Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 - User Reviews

  • I liked mine 100% , until it had the note2 chip problem. It would shut down, and reboot when it wanted t, or when I used the flash light. Since then I bought the s5 active which the back cover cracks when ever you set it down. Thankfully that phone I dropped in the ocean, hated it. Then I bought the s7 , and it has terrible reception, worse than my Note2, I'm done with it after 2 months, I'm waiting on a s8 now, see how that will work out for me, don't know. Nothing was as good as my Note 2 though.

  • GPS is broken after WNRO event in April. Will not work anymore without update from Samsung.

  • You Upgrade Phone With lineage custom rom with gapps Arm 7 stock or Arm 9 stock

  • perfect phone but how can i upgrade andriod OS to highier than 4.4 ?

  • Change the back cover by buying a compatible note II flip cover white, black...It is the fourth one I am using in 6+years of possedion. PS. Flip cover protects scrern as well as helps in using it as tablet

  • Hi, this phone had been a perfect spare phone to me for quite some time, until one day the red notification reminder light started to remain lighted despite there wasno notification. I've tried all the possible solutions for the same problem found online, but still unable to turn it off even when the phone was switched off. Do you think it could be a possible warning for battery issue or device problem? All input will be appreciated. Thank you.

  • buy a new battery for cryin out loud

  • I do also use this phone

  • I bought my N7100 in 2014, but after reaching in 2018 the battery performance is depleted day by day even it drain when my phone is on standby, should I assume that it's time to switch another phone ?

  • I dont know. I live in Iran but i think it does.

  • Does it support 4g in india

  • I still using this phone I bought it in 2012 Its perfect.

  • Best phone even I expected, 7 years used without any problem

  • bought it in 2014 the first day of war in gaza strip still remember that day ..., what amazing phone

  • best phone. already used it for 6 years. never have a problem.. just need to update a new software..

  • best phone in the world

  • My Samsung GT-N7100 Galaxy Note ll the network is no longer working, producing weak signal every time and not browsing. I need firmware to upgrade it.

  • write "n7100 xda developer" and seek at google, there are a lot of custom roms like android 5.x, 6.x, 7.x and 8.x (but 8.x hav still problems with gps and senseors)...

  • plz software update

  • The fact that phones get more expensive depresses me. I bought a Note 8 2 weeks ago. A 1 and over a half year old phone. With the amount of money I bought my phone i could have bought the Note II as soon as January 2013

  • N7100 is not garbage... its mor better than note 3-4-5-6 with their chronic fabric errors!

  • Still using as a tablet at home. I bought it at Feb 2013. Cosmetically good condition only change is now I loaded RR-5.8.5-7.1.2.

  • Using Samsung Note 2 since 2012. The best Samsung product ever, I changed battery and rebooted once. I love it so much

  • jus buy a new device like honor 10 lite that's a smart move don't be stupid spending money to a garbage

  • I bought my Note II on February 2014, and it functions very good. I have had some problems but they resolved doing nothing

  • I am using this Samsung note 2 mobile from august 2013 and still this mobile is working very good. Once i change the battery accept this there is no problem came on. I love my hand set.

  • If it has worked for many years the housing may no longer be very tightly in place. It has to be secured enough to keep the various antennas on the back cover connected to the springy contacts or pins on the motherboard. The antennas are located under the home button and on either side of the ear piece region so make sure all the corner screws are intact to make sure that pond and in contact with antennas on the housing

  • Ain't that great?

  • is the os upgradeable to 8.1

  • You have to choose quality battery such as PATONAs.

  • i am using note 2 five years still running good condition

  • My first Smartphone. I used it for 6 years, but now its time to replace it.

  • My samsung Galaxy Note 11 N7100 has got a battery problem ,i want a battery seriously.please advise.

  • More than 6 years.. Since September 2012 til December 2018 Only 2 reboots.. And this Legend still works quite well in daily usage.. No Battery problem at all !! First 5.5 inch screen.. People were shocked.. Now all use even bigger screen phones.. What a Journey its been in only 6 years of this technology in our life..

  • I bought a used Note 2 from London in October 18. Using in Dhaka. Often I receive a signal ' restricted access '. Often the network drops and difficult to call/ hear. (Internet is OK with wifi / data.) Initially network mode was set as ' WCDMA/GSM ( auto connect. Today I changed it to 'LTE/WCDMA/GSM ( auto connect).. Yet no improvement in network. What should I do?

  • i forget my note 2 mobile password how i restart it

  • no longer use phone feature, but want to transfer photos off and forget pin? Options?

  • How do I update my Galaxy Note 2

  • I've had my Note 2 for almost 6 years now. Now the battery finally gave up. I could just buy a new battery, but I think it's time for an upgrade. Nevertheless, this is the best phone I've had

  • My phone has seized to boot

  • just buy a replacement battery, it's removable

  • Emmc chip (Google it) start to failed on year 2018. Symptoms : Sudden death/ deep sleep mode/ blackout etc. Can't power on with new battery or USB cable (laptop). Solution (1): Replace Emmc chip (only) - cheaper. Solution (2): Replace main system board (pay more if solution 1 not successful). Still a good phone to use, no complaints others than the above issue.

  • This is a fantastic handset. I am using it since December 2014. only replaced battery last year. I never used any random app in it. Still woks fine for me.

  • My phone's battery automatically drain . What to do this one???????

  • its good in past but, now it faced a lot of slow and reboot, also some up normal sound. i don't know its only for mine or all after long yeas of work.

  • Ive had my Note 2 for 6 years this month (September) and Ive only just replaced the battery for the first time a few weeks ago. They phone still working perfectly (knock on wood). I LOL at people going out and spending over a $1000 on a phone evry year or so, haha

  • I had the Original Note for 2 and a half years and Loved it. Then I had an accident with it and smashed the phone with the car door. Obviously replaced by the Note II. Great phone for his time! I believe it still a workable phone for a lot of users nowaday if you have a new battery. 2 GB RAM is enough for tasks as facebook or instagram, manage emails and web surfing. In fact this is the dailly tasks for many users. Still... my phobe died two years later and to replace the motherboard, it would cost a lot. So I bought myself a new Note 4. Still have it and will be replaced by the Note 9 when starting to be not usable anymore. The beauty of buying a Note is that your phone will be a decent device even 5 years after you buy it. I will not even mention the S-Pen since as soon as you start using it, you will never leave it anymore.

  • About a year ago, I experienced continous rebooting, even when battery was fully charged. Bought a new battery, and it was fine after that. Not sure if a new battery will resolve your problem.

  • my greatest phone all the time.

  • Classic phone for its time. One of the pioneers next to the LG Optimus LTE2 to offer 2 GB of RAM back in 2012. Apple didn't offer that on iPhones until 2015! Samsung and LG were always ahead of the game.

