Re: Let's see your note 2 home screens. Here's the wallpaper I used. Also used Phoney White Icons for the icons, Nova Launcher, and beautiful widgets for the clock and weather. I got the wallpaper from Zedge. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Android Central Forums

Re: Let's see your note 2 home screens. Just started doing something different with mine. Still changing a lot of it. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Android Central Forums

My Note 2 did replace my N7. As far as a 10 inch tablet though, I think I would still use that size tablet but wouldn't carry it around with me. It's be for home usage. But unless I got an extremely good deal on a 10 incher, the Note 2 satisfies any of my needs, from Web browsing to playing...

I still don't understand the reasons behind not using a screen protector. Is it not only liking the feel of them? I guess it's personal preference in the end. I've had no issues with the spen at all using the Mobc ones from amazon. Feels fine and I figure it helps resale value down the road as...

I thought they weren't making the Kraken for the Note 2? Don't know why they decided not too make one. I looked on their Facebook page and it was being blown up by Note 2 users wanting a Kraken. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Android Central Forums

I got the Mobc oleophobic from amazon. 2 for about $10 or just over. Not sure how it compares to other oleophobic screen protectors though, as this is the first I've used. As far as the spen working and feel of it, I'm very pleased. Installed without a hitch. The only other screen protector I've...

I never saw a good reason not to use a screen protector with a phone. I'm using the mobc oleophobic from amazon and feels great with no interfering with the spen. Two of them for about ten dollars and I'd be hard pressed to think that the spigen is any better. I also figure it would help resale...

I had the same issue and almost returned it. But by paying attention to the apps which were draining the battery the most, I stopped using those and problem solved. Mine was running at low 40s idle and almost 50 when using it for menial tasks. Now it runs low 30s/below 30 at idle Sent from my...

Well I guess it did turn out to be an app that was causing it. It's running normal temps now (lows 30s) and I'm monitoring battery drain. I didn't realize just running picspeed wallpapers the way I was and probably one or two other apps would cause that but pretty sure it was the reason. Thanks...

Stopped using picspeed and such for the last 30 min and doesn't seem to make a difference so far. Here's a pic from System Tuner at idle and another two from gsam. Let me know if anything else will help. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Android Central Forums

Yeah, I hope I'm not overreacting. I'll admit I came from a Samsung Behold before this -- so basically have no experience in smart phones to compare it to. My main concern is not that the phone is getting warm/hot itself since I know phones do that sometimes but that it seems abnormal...

My battery is running at about 33-35C and cpu is in the 40sC at idle, going over 50 with no intensive apps used. I've been keeping track of apps and nothing showing up as a clear culprit. The Andrid system takes up the mot battery usage and assume that's normal? Sent from my SCH-I605 using...

I haven't used it extensively in the sun yet, just going from class to class. But I don't think it's bad at all with full brightness up. It's quite visible IMO. Can't really compare it to other phones though unfortunately.

Thanks for the reply. Then I'm confused about mine. It's running at almost 40?C most of the time
