    You can have a movable onscreen back button using button savior non-root or back button no root apps from the play store. Also there should be an option for touchwiz onscreen buttons in the accessibility section in settings.

    If I upgrade to 4.3, could I downgrade back to 4.2?

    All right. I didn't realise, I'll take that back. Doesn't this also void your warranty (if service station chooses) since you can't remove your tracks. Also,I think the flag prevents you from flashing older stock rom using odin. Sent from my GT-N7100

    If I upgrade to 4.3, could I downgrade back to 4.2?

    I'm well aware of the difference between the triangle counter and the Knox flag (better term than counter, my bad). The op was talking about downgrading not rooting. The official 4.3 update has a 0x0 flag in the download mode due to the new boot loader (termed Knox flag). It is tripped into...

    If I upgrade to 4.3, could I downgrade back to 4.2?

    If I upgrade to 4.3, could I downgrade back to 4.2?

    Going back down using kies is not possible. The official 4.3 update has a Knox secured bootloader so unlike past updates, it is also very difficult and risky to downgrade by flashing with Odin as currently all the methods trigger the Knox counter which can void warranty and can't be undone atm...

    Need help with Note 2 battery!

    I think you are right to expect better battery life. It is hard to quantify battery life, but I moved up from s3 to note2 and got double the screen time (3.5 hours to 7 hours) and there are many others who have. The increased screen size doesn't have as much effect since the resolution is the...

    Need help with Note 2 battery!

    Based on the battery charts, it doesn't look like any rogue apps are present. Since the battery drop is constant regardless of whether the phone is in use, it's likely due to some radio. Might wanna try disabling Bluetooth and GPS (there seems to be a special Verizon based GPS icon in the...

    Need help with Note 2 battery!

    If your still looking to rule out apps, install wakelock detector and look at which apps are causing abnormally high wakelocks. Also may wanna try setting 'keep Wi-Fi on during sleep' to never under Wi-Fi settings. If you have Viber, it tries to overwrite this settings, so disable it under...