  • Smash it and buy another phone...coz it wil just be giving u som head-ache. That's my advice,thank u

  • I have note 2 from 2013 . I use my note 2 almost 3 n half year. Then I switch to samsung and select moto z play it's good choice for me. My note 2 device in 2017 not respond me .Its almost dead . Not charging also then i go to gallery they told me that ur device mother board gone. So i m very sad that time in 2018 i just charge my device its charge up but slowly then its on .magic happens. Then i go to mobile shop and change my battery. Now i want to know is my device working or not . Or i face any problems in future

  • Flash a Custom Recovery like CWM or TWRP and then search a Decent Custom ROM like Cynogen and Flash it. (From Pakistan with love)

  • My Note 2 just wonked out--1 hour ago--won't power on or charge. This after updating google play app. Any suggestions? Thanks

  • My Note II is showing "Gboard has stopped" and i can't type anything on it. What should i do?

  • this is because it has the Exynos processor, not the Snapdragon one. Basically, the Snapdragon model would've been able to support 4g but not the Exynos processor which can only support 3g

  • J7 2016 and On8 are better alternatives to the Samsung note 2.

  • If it is in the memory card, nothing would have happened.

  • I just ran Basemark OS II on my Samsung Galaxy Note II. Overall Result was 510 Basemark OS II Samsung Galaxy Note II 510

  • Amazon still shows this phone in their advertisements

  • Galaxy Note 2 is Great mobile phone. I have been using it for last many years but still it is good from many new devices. I really became fan of this phone.

  • You got that right. I don't know what optimization Samsung has done. It's really smooth even after all these years.

  • Still have my Note II. Still loving it. FASTER than Note 3 (my daughter gave me) My grandson uses my phone and likes my phone better than any electronics we have..said the picture is good and size is right. Kudos for Note II

  • Still compete with most mid to low class devices in terms of 2gb ram...great piece of devices

  • I am still having my note 2. Bought galaxy s5 last year at a low price. But the note 2 is more snappy than my s5. Almost after 5 years it is still going strong.

  • Does the stylus work after upgrading to a custom rom?

  • LOL you are complaining about phone that was released 5 years ago....man get real...

  • try getting a new genuine charger cable, a lot of generic cables are not up to the job, hope this helps

  • its awesome phone

  • The phone was released say 5 years ago, it was a supreme" phone that days, five years after price still high because it is one of the good phones from samsung, look at other other specs of this phone, much "decent" compare with some of other mobile phones in the market now a day with much higher prices.

  • I cannot connect my phone note2 to PC. PC show "not recognize" . What shall i do ?

  • 720p display on a phone that big. I'm truly disappointed. Especially considering the price! It's not even a budget phone!

  • Extra battery??? How ??

  • You can update your Samsung Galaxy Note II operating system to Android 7.1.2 Nougat by flashing Lineage 14 ROM into it using TWRP recovery. If you want to know how to update your Note II to Android Nougat, just search on Google on how to flash Lineage 14 on Note II. Also, Android 8 Oreo for this device will come soon as is it in development. On my experience with Android Nougat in my Note II is very great, it doesn't lag and the battery life is longer compared to Android 4 on Note 2, also, it has a lot of features.

  • You have to buy a new batteri

  • Mine still using Note 2....... works brilliantly .....just add extra battery power to 6900mAh.....wow....last me for two solid days.......Note 8 way too expensive.......can go for Huawei devices......reasonable price with super high spec.......

  • I use it still for 4 years. I have spare battery charger and battery. No problems. My phone has android version 4.3. How to update android version?

  • there is a fix look on youtube

  • Currently my Note 2, unable to access to WIFI , what happen and what should I do? Further, I notice after I took out the sim card from the phone, and re-fix the sim card into the phone it wouldn't allow to switch it on. If l plug into charge to charge 1 second then the phone it allow to switch as normal. Does the phone battery not in good condition? ( almost 5 years life)

  • Hi guys since i tried to change my sim card to 4g lite the phone has refused to accept the new sim card when it is logde in after a few minutes it goes off with a msg inset your sim please tell me what should i do?

  • thanks qx@2.... if it doesn't i don't think it will be a deal breaker for me... So long as the battery is replacable and the led is bright and customisable. Cheers mate!!

  • Can it be updated to lollipop without lags

  • Please what about the performance of the battery..?

  • 4G LTE

  • Hey guys, does this phone have a bright LED Notification light? second, does it support 4G? Can one transfer apps to SD card, and can a 64GB SD card be supported in the S Note II? Thanks guys Yes, the LED is pretty bright. I don't think the international version N7100 supports 4g. If you are rooted, you can use apps like Foldermount to almost fully move the data to SD card. And also it supports 64GB SD card. Hope this answers your queries.

  • Hey guys, does this phone have a bright LED Notification light? second, does it support 4G? Can one transfer apps to SD card, and can a 64GB SD card be supported in the S Note II? Thanks guys

  • It is LTE. Go to setting and then select LTE

  • my samsung note two is not taking google play store

  • My samsung note two is not work display due to felldown floors.what can I do?

  • I can't update my galaxy note 2

  • Have you updated software? or you are using same software you bought it with in 2012

  • I used it already. .

  • 4g compatibility is hardware dependent, so unfortunately it cannot be done.

  • No recovry found for this model

  • Can our note2 will upgrade from 3g to 4g

  • If you are rooted, I think an app called "SDFix" will help to get rid of that problem.

  • Search xda is available, i flahed my yesterday

  • Note 2 N7100 sucks because of kitkat. You cannot use any third party apps to delete, rename, move, copy any files to the memory card. This is not the case with android 6.0.1 in Samsung Note 4

  • i m using note 2 from 2012 good phone still....amaging

  • Need custom recovery for model shv e250l kitkat anybody help

  • I have been using galaxy note II N7100 since 2015 and its working great. Only the battery is now not keeping power for long

  • Please don't try any other roms. Like nougat. There is nothing in that roms. Best roms for n7100 is 1.eclipse v9 2.dn4 (ditto note 4)

  • Hi.my name is siva. I am using eclipse v9 from 1 year its working fine without any lag. The battery life is perty good. No hanging problem. Try this rom . You will be satisfies with this rom.

  • They now want you to Switch to s8, simple

  • just use nova launcher or turn off animations, worked for me until this day...

  • I am using note 2. But the kitkat's UI is so laggy.. even samsung are unable to make lollipop update for galaxy note 2, why samsung didn't make note 2 like a note 4's kitkat version?

  • Hi bro, my note 2 is already rooted with android 4.4. But I have a small doubt. Will the s-pen work with custom ROMs like the one you mentioned?

  • Hi,my mobile (galaxy note II ) is not booting,not charging, but display is working,how to resolve this probem

  • I need a screen. The display is broken :(

  • Just got a pre-owned Note II. What a great phone! I don't like the latest models because the lag is real.

