Sorry you've had that many problems! My husband is still on is original Note 2, and loves it. It's an awesome phone, just too big for me. I love the S Pen, though.

Same here, had mine from launch day. No issues.

Any chance your note 2's were on att? If so, att installs an app that makes wifi turn on and off seemingly randomly. I thought my wifi was broke as well but it was a setting inside att smartwifi that needs to be turned of.

It is from att but thats not the issue tho. Wifi will work fine for a few minutes then come to a crawling speed slower than dial up. Toggle wifi and itll be back up to normal and then repeat a few minutes later. My latest phone did not have the wifi issue but the ear piece speak did not make a sound.

OG N2 here. Not a single problem other than lte sucks the life out of my battery. But it's oh so fast! $20 for some spare batteries and a charger fixed that problem.

I had the same wifi issue.... A Google search led me to this fix:

Dial *#0011# hit menu and select "wifi" turn power save mode to off. Hit save. Repeat if you reboot. Worked for me.

I had the same issue at first. I disabled wps in the router and it worked. Keep your wpa setup, just doable wps.

It wouldnt matter what i did with the router settings. It wouldnt matter what router it was either, or place i was at. Its weird because two out of three phones had the issue so it makes me think its a hardware issue like a bad wifi radio.

This is my second note 2 because wifi was messed up. Actually it still is. It gets very slow wifi speeds when first walking into a wifi spot. I have to toggle wifi all the time.

The crap we put up with for Android...

Maybe the next thread should be, 'why are you waiting for the next update of____"

True. I guess its a hit or miss with phones. There will always be bad ones out there.

I don?t have one, but one of my best friends does, and I have heard 0 complaints. In fact, she can?t stop talking about how much she likes it. LOL

Went through about 5 or 6 evos and then got the note 2. No problems, great phone

Hi Jennifer,

I have the galaxy note 2, and have been happy with it until I updated a Samsung device update 2 days ago.

It changed the configuration of the icons on my home screen, but that's not my problem....When I use the Google search widget that looks like a Google search box on the top of my home screen, before it takes me to an input page (with the keyboard at the bottom), it takes me through Google Now 5 pages of "continue" or "try now" before I see the input page.

Then, the background of the input page is off-white instead of clear (black). I don't mind that so much (though I would like to change it back to clear), but the searches themselves take forever (if I don't get a different looking "retry" message).

Please help
