When you open a text from the notification shade it doesn't clear it from the list, you have to do it manually.

"Rotation Control"

I just tried it, it's pretty incredible, it rotates homepage and dialer.

Rotation Control App works great. Here are my home screen and phone dialer in landscape.

After installing Rotation Control, one thing I can't get it to rotate yet is the in call screen.

meaning after I dial a number (in landscape) and the phone goes into a call it switches to portrait. Any ideas? Thanks,

Got that to work as well. This is a really nice App.

One complaint about the Yahoo Mail app. It doesn't refresh by itself. Meaning once I check the new email in my desktop browser, the file still shows as unread in the phone and unless I refresh the phone app manually it will continue to blink new email.

Any remedies?

You might need a new, faster micro SD card (assuming your photos are being stored on SD).

Yes, pics are being stored on the SD card. Just bought a 64 GB Ultra Class 10 card, so that isn't it. It was less a "laggy" moment, than a temporary freeze (7-8 seconds). Haven't experienced it since though.

I'm loving this phone also. Came from a Galaxy Nexus which I had some issues with but all of those issues do not exist on the Note II.

The biggest thing that is driving me crazy with the Note II, is two things.
1. No Wifi option in the notification bar, like on my friends AT&T Note II
2. The font is too big in the "email" app. Yet on the "gmail" app you can make it much smaller. This is one issue I didn't have on the Galaxy Nexus.
A. One other small issue with the "email" app is that I always have to access "All folders" to view sub folders. On the Galaxy Nexus it would add sub folders to the "Recent folder" list.

I'm sure all of these complaints can be fixed once ROMs start coming out, which is fine with me.

I forgot to mention that I love the car dock that I bought. It's the universal Samsung car mount that was designed around the Note 1 but works perfect with the Note 2. I even have the Verizon kickstand case and the car mount can still be used with that case.

Here's a picture of the Note II with the Verizon kickstand case and the mount. (I used my work iPhone to take the pic XD)

I've been getting so many comments about the phone when I've been out. I can't tell if they're good comments or what... But it's mostly "that's a HUGE phone!" haha

OK coming to an end of 6 days on the Note II. When I use the unit at home, it seems normal to me, but when I pull it out of my pocked on the street it seems huge. Funny how it takes a while to get used to the size.

Speaking of size, today I used the phone with one had. I had to check SMS. Didn't reply of course, but was able to unlock, open and read with one hand. I was carrying stuff with the other hand. It's doable and I am sure with practice it will become easier.

TOUCHWIZ SMS TEMPLATE RANT:
I love the pure Android ICS/JB SMS template with contact picture quotations on my former Gnex and really dislike the cartoonish bubbles in the Touchwiz version of Note II.

This is a generic image of the ICS stock SMS template: How do I get this template back? Without rooting or causing other issues.

This is the bubbles without the contact pics, which is the current Touchwiz standard that I dislike (also from the web):