  • Try CM Security or Clean Master Lite from Playstore.. and then make sure you clean junk file every day.. I've tried it.. and the phone works like the new one..

  • One pf the best phone used

  • same here, any plans / phones for upgrading ?

  • I started to use note 2 since 2013Jan until now(2017 may)

  • I've considered rooting several times but always stopped short of doing it because i read user's comments about "glitchiness". You are right though and now would be the time to do it. Nothing to lose and everything to gain.

  • Just root your phone and install the latest 7.1.2 whose performance is great

  • Those would certainly be on my short list of cool shiny objects to look at. I'm just weighing the many months before their release, along with the probability that they will cost close to $1k, against how long I can stand the slowness of my current device.

  • why not wait for the note 8? or lg v30?

  • Still using the Note II (4 years now). It has really started lagging in the past 6 months. Have really liked the phone all this time. My only complaints have been the low speaker output, the intolerable amount of time it takes to get to the camera and the fact that Verizon only pushed 1 o/s update out. I'm considering the S8+ at this point but the infinity display may make it difficult to protect with a case, due to the screen wrapping the edges of the phone. I'd like to hold out for the next Pixel XL but I'm somewhat irritated at the limited o/s updates that Google recently announced. I want Google or any android device manufacturer to support their phones in the same way that Apple does.

  • Is anyone still using note 2 as their daily driver? I am, but the device is lagging more and more, apps opening slower etc. Anyone experiencing the same and what about updating to a next device? advice besides note 8 in q3 this year?

  • Only N7105 will support 4G. Not VoLTE. Non 4G handsets will support jio SIM only outside India that too only in 2G or 3G partnet networks.

  • Samsung galaxy note ll N7100 is very nice. I use this phone last 3 year's. I want to known can I use jio 4g in this mobile?

  • Problem at the wifi card. You need to changed it.

  • My wife is still using note 2 as a daily driver. I have installed latest Cyanogenmod to it and that has been why she likes it. It does not lag badly and everything is up to date. I recommend ditching the old Samsung touchwiz android. Or if you want to keep stock OS then at least wipe the phone once and reflash everything, it's like reinstalling Windows... everything is smooth again.

  • How to use jio

  • Is anyone still using note 2 as their daily driver? I am, but the device is lagging more and more, apps opening slower etc. Anyone experiencing the same and what about updating to a next device? advice besides note 8 in q3 this year?

  • yes, installed it and so far no changes, since it is no major software update. device seems unchanged and runs just as before

  • Hi, I have GT-N7100 updated to latest 4.4.2. One week ago I received an update notification for "Improved Stability". Did anyone else received such update? It seems suspicious to have an update which is not listed in sammobile.com

  • I have a problem on my phone everytime I unplugged the charger it will turn off and its hard to open its only i see a freeze logo how can I fix it

  • Switch off the wireless device(s) for 3 minutes and then switch back on. Then connect. The wireless device may have hung.

  • i can't connect to wifi, it always Saved, not Connected, wht should i do?

  • Why note 2 is using Lithium-ion? L-polymer was better than ion. Althought, It serve me great for 6 yrs and counting...😊

  • You can use Jio SIM in Samsung Note 2 N7105. But VoLTE will not work and you must use jio voice app (keep mobile data on) to make and receive calls and SMS.

  • which one is the most stable rom for n7100 lineage os 14.1 cm 14.1 resurrection remix 14 iam confused

  • The note 2 has served me great; 4 yrs and counting

  • Note II series do not support 4G / LTE / 4G Extended band unfortunately.

  • do all 7100 case covers fit to 7105 ?

  • Does Note II N7105 use 4G ?

  • Can we use jio 4g in note 2 ?

  • you can buy a mainboard from EBAY. it cost approx. 30-50 American Dolares. i changed it for my n7100 note 2.

  • i love this phone but it stopped working after 2years took it to samsung shop i was told its motherboard what can i do

  • what are you talking about I just install android 7.1.1 and it works great! LineageOS or RRemix, keep your loser opinion to yourself.

  • I love this phone. But, it died after about 3 years. New battery worked about a week, so it's more serious than just a battery. :(

  • Stop buying any phone with the greed of OS upgradation. Smartphones are not laptops. If you want to keep on upgrading the OS, get a laptop. But it too has some limits. Be happy with what you have. Do not install custom ROMs.

  • Format your phone

  • I got this phone got chrome and Firefox as system browsers awesome phone

  • Pls can my gt-n710 surport 4g lte

  • You are better off with a custom ROM for your Note 2.As for the battery,you can't do anything about it anyways but atleast you can get good performance out of your 3 year old phone.

  • What to do man?. Compared to Symbian, androis is resource hungry and I also said the same about battery backup. Nothing can be done. Just be happy with what you have. When used continuously, smartphones / phablets last longer than laptopa. At least be happy for this fact.

  • Why buying Note 2 now?. Instead buy Samsung J7 2016 or Note 4 SM-910G online or On8. Both are of 99% same specs. Make sure that it is original. Always buy from branded shops with tax paid bill and do not buy from duty paid or small local shops without bill.

  • draw back is android version .Only kit kat version is available. Battery back up is not great. evrything else is good. im using it from last 3 years.

  • I have had my phone, right from release date 2012. It has been a great phone and I have not had any issues. Was thinking of a Note 7 but when I had a look, it seemed no better. Sure, little faster, better screen and such, but nah. Not worth it. Dodged that bullet. Still. Would like to upgrade at some point. Wife has the Note 5. Seems a little faster, better screen, camera, but not worth the jump from what I have. Guess I'll keep it for another year or so...

  • I am buying note 2 with 32gb.what should I check before buying. Plz let me know asap

  • I loved this phone. runs flawlessly over the apps. but i have better suggestion that the Galaxy Note II GT-N7100 will support Android Lollipop at least version 5.0. and the Galaxy Note 3 will support Android Lollipop 5.1.1 or Android Marshmallow 6.0. Hopefully the Samsung will do better for the Galaxy Note II GT-N7100. I am also big fan of Samsung. Thank you.

  • Hello. I really liked the S-Pen gestures for internet browser navigation on the Galaxy Note Two. Zooming or navigating front and back was possible with that button. Maybe, the next Note will bring two buttons on the pen: one for gesture control, another one for AirCommand, and maybe there will be some „AirDraw“ commands. But I am really glad, that Android 7 finally brings lockscreen applications like iOS7: Calculator, Stopwatch and some other useful stuff. Will we see the voice recorder and sensor status next maybe? Or even for the S-View cover?

