Is there a way that when pictures are being taken the sound does not come on when taking the shot? I remember I had a mobile phone before where you can use an option for the sound to come on or not

Or use Wanam Exposed. It has an option that allows the shutter sound to be toggled on/ off.

Guys,

Does anyone know how to change the app which is presented when you double click the home button? I don't ever use S Voice so I'd like to replace it with something I do use.

Hi,

Got my note 2 via three ireland and its starting to show symptoms of the SDS bug (freezing and rebooting).

How long is the warrenty on these phones (ill have mine 1 year next week so I may need to get it looked at immediately if its a one year warrenty).

Thanks

Vodafone just pushed me out an upgrade to 4.3 Jelly Bean. Installed it and now I'm on N7100BUUEMK2

*sigh*
Mine's away for repair again, but the fonemenders website just leads to a splash page so I can't check the repair progress...

Anyone having any issues with 4.3? My lockscreen is acting weird and I'm missing calls. The lockscreen now enables missed calls to be displayed without unlocking the screen but when I click on the missed call notification a blurred square window appears on the lockscreen. It's as though an app is trying to do something but can't because the screen is locked.

I'm also noticing considerable battery drain.

Anyone else?

Watch this before you upgrade to 4.3

You have to swipe that blue box to see the notification.

Merry xmas

4.3 upgrade in the last few hours from Meteor

_Whimsical_

o2 pushed out 4.3 over Christmas.
So whats the verdict? Is it worth installing or more trouble than it's worth ?

deckie27

Well worth it

but it was crashing all over the place till i did a factory reset.

Will we see 4.4 on the Note 2 anytime soon?

If we are gonna get it we will be further down the list of priorities. The Note 3 and S4 will be first then between Note 2 and S3.

Ah, I assumed the Note 3/S4 already had it.

Has anyone encountered a note 2 being network unlocked then not registering on the new network?

standemancini

After I upgraded to 4.3, I noticed that the phone would go into Emergency Calls only mode i.e. it would not register with Meteor.

I thought it might just be a loose SIM, so I reinserted it but the problem continued. To get the phone to register each time, I had to turn the phone off and then on again.

I did a bit of research and it seems that others are having this problem.

However, the last few days have been OK so fingers crossed.

Super hoop

That's the issue I'm having. But no amount of switching on/off is making a difference.

I don't have any issues but I am on omega ROM.

I see a test build for 4.4.2 leaked for both the Galaxy S4 and also the Note 3. I wish they would leak one for the Note II just so I know they are going to update to the latest build.

Anyone know when 3 will push out 4.3 on my note 2?

I have no idea, just download and flash a generic one yourself.

Ahh been without my Note 2 now for just about a month...and I still have another two week wait.

Originally sent away over the Insane chip, and so it was forwarded on to Samsung, who then refused to fix it because of a very tiny scratch on my screen. I couldn't believe it lol *sigh*

Really, that's bad form on who ever was suppose to fix it. Did you ever root it and cause the flash counter to rise?

Well I did, I but I reversed it before it was sent off, they've never mentioned it anyway.

First it was sent away in August, over the Insane chip, it kept freezing and restarting the whole time. It was sent away to Fonemenders who did not fix it, and actually created two new problems.

Symptoms started up again, and I finally got round to sending it for repair mid December, and I've been waiting what feels like forever haha. I do miss it, I'm using a right brick at the moment...

Fonemenders are replacing the screen with one of their own, sending it back to Samsung, then when it's fixed they're putting my one back on.

I dropped my phone the other day and I'm after cracking the "Front Touch Lens" screen. Theres no dead pixels or parts of the screen that dont display

Besides the cracks on the outer screen I can see things clear enough. The outer screen only costs 15-20eur to get a replacement but everywhere I bring it tries to sell me a new screen for over 200eur

There supposed to be a nightmare to fit though. Does anybody know someone who fits them?
I have no problem paying for labour but 200 for a screen (not counting gettting it fitted) is a joke

Anyone experiencing issues with their Note 2, having updated to Android 4.3? My phone keeps dropping Mobile Data connection, and the only way to fix it is by restarting the phone (have tried toggling the Mobile Data switch, to no avail):mad:

thegreatiam

my note is away being repaired and when it gets back id like to get it unlocked.

three refuse as I still have 11 months on contract. Im still keeping my contract, but I need to get a pay and go sim while i do some traveling.
