no worries. lol. It definitely wasn't the sd card. The phone has a definite "burnt circuitry" smell now. something on the main board must have burned out when I had it plugged in. It won't even try to turn on now. Looks like I lost a few photos that I had saved in the device memory.

That is the silver lining. I always thought those stories about phones getting hot and/or combusting (outside of battery problems) were generally a load of crap. I use the heck out of mine and (other than replacing batteries) never had anything like this happen. Although I did have an old DX...

My Note 2 finally died for good. I had been using an Asurion replacement for a while now. Yesterday, while in a conversation, the person on the other end of the line started complaining of "static". I told them I couldn't hear anything and pulled my phone away from my ear to look at the...

Man. Sorry to hear about your hassle. When I got mine I had not yet received my wallet/flip case. I just one I would drop it. So I went to my local Vzw store to buy a skin case. They had no accessories. Nada.... Then I went to an Att store. Too expensive. Finally I hit up a Sprint store and...

The stock touchwhiz calendar widget is what I use. If that is what you are wanting then head on over to XDA forums. There is a thread there for downloading and installing it. Sent from my sweet Verizon Galaxy Note 2

No, I'm talking about the beanstown rom. Jelly "Beans" build 1. His rom is basically a modified, skinned, rooted, and streamlined version of the stock rom. Sent from my sweet Verizon Galaxy Note 2

There is a force close for some when changing the message limit option in the messages application. And the other one I have experienced has to do with the s- pen. Whenever you use it to outline and copy a section of a webpage or image it doesn't open the review/share dialogue. It still saves it...

You know, I actually thought this would be an issue. But with the wallet case on it, I have found that it is actually thinner than my usual wallet. And the case actually gives it a great deal of protection and rigidity. I do remember to take it out of my pocket when driving or when I will be...

Agree with this. I loaded it this morning and it runs great. Only one or two very small issues but I'm sure those will be taken care of with his next release. If this is what he has made for us this soon after release, I can't wait to see what we get once the bootloader is unlocked. Sent from...

The Vzw note 2 has a locked bootloader. Until that gets cracked we won't be using cwm or rom manager. You just need to use Odin to root and load ROMs. I am coming to Samsung from Motorola DX2 so I am definitely missing CWM. Sent from my sweet Verizon Galaxy Note 2

Are you operating with the cellular radio in " global mode" ? If you know what type of network you will be operating on then just set it for the carrier you subscribe to and that should relieve some of that battery drain. Sent from my sweet Verizon Galaxy Note 2

I keep mine in a wallet flip case in either my back pocket (like a wallet) or in my coat breast pocket. I usually wear relaxed fit jeans and I'm not a big guy by any means (155lbs. soaking wet) and it doesn't bulge or look unsightly at all. Sent from my sweet Verizon Galaxy Note 2

I feel like an idiot because this morning I needed to write down a series of numbers and instead of using my note 2 I used a pen to write it on my hand.... /facepalm Sent from my sweet Verizon Galaxy Note 2

Looks like it is out. Only a matter of time now before we start seeing some custom recovery options........ Samsung Open Source Release Center You can get it by searching for SCH-i605.