  • Got motherboard replaced for rs. 6000/- n its back in action!!! Ext sd card facility which this has (unlike the recent inconvenient trend where no ext sd card supported) saved all my prexious data like movies, songs etc which were otherwise not backed up in any cloud account. Note that my battery is still original n more than 3 yrs old but still up to the mark. These things like removable battery,ext card,fm radio inbuilt, etc matter a lot in real life than some selfie taking feature etc which is the current trend with fone cos... so Will continue pushing my luck until i find a satisfactory fone or till this 1 dies . Hope the first happens earlier ;)

  • how??/

  • Yours is N7105. Not N7100. Specify this clearly. Ok?.

  • yes it has lte

  • Mine fully supports 4G LTE

  • Well i'm finally upgrading. Had mine since release and it has served me well. A bit laggy now and current apps seem to give endless trouble but I think that it's just a compatibility issue with 4.4.2

  • flash CM

  • I've had my Note II for 3.5 years too and have been thinking about replacing it before it dies. Looking at the Galaxy 7 since the Note 7 was recalled. Let us know what you purchased and how you like it!

  • It has been my do all buddy for last 3.5 yrs. just last week it suddenly stopped working.. Gets Hun up on power on screen :( service centre said motherboard gone. Now I am in a void cos no other fone seems to replace it fully, doing survey but no fone fits the bill!!! Either too pricey or compromises This fone used to do anything n everything for me. :( until a perfect replacement comes I will b changing motherboard n pull on till then. Samsung messed up in later fines with-non removable battery,no ext card, no write access to ext card n these I can't compromise on so perhaps samsung dug it's own grave!!!

  • my note 2 is 3 years old & still running smoothly. it is best mobile from samsung.

  • (Continuation)...and i currently have the latest Android Nougat on it (CM 14.1). I use my LG g3 stylus mainly for gaming, watching movies, and browsing. Comparing the specs of Note 2 from my 2 active phones, i can't decide if it's reasonable or practical to shell out $72 for an outdated unit (2012), but the specs and features can still catch up with my 2 current units. See below Main features that i use: Gaming Note 2 > G3 stylus > xperia sp Camera Note 2 > G3 stylus > xperia sp Internal rom/ ram Note 2 > xperia sp > g3 stylus Multitasking Note 2 > g3 stylus > xperia sp OS version Xperia sp (nougat/cm) > g3 stylus (lollipop) > note 2 (kitkat, but someone is working on porting Nougat) Data speed Xperia sp > note 2/ g3 stylus Otg Note 2 = xperia sp Battery G3 stylus > note 2 > xperia sp

  • Hello everyone! I don't know what to do with my dead Note 2 (2 yrs already). It doesn't boot anymore as the motherboard has been damaged (as per the technician). The repair costs ($72) or (Php 3500). I don't know if someone is still interested to buy it at a discount or if should i just throw it away. I currently use an LG G3 stylus and an Xperia SP. I use my sony primarily for calling, texting, downloading, and slight browsing. I still use it as my primary phone because of LTE, otg, amd

  • Pls help which one is better note 2 32g or spny m4 8gb pls help

  • After 2 and half years i sold my Note 2, I would like to mention that this phone never gave me a single problem and it worked flawless without any complain.But guys you have to move on as the world is evolving and we need to match the FUTURE and not the PAST. cheers!

  • my note 2 is 4g...and it very2 good...

  • bro u would update it from any samsung office in free that problem will solve automatically

  • my 4 year old note 2 is still kicking good!

  • All are okay, but battery backup is very poor.

  • Brother note 2 N7100 doesn't support 4g network so if u wanna need an LTE support u can jump for a 4g mobile like one plus 3 which is best in class and cheap in price

  • If u r tired of your note 2 u can try to go for one plus 3 . Its best hardware for the least price... But this note 2 I also have is really such a sweet phone that I too don't wanna go for another :D ... Cheers

  • I have this thing for 4 years now and I'm just tired of it but idk what to replace it with cause. V10 ? Note 4 ? V20 ? iPhone 6s (plus) ? Nothing is as perfect as Note 2 ! They're either expensive like v20 or has non-removable battery like iphones and s7 edge because I'm a battery killer. I think I'll just stick with it until it dies ... I hope not.

  • My note 2 is now 34 months completed very good smartphone this is . Camera quality now dull as compare to 2 years before . I have question about battery charging .charging time take above 2 and half hour with my original charger and when I used samsung fast charger of latest device it take below 2 hour .can I use new fast charger for my note 2

  • does it have Bluetooth?

  • Hello, My Note-2 has been not reliable since some months ago. I have problems keeping it on lately. It would black out and had been opening it and taking out the battery that, by the way is kind of new; just purchased it on August 2016. Could be a phone, not battery problem? Can it be fixed? I loved it all the time but need a reliable cell phone. Thanks.

  • See. Only N7105 supports LTE (not all frequencies). N7100 is a 2G / 3G only phone.

  • My Note 2. not start showing factory mode, charging port not not worked please help?

  • Very good phone fast in gaming. good camera.

  • proble with wi-fi,bluetooth cannot scan radio have to use manual scan

  • Iam not getting LTE function in my samsung NOte 2. Pls reply me if u have any suggetion.

  • The Galaxy Note 2 should actually still be sold today in my opinion. That's because the Note 5 is not shipped in many countries. Note 4 is still the nose advanced Note. But there should be a medium-class Note (which is the SGN3), and the sub-class Note (Note3 Neo and Note 2, which is actually (without LTE) the last Samsung-flagship with Radio). Sub-class does not mean, that they're bad. Nothing about them has physically changed since 2012. But the Note 2 would be a solid, well-equipped (+Stylus) phone, with a price tag below €200.

  • Some old routers do not have AUTO WiFi channel setting. That may cause the problem. I am using Nokia N8 as my primary phone (for voice calls and pictures), Nokia N79 (only for 2G coverage during travel - has BSNL prepaid SIM), Samsung Note 4 SM-910G for data, browsing and VoIP, Nokia 808 pureview for taking pictures and videos. All are flagship models. I gave my Note 2 N7100 to my parents and is still working. Please buy Note 4 in flipkart (India only) before it gets obselete because Note 4 is only the last superhit phone in the Note series that has OIS, dedicated memory card and SIM slot, removable battery and gorilla glass 4. Please note : I am not against Note 2 and 3.

  • overall very very good phone. Even its fallen many (once during running bike at speed of 65 km) tims but not a single scratch on glass. its very sturdy. battery backup is very good last up to almost 2 days. thanks samsung

  • Hi there... Thank you for responding to my question. I am able to connect to the wifi once i was sitting right close to the router... It means that my galaxy note 2 is able to connect to a wifi network if staying very near to the router... But it keeps turned up unable to connect to a wifi once i stepped back two steps or three... Is it the software which comes out with the problems or am I need to approach a technician? Thanks in advance> :)

  • Phone super!!! Use 3.5 year

  • My Note II still very strong after use it for 3 1/2 years. i Love it. Best smartphone for all time.

