Ahem ... the s Pen ? If you need to take handwritten notes, there is no choice.

This is the Spigen Valentinus. It's a bit padded so gives fair protection, looks good and isn't too fat for me. I carry it in my jacket pocket or a bumbag. I use the Note as a notepad and have a separate mobile phone I use for talking on. I'm not using it outdoors or in the wet. I've put a...

I write notes as I'm talking on the phone (another mobile or the landline) to people at work. It's as easy as an ink pen in a paper notebook and I can write finer. I record critical data like phone numbers using the text function and virtual keyboard. For google searches the handwriting...

Thanks Nothing Is. and Walkop Interestingly, back at work I've found that Win XP does read/write the Note 2 almost like a USB flash drive. Drag and drop - 100% good ! The only thing is I can't "eject" it like I'm supposed to. I'm guessing there is more security on Win7, MacOS and Ubuntu...

Thanks Walkop, I'll do my best to explain. It is a really good phone and OS so these are minor annoyances. USB access: I'd like to be able to just plug the phone in and work on the files there using the MS Explorer, Mac Finder or Ubuntu file manager. It's a hassle to have to use a proprietary...

I found Firefox wouldn't really run on my Samsung galaxy mini 2 but I don't use it for browser based webbing so no problem, just uninstalled. On my Note 2 Firefox does run but often gives funny looking big fonts on random windows. Chrome runs and displays quite a bit better. I would rather use...

Well, I decided to: use a 6 number PIN which is easy to retype in many times a day. Its as quick as pattern lock and only made an error once in umpteen openings so far. not to encrypt set up Wheres my droid Pro to enable a remote wipe if ever needed. Also back up to desktop computer so I...

I'm new to Android. Wikipedia was my friend in understanding Android versions. I concluded that it's not usual to upgrade Android so the version supplied on your phone when you buy it is pretty much what you've got till you buy a new one. Win95 and Win7 were both pretty good and stable except...

Is there any extra security benefit from encrypting your device beyond what you get from using a PIN screen lock ? System: Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7105 Jellybean 4.1.2 It's a personal account, no corporate VPN or policy. The data I want to store on it is handwritten medical patient notes...

I backed up my Samsung Note 2 to mac using Kies yesterday. It seemed to work OK. I can access data files like .pdf and .jpg on the mac. It's stored in a directory called samsung. It also backed up my Galaxy mini 2 GT-6500D to a separate directory. Very well behaved.
