from what i know the default lockscreen will show when a new message comes in but it will not show the contents.

did a search but cant find anything on this, is there anyway to use the phone as a usb storage? the mtp option is really too slow. I read somewhere that this option has been removed since ICS, is that correct? or samsung itchy hands took it out themselves? Coz i was using HTC one x and this option was there all along.

Thanks for the help!

My note 2 charger is hissing like a snake when charging. Anyone else have this problem?

It's actually a hidden feature, also known as "Snake charging".
To disable, simply unplug the cable. To enable, plug it in again.
Cool right?

Any bros out here got problems with the lock screen? Recently I realise once awhile my lock screen will have white lines appearing across the screen when I charge or like press the volume button when the phone is locked.


TIA

Latest version of flash player cannot work, must be version 11.1.115.20, download it as a apk file, transfer to main download folder in your n2 and use a appinstaller to install it.

Which website are you accessing?

I don;t seem to have problem running websites that require flash.

Hi guys,

Anyone here have any problem with Media volume? If I mute the device or switch it to vibration mode.. I cant get the media volume control to work again. Even if i switch to sound mode.. I tried going onto music player or video player and up the volume by pressing the volume button but it didnt work.. The only way to get the media volume back again is to go into a full screen game and press the volume button.. Anyone have the same problem as me?

Please advice.. Thanks

Anyone ever encountered the ,!? symbol popup not popping up in Swiftkey kb?

Also the default kb in default SMS app sometimes also won't show up.

Anyone encountered it before?

for me the pop up comes if i press and hold on to the button. otherwise it doesn't. one other problem is that the keyboard doesn't automatically close when i go out of the sms app.

Just tested on my n2, no such problem as what you described.

Press and hold will show the 4 symbols for selection; quick press will not show.

Yes I know. What I meant was even after I did a long press the selection did not popup. Got to exit the app before it appears again.

However during any instance where the popup did not appear, I could still select the ? by sliding it to the far right "invisibly".

Just install and try out yourself, if cannot work then uninstall it.