  • I don't know. Ask in Samsung service centre.

  • my samsung blacked out just like dat. can it be repaired???

  • My Note2 working well. After completed his 3years. There is no issues still now. Samsung Note2 is Best Mobile...

  • People are constantly complaining about their Note 2's motherboard not functioning after 2 years. Maybe it's just me, but mine has no problems, even after I upgraded to the S7 a week ago; 4 years and no problems! Despite the dated plastic design look and VERY outdated software #KitKat, it still functions very well! I just slap Nova Launcher on top of it s it's good. Good job, Samsung.

  • The router may have wnabled MAC address filtering. Or check the wireless channel setting in the wireless device console page.

  • Mobile working is ok......but mother board getting damaged after 2 years of buying, not only mine many of my friend's Note 2 mobiles are this same mother board problem. I think Samsung is cheating the customers by sale this product. Because of this complaint, we have to think once again before purchasing of further Samsung mobile products...........Take care friends.

  • Nice looking and super amoled display But it's motherboard was shorted after three years of buying

  • Hey guys, I do have problems which I couldn't connect to wifi even though I have entered the correct password...

  • No. Only N7105 has limited support for 4G. I think it is not VoLTE enabled.

  • Samsung note 2 is having problen of catching fire you can check it on internet.... However feature of the phone is good.

  • is it 4g

  • using this phone for the past two years , it works great, the only drawback is Samsung has not released any update. Overall the phone is good and people are still buying it no matter if its second hand..cheers!

  • Still working nice after 4years. Just only the gallery have lagging issues

  • Ya ya. You will expect Android 7.0 even for Samsung corby series. Lol.

  • everything is fine .Only OS update requires :)

  • I am using Samsung Galaxy Note-II since September-2012. There is no problem with the phone even a single minute and still I am using Note-II. Now the phone is required battery as it is became old. No software update to Note-II. It is only bad.

  • Q2 2012 till Q3 2016. Still alive and kicking - the original battery included. It meet the cement floor in N occasions. Very robust. I was a happy owner except the lack of IR blast. Ohh well my new S7 edge doesn't have it either.

  • phone is good but camera is not be claried to other camera and last one not a 4G phone is it problem is not a longer problem

  • Facilities are ok. But camera clarity is worst despite of having digital stabilization. If you take a lot of pictures, then Samsung Note 4 will suit yiu because it has OIS and OS.

  • used since two won't to upgrade to 4.4.2 how help me out through my g-mail ebenezerbaffoe223 @gmail.com but very nice phone no problems detected but help me upgrade it send the process through my g-mail above

  • Not in N7100 model.

  • Great Device ! using since July 2013. Not even a single problem occurred ever. Fully satisfied.

  • is 4g support in note 2

  • One of the best smart phone Samsung has ever made.

  • is 4g support in note 2

  • Best smartphone I have had ..reliable mate...bought her on Jan 17th 2013...her performance is much better than Alpha and note 5 i have bought later

  • This is the best phone i ever own .. just want to say thanks my friend for being with me for a long time .. now R.I.P :'(

  • Bought this baby on 11.11.2013 and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. Camera- 8MP camera still outperforms most new mid range smartphones. Battery - Gets me through a day even though the battery is almost 3 years old. OS - Android 4.4.2 is old but who gives a damn when the phone is 3 years old. No hiccups. Root - Rooted the 2nd day after I bought this baby home and no issues what so ever. If you know what you're doing then you can't go wrong with rooting this monster. Ram - 2GB is more than enough if you are rooted and know how to manage how apps run. I have more than 20 different apps installed including facebook,messanger,whatsapp etc and still have about 900mb free ram at any time. (secret - Greenify + wannam expose module + titanium backup) I'd love to keep talking about the phone but the bottem line is this. If you are on a budget and need a phone that will age extremely well, Then you can NOT go wrong with this bad boy. If you love it then it will love you back and won't let you down. PS - You can buy more than 200000 accessories for Galaxy note 2 on Ebay and most of them are very cheap which is really great because that way you can keep changing back covers and what not when you feel like you're getting board. Kudos !

  • I too own Note 2.. looking at your comment if you prefer a strong mobile why cant you go for Nokia old handsets... smart phone is meant to have latest OS with latest features.. but Samsung failed to give update to its flagship mobile series.. such a shame.. I really repent owning note 2 now...

  • I would suggest.. shun Samsung.. it has become a crap...since the day I bought, android released 3 versions.. lollipop, Marshmallow and now nougat..i repent now.. if I would have bought Iphone 5 then I must be having a latest ios.. irrespective of what version of the phone I have

  • My Samsung Note 2, not searching my all contacts via dialer.

  • i think nokia 3310 is the best...hahaah

  • With this phone i don't need more options i used it since September 2014 It have every thing i want

  • With this phone i don't need more options i used it since September 2014 It have every thing i want

  • I want to say something about this crap company named Samsung , i have a note 2 phone and i am sorry i bought it , the phone have a damaged emmc chip from factory , i checked with emmc bugcheck from play store and it say "yes , insane chip" , in 2012 Samsung not admited first this problem with emmc chip, after media disclosure they say yes and promis to fix it via firmware , new coded firmware to bypass that bug , another thing is that they stop releasing new firmware lolipop or marshmallow for this phone and with this specs i think he handle this firmwares, why? because they want the people to throw this phone and buy another one newer , this is a crap company

  • Iphones are costly craps. They also called as non stinky garbages. You cannot do these with iphone : > Insert memory card > Cannot connect to other non apple devices via bluetooth and wifi > No seperate button for multitasking, recent apps and returning back > No OIS in most of the phones > No user removable battery. It is your money. So do not waste it in buying apple craps. Do not buy any mobile phone to show off. Buy a mobile phone that suits your budget and usage patterns. Apple phones are just for show off. No meaningful facilities are there in it.

  • Force stop and disable most of the google appa like news stand, books, music, hangouts etc except google contacts sync.

  • My Note II is dead since July 21,2016. Technician find No Problem in hard ware, soft ware does not work, WHAT TO DO.

  • If you have this Smart Phone and you are allow it go...You can never have such an amazing device again. SGNII is one of the best phone in the world. Content wise. We all know that it has been cheated by screen size by other smart phones. I love it. Irreplaceable.

  • Hei its an software issue Hei re software it

  • If you are comparing...compare Note 2 with Redmi Note series then...Redmi prime is a 4.7 inch screen phone, so not really fit for comparison. But if you compare Redmi Note 3 with Galaxy Note 2...a lot of things are better with the Redmi since it has latest technologies like IR port, more internal memory, bigger RAM, Fingerprint reader, etc....but Note 2 had NFC, AMOLED display, video calling capabilities, stylus, etc. too.

