    When will the price drop?

    Ok, patiently waited for MWC to be done, but the price is still not dropping! Any wise person here that has insight into when the price might drop on this? I sooo want to get one of these. Should I wait a bit longer? How much longer?

    Axon 7 nougat update is now live. Check for update

    Has there been a change to the User Interface after Nougat. Only thing holding me back from getting the Axon 7 is the reviews saying that the UI is clunky/heavy etc. I read somewhere that they were changing the UI to make it lighter/nicer. Has that happened? This is the only issue keeping me...

    Axon7 + Nougat. Is Software Interface better than before? More stock like?

    The only thing holding me back from getting the Axon 7 is the reviews pointing out that the custom interface from ZTE is heavy/clunky/slow. Noticed on one article that the ZTE was going to change the software interface to make it nicer/more stock-like along with the Nougat update. Has this...

    Re: Which smartphone manufacture has the best Gps,Wifi and Cell radios in there phone. Same here, I spend more time with Google Maps on my Note 2. Voice calls, Google Maps, and general WiFi need for file sync, are the most used and most critical functions for me. They all need top performance...

    Connecting Kies on PC with Galaxy Note 2 - Kies via WiFi - solved: Symantec firewall issue

    Great! Very nice of you to post back to the thread with detailed information for others to follow. That is correct. You will still have a local .pst file for local things, but the Exchange folders will sync to a different set of files (.ost, I think). But all that should not matter. It should...

    Task Manager does not show some apps?

    Hi thanks for the response. The Google sign-in is accessed this way: Settings/Account/Google/Sync Now Sign-in fails and shows a notification. Selecting notification takes me to the sign-in page. Signed in, and got a message "Have to log in on the web" (this is because I have 2-factor...

    Connecting Kies on PC with Galaxy Note 2 - Kies via WiFi - solved: Symantec firewall issue

    Hi, I haven't tried this, but my assumption would be that the term "same WiFi network" is really meaning on the same local network. All that WiFi does is to enable a device to talk to the router without a wire. I would move forward with the assumption that the PC and the phone just have to be on...

    Task Manager does not show some apps?

    Hi I am having trouble toggling between the Google sign-in app and other apps. When I switch to another app, and then try long-pressing the Home button, it does not show me the Google sign-in app that I was last in. Is there some way to get back to that sign-in app/page through the task manager?

    *newbie to Android* PC and Kies does not detect Note 2, please help. :'(

    Juanita, did you get confirmation from somewhere that Kies over WiFi does not work for Note 2? I am having this issue, and it is a big let down, having just bought the Note 2. Update: Solved the problem that I was having - firewall issue. See my post here.

    Syncing Note 2 with Outlook 2013?

    I have been looking into this too. I have been looking for a wireless (local wireless not cellular) mechanism. Most of the options there seem to be a cloud solution, that I don't want. I want a direct sync between my phone and my computer - wirelessly - ideally bluetooth. CompanionLink was one...

    My complete gesture based Note 2!

    Very nice! Thank you for sharing this. One of the issues that is preventing me from committing to the Note is the fact that the 2 buttons interfere with handwriting using the S-Pen - due to the palm resting on/touching the button. It seems like your solution will help disable those buttons...

    Is there a huge difference between SD cards?

    Check the class of the card. For shooting and storing video you need a Class 10 I believe. Yes there are lots of differences between a good card and a bad one. Check the read & write speeds on each. Also, the longevity of the cards can differ.

    First 12 hours with Note 2

    lpt2569, we are in a capitalist system. Everybody is trying to make money. Necessary to survive in this system. Even we as individuals are. The difference is in a pay for use/ownership vs. free, but I will stick advertising in your face as and when I please it, and whatever I choose to. I would...
