how does one do a factory reset if the home screen is still locked?

what to do if you completely forget the PIN to the lock screen? or is the phone as good as bricked?

I'm waiting for a phone with holographic display! :)

Walk into any Best Buy, Walmart or other electronics retailers.... there are always dozens of 1920x1080 HDTVs on display. Prices range from $500 to $5000. You get what you pay for. (even if they are all 1920x1080 HDTVs) :) I imagine the same can be said about smartphone 1920x1080...

The manager at the corporate T-Mobile store is my wife's co-worker's grandson. I was chit-chatting with him the other day. According to him, there is ZERO chance of 3G upgrade. 2G is all we'll get for the next 3 to 5 years.... then if we're lucky, maybe upgrade straight to 4G. (very big IF)

32 years isn't that far away. (go back 32 years and Ronald Reagan was still in office :) ) If humans can continue to "live" in the cloud, does the US government have to continue pay them social security every month... That ought to bankrupt social security much faster than anticipated. :(...

Not to mention that Apple, Inc will sue Google.... yes, Apple invented it first. :) Perhaps Apple has already patented it. :)

why does the Verizon Galaxy Note 2 battery have a different part number than the GSM Note 2? EB595675LZBXAR for Galaxy Note? II Standard Battery (3100mA) (Verizon & US Cellular) Link to Samsung website EB595675LABXAR for Galaxy Note? II Standard Battery (3100mA) GSM version Link to Samsung...

what do so many areas still only have 2G service from T-Mobile? Will they ever be upgraded to 3G?

well.... I say let them experiment. Perhaps there will be a Google page allowing people to sign up for the pilot program? I'm willing to sign up.

Just make sure you keep the credit card information up to date on a regular basis... or they'll cancel your subscription and wipe everything off. :( I've been saying that Google is Skynet and nobody listened to me.... tin foil hat off...

After I got the most recent 4.1.2 update, I did a factory reset my Note 2, all the timers went to zero....

What's next? "We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile." Hope not... :(

is there a way to view the total call timer?(starting from the date the Note 2 was activated) on my al-cheapo Verizon flip phones, there's a setting that displays the lifetime call timer, monthly caller timer, etc.... does my Note 2 keep this data?

sorry... my fingers slipped.... I only have my imperfect human brain. :(
