Thank you so much for the quick reply.

I've install 1Market app on my Galaxy Note 2. Found Kindle app but when tried to download it was directed back to Google Play and the same message that Kindle App is not available in Singapore.

Sometimes when waking the phone, there a message sd card is removed.

Tried formatting using pc and system , both does not work.

Anyone encountered and solve this issue ?

Means your sd card is most likely going to spoil soon.
Try with another sd card and see if you have the same problem.

Cropping with S-Pen

Hi fellow N2 users, do you find any difficulties in cropping images using the S-Pen. I understand that we need to draw a complete shape in order to crop. But somehow, sometimes it works and sometimes don't. Its kinda irritating when i crop nicely but it didn't capture. So really need help on that. Is there any tips or tricks in cropping images with S-Pen? Thanks in advance

This is strange. I can run the kindle apk. But can't press the install button. Lol. All I can do is press cancel.

edit: i solved my problem by disabling my xposed installer mod.

issued fixed in 4.1.2

I'm on 4.1.1 , what I discovered is when I Disable the Svoice it became very annoying like what u have describe, but when I enable back Svoice then back to normal, the problem lies with the Svoice , bro maybe u try to enable/Disable the Svoice on the new 4.1.2 fw to confrim whether it has been fixed

Just use a third party SMS app like mySMS as recommended by one of the bros here.

hi guys, do anyone of you have this Media Volume control issue?

Happens only when you have a earpiece connected to your phone, and for some reason after hear your songs/watch movie, and when you switch to other media, there would be no sound.

The volume button would then be stuck at mute level...very annoying...anyone has any work-around for this...? or even experience this b4..?


And another, also on volume. Everytime i plug my headphone and plays a song, the volume would be set at FULL BLAST very freaking time when i usually set it to 9-10 most of the time during my previous session! Why....?! Every new session would require me to choose a soothing song 1st so that my eardrums won't explode if it was a rock song...

someone pls help thnx..

weird sound

I have this weird 2-tone beep coming from my Note 2 and I have no idea which app it came from!
It beeps occasionally and it is neither my FB new message, or low battery.
and it is driving me crazy!!

try turning off NFC. and maybe the S beam too. had the same thing with an S3 with a flip cover that contained an ez link card. turns out the nfc is constantly beeping at the detection of the ez link card.
