One thing bout G-Note 2 that really, really bothers u

[Foolo]

gn2 makes me have a lot fewer choices on my future smartphone purchases, got spoiled by the battery life, screen size, external sd card...

My only complaint is the bug that sets default keyboard back to the stock Samsung keyboard after power cycling or battery pull. I just find it annoying since I'm running 2 batteries so I do a battery pull about once a day.
I love everything else about my Note 2, best device ever without a doubt.

I have seen a few other complain about it. I like the samsung keyboard but the ability to create and use autotext in smart keyboard pro is a must for me.

The swipe function on the music player lags a little and sometimes doesn't respond at all. And the power button placement.

The font size option in settings does not apply to the notification area. You could cset your font size to Huge and your notification area woukd look exactly as it does now.

Only two complaints so far:

1) lock screen is slow to come on after pushing home or power button. I hit either and see a black screen for a few seconds.

2) It keeps telling me I'm removing my memory card and that it's blank. It fixes itself but then does it again. I ordered a 64 gb from Amazon so hopefully no more issues.

Other than that, this phone is amazing. Still getting used to the size coming from s3, but i love all new features.

Ya and the samsung keyboard does not have arrows to move the cursor forward and back. What is up with that?
What also bothers me is the screen is so large that others around you feel the need to read your text messages over your shoulder! That pisses me off.

Those incredibly annoying TouchWiz home screen indicator dots. Can't get rid of them, and it takes up an entire row. Big waste of screen space, and one of the main reasons I installed Nova Launcher, even though I give up S-Pen functionality.

What app are you using? I tried the default email app with the live.com option & it didn't work for me. Then I tried the "other" option & it worked fine.

 

[EatMyTracers]

yea I tried the stock app, I'll try the other option. Just tried other and it still didn't work.

I love my Note 2 but if I have anything to complain about it would be the S-Pen not working with the Menu / App Drawer / Back buttons. I've gotten in the habit of using the pen all the time and it's a usability issue when you have to re-adjust how you hold the phone so you can press those damn buttons with your fingers instead of the pen. Is there a solution for this? (like software key of some sort?)

When the S3 came out I loved Samsungs use of capacitive Menu and Back buttons and the single actual home button but now with the Note 2 and the number of times I use the S-Pen it is getting kind of annoying when I'm so used to tapping all over the screen with the S-Pen and then accidentally tapping the back or menu button with it to no avail.

It's not the end of the world, just a very minor annoyance. This is probably my only complaint with the phone so far other than still occasionally running into comfort-ability levels when holding such a large phone for an extended period of time.

I wouldn't trade it for anything though.

If I had to pick one thing I hate about my gnote2 at the moment, it's how the widget list takes FOREVER to load, and once it does it tends to lag a lot Makes me avoid playing with widgets as much.

 

[DroidXcon]

I hate that I only have 1.

One more thing that's annoying is that I want to use Swiftkey but i'm forced to use the default keyboard because I want the ability for the keyboard to automatically detect when I have the S-Pen out and switch to handwriting mode. I use handwriting mode quite a bit so physically going into settings and choosing the default Samsung keyboard and then opening the handwriting pane everytime I need to write something (i.e. text messages, facebook posts, twitter posts, webpages, forum posts, etc...) would be too annoying so Swiftkey lays dormant sadly.

I may switch back to Swiftkey once flow comes out but I'd really like it if the developers could allow for handwriting mode AND even one-handed operation mode. Come on Swiftkey, help us Note 2 owners out!

Thanks. I was contemplating on downloading the Swiftkey app but now I don't want to anymore because I use the voice to text feature and handwriting feature a lot too.

Home button is a real button. Gps or the nav isnt accurate. .. I missed 4 turns already! Ive had 3 out of 8 dropped calls.
I feel bad writing anything since this is the best phone I've had yet
