    GT-N7105T - Telstra (Australia) Note 2, stalled during CF-Auto-Root

    Hi RoFra, That error message with Triangle Away was resolved after an updated version was released - Chainfire just had to add compatibility for this particular Note 2 variant. ian cowen - I ended up rooting successfully. The problem was that I was trying to begin the root process before...

    Google Now sounds and alerts

    Hi RPKS, I never noticed this before, but now that you mention it the Google Now sounds are fairly loud. I think the volume rocker only adjusts the ringtone volume (and other volumes that are related/controlled by that). To actually change the Google Now volume I had to go into Settings >...

    Ubuntu smartphone OSU

    I was thinking there would be much more discussion about this here... it looks fairly awesome! I misunderstood when I first saw it... I thought they were announcing availability of Ubuntu OS for phones, but that's not quite right... It looks like the first phones loaded with Ubuntu will ship in...

    Full-featured photo editing app including layer support (blending, transparency etc.) & masks? GIMP?

    Full-featured photo editing app including layer support (blending, transparency etc.) & masks? GIMP? Hi All, I've just been searching through the Play Store trying to find some photo editing apps equivalent to what I was using on my iPhone. The #1 thing that is missing for me is an app that...

    GT-N7105T - Telstra (Australia) Note 2, stalled during CF-Auto-Root

    Cheers SkunkApe. From what I've read I'm sure it is possible to root and keep a 0 binary count on at least some versions of the Note 2. But I've also heard of other Aussies having trouble with the firmware on our GT-N7105T variants, apparently Triangle Away just doesn't play with the firmware...

    GT-N7105T - Telstra (Australia) Note 2, stalled during CF-Auto-Root

    Okay, just decided to try again. Loaded Kies so I could get the proper USB drivers to be on the safe side (Windows just automatically detected & installed who knows what drivers previously). Did it exactly the same as my first attempt, except waited until I had yellow COM showing. All good...

    Ditching Cupertino Kool-Aid for some Jelly Beans

    Cheers for that. Something made me think there wouldn't be recommendations against Aqua Mail. I was just trying to find a way to add unified search to the Note 2, but looks like Samsung did have it and removed it because of a possible Apple patent dispute... D'oh! Anyone know of easy options to...

    Ditching Cupertino Kool-Aid for some Jelly Beans

    Hahaha fruit phones being taken over... :D Although I don't know if we can really comment - using various dessert and candy OSes. Isn't fruit healthier? :p First post, welcome! I don't know much about BB, but my theory for tech items is that you should always buy the top end models if you...

    Why no sound plays to confirm e-mail has been SENT on Note 2??

    Just looked up Tasker... WOW. If that can't fix up your notifications requirements I don't know what will, I'm checking it out. Cheers.

    List your last 5 phones

    Haha, this is funny. I hadn't even thought about it until I saw this thread, but I'm only just on my 5th phone now! So not an addict I suppose... My current to first mobile: Galaxy Note 2 iPhone 4 iPhone (original) Sony Ericsson T610 Nokia 8250 Yeah I don't like the hassle of changing...

    Why no sound plays to confirm e-mail has been SENT on Note 2??

    I'm interested in this, would be nice to have a confirmation sound when an SMS has been sent as well... It seems to take a while to send an SMS, I'd rather be able to leave the messaging screen and carry on with other stuff instead of having to wait for it so I can actually be sure it was sent...

    GT-N7105T - Telstra (Australia) Note 2, stalled during CF-Auto-Root

    Thanks for that clarification. I have since done a bit more reading up on Odin as well... I am sure that the PC was installing USB drivers so it didn't have a connection with the device. I clicked Start and it ran the MD5 check, it was after that the yellow COM box came up. No way to learn...
