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?

Have this issue on my n2 also.. irritating.

If you are using another Android phone ... then download the app :

SMS Backup & Restore

Backup your sms-es from your old phone and then copy the backup file over to your new Note 2 and restore back from there.

PS : Don't have to "check for duplicates" when you restore.

I found out an easy way to transfer all iphone calendar contacts sms songs photos to n2. Use itunes to backup all data then use easy phone sync. Then use handcent sms to mark all read.

I Just downloaded flash Player the latest Version of version 4 but I stream az drama still cannot leh. Can play but the screen play f up leh. Got sound but cannot watch lo. How

Like this?



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.

Tried with 11.1.115.27. No problems playing.

Did you root your phone? If you did, I have a solution but you need to have widgetlocker pro which is a lockscreen replacement.
