upon further research, i would suggest sucking it up for the time being, i havent read about or found anything about a downgrade to 4.1.2 working. i read alot about possible bricking your phone. so hang tight hopefully samsung fixes this mess another bug i have noticed is the led...

IDK if it trips counter, but you should be able to goto sammobile firmware download your carriers 4.1.2 and flash via odin. ive also thought about this option

i agree the new lockscreen is fubar'd. samsung messed it completely up. less efficient, not intuitive at all. i installed dashclock as an alternative, but imo that is bs, there is no reason to have to install something else to make it work the way it should.

i manually checked for update this morning and to my surprise 4.3 update was available (baseband i317mvlucmk5). so far it seems abit quicker/snappier, could be my imagination. my battery has been draining quicker than usual but that could be because ive been exploring/navigating quite a bit to...

i agree rooting to get time sync to work is extreme. i also agree that this is a telus network problem. as i can be upto 5 minutes off when i wake up in the morning with my phone on my bedside table. it will be back to normal after 2 minutes if i go downstairs into my kitchen.

well i gave up, i rooted my phone and put clocksync on it. ridiculous that the clock is off. so freaking annoying. i am averaging drift 280-320 second per day.

update -using only automatic date and time(use network provided time) lost me about 2 minutes the other day. setting time to be within 1 second of atomic clock with use network provided time unchecked lost me 4-5 minutes over night. automatic timezone was checked. so now i am completely lost...

update - i am back in an urban area, the city with good coverage and over an 8 hour time period i lost roughly 2 minutes. so there goes the gps theory. completely fed up, i called telus mobility, tech support there says he has seen it before, he says it either one of two things. try to use...

I'm starting to think gps is the problem. As i have been noticing my weather app is not updating my location. And even if I try to manually update its not finding where I am at.

My understanding of nitz or ntp is lacking, though I believe my problem is linked to one of these 2 in some fashion. I never considered gps, but which could be explained since they current area I am in my garmin gps drops in and out of signal. But if I am going into flight mode doesn't that...

I shouldn't be roaming on another network, telus is a Canadian national provider, but idk their tower agreements. Strange thing here is my wife's blackberry on the same network is fine but I'm thinking that's due to bis I'm thinking it's a network problem since I am in the mountains, I'm sure...

I'm sorry, I meant restart not factory reset. Restart only temporary resolves problem. As of last night I've lost a minute already. I did not have this problem until 5 days ago, I am currently travelling in the mountains, I too believe it's a network problem but as tasty says I have tried...

My note 2's clock is losing time. I have it set to auto retrieve from the network (telus) and its off, sometime upto 15 minutes wtf? Reset or flight mode will temporarily solve the problem. I've tried to even manually set the clock faster and it still loses time. Someone please advise it is...

just got myself a note 2 also, former blackberry user here. i am quite satisfied so far, trying to get over the little quirks

i just got a note 2, i am happy, but if you are always waiting on bigger better you will always wait. there will always be something with newer processor or what not, as soon as you buy something theres always something that comes out that you think is better. get what you thinks suits your...
