with music playing, tap the power button and "palm" the lock screen.
the music should pause without unlocking

negative I had all that turned off!! Anyway I just copped it. about time. :rolleyes: Turns out it was a SLIGHT twig of the headphone jack when putting it in my pocket. I have one of those L shaped jacks with big cans - when position so that the L goes across the top of the phone rather than let it overlap over the edge, the wire was catching on my pocket and pulling the connection.



NOW, it was BARELY moving it at all the jack must be ubber sensitive. i.e it can continue playing a tiny bit out! Anyway, when I have it over the outer edge problem solved. Never had this issue before just glad I found out how to replicate it this was driving me NUTS!

Where's the best place to get one of these at the moment guys? Sim Free preferred.

Any bricks n mortar's doing decent trade-ins? I have a Note 1 I'd be looking to change.

Any decent phone holders for the car available?

I have this one for about €6 delivered http://dx.com/p/car-portable-device-gadget-holder-and-windshield-mount-1043

Had it for my previous phone and it holds the Note 2 just fine both in landscape and horizontal mode.

6400 yes, but the 3200 only gives 3% longer battery life. Definitely not worth the €35 it costs!

I agree, it was the announcement of the 6400mah that cought my eye. There's very few tablets out there that have batteries that size and in that case they're not even replaceable.

isn't the battery big enough tho,im in no rush to get the extended battery especially if it means it's going to make it bigger

This arrived in the post today. Good fit, adds minimal extra bulk and looks good on the phone. Far superior to the flip cover in my opinion and cheaper too.

Link to buy? Looks good. Have a flip myself.

Perfect.

YMMV.

Hey all, I am nearly certain that I will be getting the Note 2 from Santa, the choice is between the Note 2, Galaxy S3, iPhone 5 or to wait for next big thing.

Opinions please? How do those who have the phone find it?

I've owned a couple of big phones, from Palm Treo, to Dell Streak 5 to a Note 1 and now the Note 2. I use mine mostly for browsing/email, the odd text and not much at all as a phone If this fits your use case, go for it. The stylus is a really cool feature not present on the other phones you mention. I can never see myself using a screen any smaller than 5".

Get an iPhone 5 and I'll travel to Cork and slap you

I have both the Iphone 5 and the Note 2 and it's horses for courses in my opinion.
If your main use was voice calls with a little browsing/reading I would take IOS and the iphone every time.
If the balance is vice versa like myself at work, i.e little calls, lots of reading, flipboard, surfing etc. plus a bit of "playing" customising etc.then the Note wins every time.
