB with a small ding on back cover with perfect screen (and 2 cases) for €340. If the scratches are on front of screen I'd be looking for less than that..

    How did you go straight to Samsung? How does the returns process compare to going via Meteor?

    I went to this link http://www.samsung.com/ie/support/erms1
    I sent them an email telling them what was going on with the phone. They rang me back a day or so later to organise getting the phone sent in for warranty repair.
    They sent my details on to Fonemenders, who sent me out a jiffy bag and a form to fill out. The postage was already paid and everything, so just filled out the form, and popped the phone in.
    I only sent it earlier today, so, we'll see how long it takes, it says they aim to have it done in five working days, unless it needs to be escalated to a different team or something.

    I couldn't compare it to how it works with Meteor, because I haven't gone to them for a repair before, but it just made more sense to me to go directly to the manufacturer who would be more familiar with issues that their products have.

    I was thinking of getting a Note 2 but the last few posts seem to say its riddled with problems.

    I had a Note and I love the big screen.

    What would people recommend?

    thanks

    People generally don't post to say their phone is working fine, so you're always going to see a disproportionate number of people complaining of issues. I had a Note 2 for nearly 1 year, sold it recently and there was never an issue with it, worked perfectly (and had far better battery life after 10 months than my brand new HTC One does now).

    +1. Have no issues to report. Phone is rock solid. Posting this from mine in fact.

    Haha yeah I'm sure this thread doesn't make the phone look good at all recently, but seriously, I'd still recommend the phone even if every single one had the issue I had lol.

    Mimes been perfect, on my second (insurance replacement) due to water damage and no problems with either. As the price point is close you'd be mad not to look at the Note 3 too. It's a nice step up from the 2. Not a huge difference but it's a lot snappier.
