I never did report back on this... yes, my Note II worked just find in Canada. :cool:

I still have my Note II. I did replace the battery almost 2 years ago. Still works great. :)

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. :)

Last summer I was in Canada for a few days and my Note II couldn't get any phone signal or internet connection. My wife's S5 worked just fine. When I got back to Montana I went to the Verizon store and they told me that Canada was switching all their towers and the Note II didn't have the...

I have the same problem with the Note II and the provided white charger and cable. What I've found is that when I plug in, I go to Settings > Battery and see that it says: It should say "xx% - Charging (AC)" but I found sometimes it will switch to "xx% - Charging (USB)." When that happens I...

I agree. Or maybe even the Note 6. I just don't see any compelling reason to upgrade. Great phones though. Love my Note 2.

Last night I tried Airplane mode, turning off sync, turning off GPS... still had the 10 minute stutter. My music is on an SD card. I can't remember if it did it before the SD card. I think it did but I wasn't using it quite as much then. I don't stream music but I might experiment with that...

I'm curious too. Same thing happens to me, although I haven't timed the occurrences. I think it happened when I had my corded headphones connected but it definitely happens when using Bluetooth headphones at the gym. It happens whether I connect to the wireless internet or not. Mobile data...

Mine has acted like a brick a couple of times before the update - I just pulled the battery for a few seconds. I know that usually goes without saying but you didn't mention pulling the battery. Might want to try it if you haven't.

Wow! I never did figure it out. I reset my phone and that worked. I never did reinstall that auto-brightness app but it's good to know that's what caused the problem. Makes perfect sense because that could have been the last thing I installed before it happened. I took it to the Verizon...

I have problem that just started a couple days ago installing apps from the Amazon App Store. (The Play store seems to work fine.) I can download the Free App of the Day. And when it gets to the install step, I choose "Package Installer" or "Verify and install" ... "Just Once" and then I get...

My Galaxy Note II came the day we got the ICE update. I didn't open the box for a day because I wanted to mess with the Thunderbolt a bit. I really liked the upgrade - kinda wanted to spend more time with it. But the next day I opened the Note II and switched to that. I'm really loving the...

I had mine fully charged Friday and 5pm and didn't plug it in until this morning (Monday) at about 10:30 am with 9% left. Obviously not heavy use but it was at least moderate. I used it when I wanted to and I'm thrilled with that. Way better than my Thunderbolt with the stock battery. I'd...

Thanks for the idea. The path might have changed but there is no music at all on my SD card. Looked in all directories and did a search for *.mp3. All gone.

I had the same problem and I posted it in another thread. I could open text messages from everyone except my fiance. For others I had less than 100 texts but I downloaded another SMS app to read my fiance's texts and it counted over 3,600. Just for fun I'm trying to open her texts again and...
