    How much memory is available to the user out of the 16GB internal memory?

    You cannot estimate this without clearing out the data for every app. Many apps cach data in memory, and the amount is based on what is available, for example, dropbox will cach more on the phone if there is more memory, but less if it is full. You can demonstrate this by looking at the free...

    How much available space should be in the Note 2 storage straight out of the box?

    It will depend on what is cached. If you have it connected to any cloud storage it will immediately stay to cache offline content. If there is lots of memory the cache can be quite large, and will shrink as you fill the memory with programs or data in the phone.

    My S Pen is acting up after I dropped My GN2 in water.

    This is common with S-pen. Was very common with GNote 1 but usually solved by banging the s'pen hard on the desk. My SPen on my GN2 acted up like this 2 days after got it likewise they would not replace the pen without replacing the phone so I bought new one.

    I have had the Zephyr for a month and it is great. Got it from Endomo via their website. I safe the $60 price but shipping to Canada was $30. Endomo was cheaper, and the app is great.

    AWS bands?

    I'll promise to contribute $25 to anybody or any organization that enables this. Not an issue for me in Canada, but would save me a lot of money when I travel to the US.

    HDMI-Out not working

    Thanks, now that I know it works for someone I will try again. Perhaps it is the power adapter - and do different TV's need differing amounts of power in the HDMI cable? this is the second time I have tried to post - will see if it works this time.

    HDMI-Out not working

    Have the Expansys microUSB to HDMI adapter and a Samsung TV, but can't get the phone to show on the TV. Without USB power, the TV said there was not cable attached. I plugged a microUSB cable into the side of the adapter and the TV did register that there was a cable attached, but no signal...

    First few days with my Galaxy Note

    I use my Galaxy Note to write notes at meetings. I use Swype with the pen- faster than just a finger and probably half as fast as I touch type. Sometimes I use my HP Blue tooth keyboard- works great. I do want a folding Bluetooth keyboard - like I used to have for my Palm T3 Andrew

    Thanks, given that when I ordered 2 weeks ago I would have ordered them anyway - it is currently still the only car dock available. Desk Docks seem to be coming out very quickly, but it looks to me like the new ones are generic, not limited by phone width which is great. However, what is the...

    Accessories - List Here

    Yes, the S-Pen holder is nice, but again, there is an opportunity for something much better - in the old PalmOS days, there was a multitude of screen pens with built in pens.
