    Kit Kat observations on the Verizon Galaxy Note 2

    Grumpy, I don't know if this is Something that will work for you or not but using Google Drive to sync files works great.

    is it possible to revert back to 4.1.2?

    All upgrade are a one way street. The only way to go back is to Root it. Which you would want to do anyway if you didn't want constant reminders and requests for you to update. Brandon

    Verizon Galaxy Note 2 - How do I make my videos full screen?

    Did you take the video in portrait (home button on the bottom) or landscape (home button to the right or left)? It will record the video as it looks on the screen so if in portrait mode it will be tall not wide. I always have my phone turned to the side in landscape mode so I get the full...

    Anyone have problems with Pandora?

    I use it every work day for approx. 7 hours. No issues what so ever. I don't pay for Pandora 1 so my only gripe is the commercials. Not sure why you are getting that. Is it still doing it after a clean install? Brandon

    Verizon Galaxy Note 2 - You Tube questions.