  • Hi! Could you please elaborate just a bit more on this? As I have a Note 2 lying with me for over an year in a similar condition. I tried all that I could to fix it...the Samsung guys say the motherboard is gone & replacing it is the only solution. Was it not how your friend's phone got fixed? TIA

  • Is the camera lens scratch-resistant ?

  • please I need help my Samsung Gt N7100 is having fault, is not displaying my sim card I have inserted up to three sims and it is not showing . I have visit the engineers and they can't find any problem because the phone is clean. why some said its hardware problem which I don't understand . so what can I do?

  • its actually a hardware issue. my friend got him just like that. he bring it to samsung. viola! its done with just a little over 30 euro.

  • I have mine for three years as well and had same happened couple of wweeks ago . What I did was removed the battery and put it back in. So far so good, well I love my note 2 but I am on the hunt for a new one now.

  • Yesterday, my phone all of a sudden refused to reboot. I went to sleep and woke up with it off. It arrives at the samsung and phone name on a black screen, and will not go further. I tried to hard reset it, but no joy. Has anyone had this experience? My phone is loaded with personal stuff and apps so I don't want to bring it in for repairs if all my data is exposed. what can i do?

  • It happened to my phone recently with exactly same situation in your case. The phone's lifespan is approximately same as yours (3 years old). I think I grilled my phone with overuse too. Even the technician of phone repair workshop can't diagnose what's going on with it.

  • i purchased samsung note ii, how to check its orignal or korean??

  • I got my note 2 in June 2015, and its still working fine till date,though the screen is broken! .I love my Samsung Galaxy note 2

  • Lost my Note2 few days ago. Planning to buy a new one which is also Note series. Is Note4 recommendable?

  • Hey, don't go back to stock. If you do a clean install: wipe caches, system you should be fine. I have flashed ROM after ROM on mine and am VERY happy with the boost in performance. Disclaimer-i am l900 but it's the same, no? Good luck

  • I totally agree! Great phone, unbeatable! Too bad Samsung isn't listening to their customers.

  • Got it fall 2012 my gt n7100 died on Dec 2015. At first it started to go off or need a restart to function again. After a couple of diays it stock to the Samsung and model names. Guess I ve grilled the mother card by intensive use. FortunatelyI got a note 2 with a died display and could recover a device from two halves. Besides what seems a kind of programed almost sudden death I am in love with this device.

  • Try mokee or CyanogenMod. The marshmallow Roms still need work, but I have had great results with lollipop ROM - CyanogenMod 12.1. of course, you flash a ROM at your own risk. Proceed with caution. But for me, it was worth the effort and risk

  • I would rate Samsung Note II, is the best phone. I bought it on early 2013, still going strong. In fact I want to change the phone, but I couldn't find a single phone which is superior than the Note- II. Even the samsung later models of Note phones are not equal to this.

  • yes

  • N7105 supports, N7100 doesn't

  • GT-N7105 is the LTE version of the Note II. I still have one in use.

  • I believe the N7100 does not support LTE. It's a 3G only 4 year old phone with no support at present. It would be advisable to go for the phones which are currently supported and readily available in the market.

  • nfc?

  • I like Samsung Brand .I had an old Samsung galaxy gio that is ok yet since 2013 , but i received as a gift a new galaxy note II with 12 GB memory and with memory card of 64 GB The card drop down without use and I buyed one new that have not yet arrived I have the phone connected to an Usb port of my Acer laptop and I view that it says charging but the battery drops down as well Do i have to configure something extra ? Thank you for your attention

  • I want to buy another Note 2 but I want one that's factory unlocked. I looked at all the different models and I saw this (N7100) and I'm wondering if this is the right one if I want it to work with Windmobile in Canada. Also, does this model have LTE? I know here it says it does but on other sites it doesn't say if it has it or not. So, if any body knows, can you please confirm that this is the international model and is the one that works for all carriers especially Windmobile. Thank you.

  • Mine still good until now. I have the same problem of dying but not in note 2. On my tab 1. Samsung n6200. It just died but maybe of over use and over charging. The technician told me that mother board already gave up due to over using.

  • do a hard reset, and your galaxy note 2 will not laggy anymore

  • Can u tell where can I get cfw file(s) Thanks be 4

  • I absolutely love my Note2. Everyone laughs because I have not upgraded to Note 7; I always say if it's not broke don't fix it. I've had it since 2012 and it's still going strong. It dropped on the floor and the ground and the only thing scratched up is the battery cover. I will continue to use the phone until the wheels fall off. BEST PHONE EVER!

  • Still using GT-N7100, fell almost 100 times, digitizer (Display) broke once and replaced. I must admit this phone is rock solid. Just laggy these days after rooting with custom rom (6.x.x) Marsh Mellow. Now planning to replace custom rom with stock.

  • My phone (note 2) is not yet died,i buy it from october 10 2012 but it is still okay,it just a little bit laggy but i am still using now

  • my phone (samsung note 2 ) died also in june 30. Did your phone got it fix...

  • I had the same problem. It goes on /off by itself. I have to turn it off again so it will become normal. It finally shut off. I used for 3 years. So odd that it just didnt work.

  • Any good lollipop ROM with S-Pen support for this phone?

  • probably because its old as dirt

  • mine is not picking network especially data network in less than 4 months

  • now days im facing a problem in my note 2...the displays light up down then phone automatically off...cant understand whats the problem...can u guys tell me something about it?

  • this means time to day bye

  • My phone stopped working on the 29th June. It has this black dialogue box with what looks like the phone specs in highlighted text, I was told it needs to go back to the factory to be reset.

  • 7/1/2016. Phone died for no reason. Completely dead.

  • Nice one.How do i access it?

  • Mine also stop working..just display of samsung galaxy note II start from midnight 28/06/2016 until now. Why?

  • Oh wow, mine just started playing up on 29 June 2016, its not working properly at all. I agree - an expiry date.

  • Yup I have seen the specs then only replied....compare both then u will get to know...

  • ... My Note 2 is not booting. When i power it on it'll just display SAMSUNG and stop there. It's so annoying cos it's not long I got it...

  • There will be no further update for Note II from Samsung.

  • mine is exactly 3yrs and got stocked around 9.15pm GMT yesterday. i guess note 2 has an expiry date

  • Waiting for the New latest updates..... from Samsung do it fast....

  • It worked well for 3 yrs and now suddenly dead. Got stuck on Samsung Logo screen, flash / factory reset didnÂ’t work. Seems to be a hardware issue.

  • Not officially. The latest official update released by samsung for Note II is 4.4.2 (Kitkat).

  • Please can I upgrade my Samsung galaxy note 2 to lollipop version?

  • Please can I upgrade my Samsung galaxy note 2 to lollipop version?

  • This what I said in Note 4 area. Stop dominating others as if you only have 6 senses. Do you really have 6th sense?.

