Need to downgrade my note 2 urgently.

[Richie Rosa]

I had my note 2 for a few months now and avoided updating it the entire time. I woke up this morning and checked my phone and accidentally clicked update and there was no backing out. Now the phone is a very expensive piece of crap. I need to downgrade it immediately but I can't seem to find out how.

Its an AT&T US version of the phone. Thanks in advance for any help regarding this issue.

Edit: The issue is that the battery drains about 3 times as fast as it did 10 minutes before the update. None of the settings have changed. I called samsung and they wouldn't help me and told me there were no known issues regarding this security update (which I rather not have).

I am not looking for tips and tricks like lowering my brightness, turning off my WiFi. I need to fix the problem, not decrease it by 5% at the cost of half the things I need my phone for.

The simple answer is most likely to do a Factory reset. 99% of the time, when an OTA screws things up, a factory reset will set things right.

The only way to downgrade would be to flash a complete ROM of the prior OS version (ICS, I assume) via ODIN. If you really want to do that, go to the AT&T Note 2 forums and ask for help there.

I guess I'll probably do both by the end of the day. I really hope the reset works since there doesn't seem to be an easy way to downgrade. Thanks for your help.
