Review: Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II - SPH-L900 - The Next Big Thing

[puneet_si 1]

Any one tried updating?

Updated to 4.3 through zip (knox-free) available at XDAdevs (didn't receive any OTA notification), seems to be working fine so far.

EDIT:

Facing the Youtube issue (as Javed has mentioned), i tried doing what DK and Doc have suggested but i see no Multimedia option under the 'Others' menu (in ##3282# menu). Am using a Sprint note 2, any pointers?

Was also able to sort this issue after updating to 4.3 (Multimedia option appeared and proxy changed to 0.0.0.0)

Above both links are for Full L900VPALJ1, this will bring your phone back to 4.1

4.3 with Knox = no no

Use Knox free ZIP for getting 4.3

Would appreciate if you can link the app here, a Play Store search throws many hotspot apps.

EDIT:

Got wifi hotspot working on Note 2 by installing a De-odexed stock rom (with built in hotspot hack) from XDAdevs:

Got the official 4.3 Update on the Note2 today

The 3G speeds seems to have improved post this upgrade

Also the irritating Activation Message can now be permanently removed from the Notification Bar

The device feels snappy and faster.

Have you tested WiFI, few people reported WiFi issue after updating to MK4.

@ALL

After taking MK4 OTA, (Only If your want) you wont be able to downgrade directly to lower versions,

you need to overwrite bootloader, which is not locked with knox,Like MC2/LJC/MA7 etc

to downgrade from MK4 to MC2 or LJC,

you need working custom recovery and a special scripted ROM ZIP files.

which can be found here :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769

Here are Mirrors for ZIP

MC2_STOCK

Stock MA7

Oldest Stock LJC DOWNLOADS

Also you cannot downgrade from MC2 to LJC directly , as you cannot overwirte bootloader of MC2 with LJC with normal Odin method.

For doing same above scripted ZIP can be used.

Wifi is working just fine. It also warns when the internet connection is erratic e.g. when some torrent is downloading at full speeds on your pc.

Zero issues so far. Better performance and feel.

[vahidmomin 66]

Installed deodex 4.3 MK4 from

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?s=700d488a9ce3ebb341dcb0dc3a12d895&t=2541395

It's a flash through recovery, jsut flash cwm 6.0.2.5 and wipe data factory reset,wipe cache,wipe dalvik cache and flsh this, then flash the wifi patch tar through odin (PDA SLOT) and you are good to go! Looks good for now, I miss the data toggle in note 2

[::Hitesh:: 1,763]

For using same link you have to install custom recovery on it.

thanks

So this update makes our Sprint Note II's compatible with Samsung Gear. I downloaded the Gear Manager from Samsung Apps (not Play Store) -

So what's the feedback about the Samsung Gear WATCH? Anyone using it? And what is it's cost?

Here's my friend's watch -

[vishalsheth 19]

Wah DK. How's it?

[dkaile 1,051]

Wah DK. How's it?

Uff Vishal, that's not mine. I am still waiting for feedback from actual Rimweb user, if any, of Samsung Gear...
