Is it easy to root?

I want to root mine because att is horrible! Just haven't done enough research.

What are the advantages of rooting? I don't want to mess with the phone in case more updates are given.

 

[destefmx6]

Really easy. I was worried I was going to screw something up by doing it, but as I can tell, all it does is give the owner admin privileges. It doesn't change anything. If I see anything remotely different, I will post!
pros:
use of titanium backup
you can uninstall att crapware!!

That's what I spent the last week doing, researching root. Then I finally got the update to 4.1.2 and it kinda p'd me off. At&t cut some of the good stuff! So away I went I would say always research first, and be prepped for any issues that might come up. I made 2 backups with 2 diff programs before I did it. Neurotic OCD.....lol

I'm not a programmer, so hopefully someone who knows about it can tell us. I do see that the permissions and the ability to remove att's bloatware made it a "go" for me.

I had 600 hours left before checking for an update. Set the clock forward and gave it a try and it's currently downloading the update.

Yep, that date trick works WONDERS (despite the naysayers out there).

 

[Soap4Me]

Got my update "without" the date trick. It arrived when it hit my area. Just like AT&T kept telling me it would. It only had a 10% rollout a day.

All the date trick does is allow you to once again try to update without waiting 24 hrs. If the update is not there then it accomplishes nothing. If the update is there the software update app will see it as long as it can run.

Exactly.

I got mine this week. I still cannot believe how long it takes to get updates on Android. And I had never seen this type of selective scattered roll out. You would think AT&T could afford to have enough resources for a quicker roll out.
Other than that, the update is running well (better?)

If you have the update and want to add additional apps to Multi-View, it can be easily done.

Anyone encountering any bugs since the update? The only thing I have noticed, and it's happened twice so far since the update, is that sometimes the screen will fail to rotate from portrait to landscape. Doesn't matter what app you are using. A power off/restart solves the problem. It doesn't seem to be related to a setting because it works normally and then it just doesn't.

 

[TheOtherBill]

Yes, that happened to me, but only once (fingers crossed).

That is AT&T ROM not being stable or just lagging.....
That is one reason to root and flash a different (better) ROM on to your awesome Galaxy Note 2.

Thankfully no...