  • Check your grammar. Did I say J7 2016 is same as Note 2?. Go and search for the meaning of almost similar. Stop bashing everywhere. Better STFU.

  • are u blind ? processor , battery, camera , aperture whts left all these are different..check ur facts

  • Note 4 is best ever

  • No. It requires hardware support, which is not possible to add afterwards.

  • Buy Samsung Note 4. It rocks with OIS.

  • See the specs and then reply here. J7 2016 is almost similar to Note 2.

  • Many thanks again for your reply, I have been looking at moto g 2nd gen and couldn't afford the latest one, or a htc m7 or nexus 4 maybe 5 n now I'm not in the position to save up as my htc wildfire has just died on me today, so im without any phone now, as I don't even have a spare brick laying around to use. My budget is £60 ATM, so I'll have to go for something asap. I was after a half decent camera 8mp up and unlocked or locked and if poss a micro sdcard. Also I like to have radio to if poss.

  • Depends on your choice....

  • 60% I say...so j7 2016 still better

  • Thank you. Is there any possibility to make the phone 4G Ready? Thanks.

  • Hello. I wanted to know whether Samsung Note 2 GTN7100 supports 4G. I bought the 2012 release phone Please reply. Thanks.

  • No.

  • No. Only 7105 supports.

  • Hello. I wanted to know whether Samsung Note 2 GTN7100 supports 4G. I bought the 2012 release phone Please reply. Thanks.

  • It depends upon number of factors like are you looking at carrier locked or unlocked devices, availability of models in your region and usage preferences like camera, removable battery/memory card, etc. It would be good to go for as current device as possible, which can offer the latest updates as well as best bang for buck based on your requirements.

  • Only lenovos do not have backlight. Samsung J7 2016 will surely have backlight for the bottom 3 buttons.

  • Buy Samsung J7 2016. It has 99% similar features of Note 2.

  • Many thanks for your reply, but it still leaves me clueless on what to buy, im a young disabled person, ive got servre back probelms so unemployed and money is very tight, that was why im looking to buy on 2nd hand market for a phone, and while in dining my research I noticed a lot of people upgrading their devices to latest android system, I'm a novice when it comes to technology its all gobbally guk to me bigtime, any recommendations will be much appreciated thanks.......Â….

  • Don't go for these outdated devices. You can look for some of the current entry or middle level devices (based on your budget), which should be good for your requirements.

  • nope

  • charge your battery with universal charger,

  • Does the note 2 have 2 sim option

  • J7 2016 and note 2 has a lot of difference in terms of specs...big difference in processor 14nm vs 32nm u get 37c max temp on j7 2016 with heavy gaming note 2 it's more maybe 47c ,octa vs quad core,old a7 vs New a53 64bit cortex,graphics Mali-t830 vs mali-400mp4,camera 13mp &5mp f/1.9 flash on both the sides vs 8mp f/2.6 & 1.9mp,battery 3300maH vs 3100maH,slim 7.8mm vs 9.4mm,I get 2.5 days of battery backup idk about note 2

  • J7 doesn't even have a gyroscope. no digital compass. no s pen. no LED backlight.

  • Should I buy Note 2 in June, 2016? or S4? or buy nothing at all?! It's really cheap nowadays

  • N7100 has inbuilt radio. Which model do you have?

  • its agreat phone but i don't know why it hangs sometimes when i try dialling.but usually the other functions are ok.i have to reset each time this happens. pliz advise

  • Good phone. However, no FM Radio ... tried downloading radio app from playstore, all need internet connection to work. So am wondering, does this phone come without radio, or its just mine!!!!!

  • which better redmi mi 2 prime vs samsung note 2

  • Big question. Note 2 and J7 (2016) have similar specs.

  • Maybe parts... and system of a unit...

  • its because of its 2gb ram. if you upgrade it to l or m it will hang.. thats why its not upgradable to l or m for its smoothness

  • How come j7 can handle lollipop and maybe Marshmallow while note 2 can't. Can someone explain!

  • It's a really good phone. Myne broke after a year because it was thrown sadly. You won't regret buying the phone. Obviously the Note 4 is going to better so that should'nt be a turn off!

  • Just zoom and see the edges in the picture. It appears blur or not sharp edges. Camera clarity is not as clear as Nokia N8, 808 and Samsung Note 4.

  • i have been using this phone since three years...i don't think i have never taken this phone to samsung service centre...great camara, superb features and exceellent RAM...it's 2 GB but, never had a problem though using too many apps...it never hangs and it's pan is a great feature....my daughter likes to draw the things with it...hahaha... No cons.....perfect phone

  • This is a stupid thing to do... tap the back of your phone... in the middle 5 times if it doesnt work... do this go to dial mode.... *#011# then press the menu KEY and choose wifi. Set the WIFI Saving mode to OFF.

  • How did u root it and flashed a custom ROM and Eclipse V7 with Agni kernel?

  • Am facing big problem in my mobile, it's not charging. when am touched service center then they told me your mobile charging point (SUB PBA) is not working its needs to change. can any one give me information that how to charging my mobile battery, i need to open my phone as soon as possible. Help me guys.....

  • Hello darrel, Thanks for the tip! However, I cannot find advanced settings on my galaxy grand prime. Any idea? Thanks!

  • if your phone is getting hot, even thought your unit is on and screen is off, go to settings >> then check for the advanced settings if i'm not mistaken then change the "Keep Wi-Fi on During Sleep" to Never (increases data usage) because, if it is activated or choosen by Always, it would be obviously getting phrone to heat, because data usage gets your unit heat at any times.. and how much longer the data or Wifi is Activated. it's just a suggestion opinion, just try, thanks.

  • Get Note 4 because all note and S series phones after Note 4 and S5 do not have removable battery.

  • s7

  • Hi I have note 2 really awesome phn but now I want to purchase latest one so please give me correct advice which one I buy iPhone 6 or Samsung s7

  • No. Only N7105 can connect to 4G.

  • No man. It is only a 2G / 3G phone. I think only N7105 can connect.

  • Hi, anyone knows why my wifi doesn't work? when i put it right to the modem it works but with low speed, the bluetooth works fine.

  • No.

  • Is GT-N7100 can connect to 4G?

  • My parents are using N7100 and I am using Note 4 N910G. I feel Note 4 is better than Note 2 in terms of facility and camera clarity. Both phones are same in terms of good quality.

  • Note 4 is ten 1000 times better.

  • My phone is getting too hot, heat what can I do with it.

  • I would be more interested in downclocking for longer battery life.

  • Lollipop or Marshmallow is terribly unstable and ugly, I would highly unreccommend against it. Avoid it like the plague.

  • Note 3 is a thousand times better.

