Samsung Galaxy note 2 tips & tricks plus issues.

[timberland]

It will take about 2h15m to 2h30m to charge from 0% to 100%.

So assuming worst case ... 30min ~ 20%.

The original Samsung Galaxy Note 2 battery output is 2A. Please check the charger you have whether is it 2A. Also do you have another charger with 1A, charge with it and see how long it takes.

Mine takes 1hr to charge from 10% to 100%

Innergie 3A charger.

Anyone knows how to stop the note 2 from autolocking the phone after ending a call?

Mine doesn't locked after each call. Maybe the screen lock is triggered by the auto screen lock time that you set. Which means if you set to auto lock after 30secs, your phone will be locked if your call is more than 30secs.

1h15mins to charge 20%.

something is wrong with this right? Anyone with same issues? 3 day old samsung note 2. using stock charger cable plugged to wall socket

Absolutely very wrong with ur charger or batt based on ur charging timing

3100 x 20%= 620mah / 75 min = 8.26 mah per min



3100 / 8.26 = 375.3 min or 6.25hrs to charge from 0% -100%


My set took slightly less than 3 hrs to charge from 0

Hi, recently I have a problem with my Note 2 and hope I can get some help here. I can't seem to find the button to activate using the S Pen on the S Voice. Am I supposed to activate something on my phone or update my software or is it the problem of my phone?

The Double Tap to top doesn't even work in browsers in the first place.. Go in to motion settings and see what it actually does. Pretty limited. But this is Android, alternatives are plentiful.

True that note 2 suc k as it doesnt allowed direct transfer to phone without any software that note 1 could. U can get youself a sd card to transfer stuff at ease might as well dont waste phone space as currently all apps n games directly goes to internal .

U wont get struck as u can easily fetch $850 for ur mint phone in 2nd hand market as it is currently one of the most sought after phone right now. (Iphone5 no diff with 4s, s3 battery suc k balls, htc phone no market n windows phone dont need to say

Anyone has the same issue with me for sd card?

Few days ago the problem started. Each time i unlock my phone, i will receive notification stating "preparing SD card".. i ignored it thinking that its a small issue..

Today the card became completely unreadable. My phone cant detect the card... i try taking photo, its save into the sd card, i can view the gallery.. however after awhile its unreadable again..

Anyone facing the same issue? My sd card is sandisk..

Huh? True or not?

Cannot just plug in and use it from PC or Mac as a USB drive?

If true, won't get liao, else like the dumb iPhone need iTunes.

PC can.
Mac cannot.

I cant even use it on windows 7 pc. USB device not recognized.

$850 mint? whats the price of ip5 2nd hand? i might consider selling and getting ip5 again. 5days old and off to service centre for few days. Its more than mint.

 

[zercab]

PC can connect via USB leh. Win 7 64bit.
Mac also can (wif android file transfer)

some apple fanboys really just cant adapt to the new system of android. worse still, starts to bash here bash there. instead of bashing, just sell to those who really needs and wants note 2, and then go buy the fruit phone again lor.

First off, you didn't say whether you were charging with an original Note 2 charger head + charging cable.
Next, you complain about email double tap to top don't work. How hard is it to swipe upwards, really?
Then you say your Note 2 can't connect to your Windows 7 PC.


Seriously, go through so much trouble and regret your purchase? I dunno whether you got a lemon set or is really user problem but I'm inclined to believe the latter.
Yes better sell off and get an Apple phone.