  • Got this phone a month aago.First thing I did was to upgrade it to 4.4.2 cuz by default it was running 4.1.2 . Then I noticed battery drain so I rooted it and flashed a custom rom, Eclipse V7 to be specific. And it friking flies, with the rom you also get the Agni kernel and you can overclock it up to 2.0 GHZ if you need. Regardless, you also get the S6-S7 customized specific look in all apps and menus etc and it's buttery smooth. Note 2 ain't dead yet.

  • Hello friends i am using Samsung galaxy note2 16gb n7100 ..now a days i am facing problem with wifi network. .its showing saved and secured. .i have tried all the online solutions like reset router, hard factory reset,various wifi analyser applications and all stuff..still cant get the exact solutions...phone connects flawlessly to hotspot network but can't connect to router network please give me solution of this..bluetooth works fine so i guess there is no hardware issue. ..ur advice is appreciated. .

  • WiFi & Bluetooth problem at it's best!! shame to manufactures

  • no one cares

  • I have note 2 and in on 4.1.2 and when i try to look for on update on the ohine or through kies. Its says layest software already instakked but clearly it is not. Any clues how to update other tshn installing the updste manualky???

  • Had this phone for 2.5 years. Great phone! Now bluetooth died. Plastic cover peeled off... Bad support for new Android versions. Android version lags very much after a while. All in all it has been a very good phone, fallen a lot, never broke until today :-/ Now i have to buy a new phone and can't decide which one can replace it.

  • Hi! I had my samsung note II but then it had lcd problem, so I bought a samsung j7 now. but then it also has lcd problem now, what will I do? The samsung j7 is still covered in warranty service. does that mean they can fix it free? and why did j7 presented problem like this when in fact i didnt even dropped it or something. is samsung really has sensitive lcd. LCD replacement is so pricy

  • This phone great work super fast on net I like very much

  • getting bored with kitkat ..may anyone give idea for how to root for 4.4.2 vrsn..is der any problems caused after rooting it...regarding hardware or operating system..please let me kno frnds..thnks..

  • I still have my Note II (T-889 T-Mobile) with Lollypop 5.1.1 CenOS and this phone rocks after 3.5 years!! but I have no reasons to spend more money in a new one... Is superfast and refuses to die. In addition it has a case that keeps it like new. If it were a non removable battery one it never had lasted 3.5 years!

  • Don't flash a custom ROM on this. All the S-Pen apps would be lost (they're Samsung propietary and they're not on the Play Store) and also the MHL TV-Out stops working :(

  • The 4G version for AT&T is called Samsung Galaxy Note II SGH-i317. Surprisingly, its specifications are NOT here in gsmarena :/

  • this is 4g

  • i don't know how to make conference calls

  • Does anyone have problems that they can't send video messages?

  • hey, can you tell me SAR of body (EU) for this Note2? Tnx

  • good smartphone strong too and better than note 3 in strength and os stability and battery life-time

  • I just love the screen size and after upgrading ma phone, it's been running smoothly. It perfect for playing games - fifa 14 to fifa 16, Real racing 3, WWE immortals, etc. I will like to see an upgrade to 5.1 or 6.0. though.

  • Please do not buy it because Samsung company do not provide us new update however they provide 4.4 kitkat

  • This is a best mobile

  • This phone is awesome!!! Been using it for four years or so, and not planning to buy a new phone until this thing died.☺

  • after 39 months of mostly satisfaction .. my n7100 died (not really it still working but accidentally dropped for the xxxth Time .. but this one cracked the glass screen & where i live fixing this matter is expensive & unworthy) ... truly a remarkable handset .. i owned galaxy pro & S2 before N7100 & they were nightmares .. after samsung declared there wont be lollipop update .. i rooted mine & removed the bloat software ... results was WOW ... time to move to another handset

  • I using Note-II since the year 2012 December. It is good but little bit slow in opening applications. There is any possibility to upgrade Software?

  • Don't listen to what he said, it's not true. 4.4.2 is totally fine and actually makes it go a bit faster. His Note 2 is probably cluttered with some unwanted apps.

  • do. not upadate ur ph many issues in ur.future the 1st prblm is drain ur battery fast then the 2nd is wifi prblm many issues in upadate on 4.4.2

  • Hello Frnds I want to know about the best version for Note 2 i am using it from last 2 yrs jelly bean now am boored so tell me about the best Rom and the Version t0.......

  • My Note 2 has difficulties in booting completely. It boots half way, then off. Can someone suggest what should be done.

  • I've had this phone since Jan 2013, and started on custom Roms in about 2014. I've gone through about 20 roms, and am currently running 6.0.1 with the latest Resurrection Remix build (gets updated atleast once a month!). Can't recommend enough. Brings it bang up to date, why bother dropping £600 on a new phone... Tried the undervolting and overclocking route with Agni Kernel, and the DN4 rom, bit of a pain to be honest. Was stable at 1.8ghz, but its not worth the hastle IMO.

  • Good question !!!. Rofl.

  • Force stop and disable all the unnecessary / bloatware like google play music, google books, google games, hangouts etc. Set the device brightness to manual at less than 30% when indoors and at night. Do not keep widgets in any home screen. Turn off auto sync and WiFi google search location in the settings. Just force stop all the rarely used apps (like bookmyshow, train availability etc) after using them. Buy a new original battery and test with the same usage pattern. Then come to a conslusion.

  • It is because of the WiFi channel setting problem in the router or modem. It must be set to AUTOMATIC. Not to a particular channel like 1, 2 or so on.

  • My note 2 cannot connect to the Internet on my boss' house while when I'm in other house, I can connect and can use the internet. Why is that so? Can you help me? Thank you.

  • The note 2 was released in 2012. How come you have been using it for 5 years?

  • I've been using my note II for more than 5 years with the Verizon now and never had a single problem. Its a perfect phone, battery last for a few days even heavy use. The only pros is the phone was a little heavy than other 5"5. Of course its an old phone.

  • My phone is having battery problem...it drains so fast... Overall is okay But I hope can upgrade to 5.0 and above

  • Upgrate to android 5.1 with cyanogen mod unoficial 12.1, works great

  • I've had my phone since 2013 and I'm still using it. Fell multiple times and a few scratches here and there but a tough phone. Screen is still immaculate without using screen protector. camera lens inside got dirty so had to disassemble the phone and clean the inside with alcohol and cotton but it's back to new. Still using the original battery which doesn't keep charge as good as it did, so that's a replaceable item. Otherwise it still keeps up with today's games and has a great screen, huge display and the s-pen is still great. Only issue I faced is I got bored of waiting for OS support...so now it's running resurrection remix Android 5.1.2 and a custom Asus Zen UI which looks awesome and the menu animations and desktop customizations are awesome. Only issue with the new mod...occasionally it reboots after using a specific app...sometimes. I love this phone and never regret buying it. If I would I would get the newest note and stick with Samsung.

  • it has a very bad problem as i faced a sudden death with my phone note 2

  • This was how long phone batteries lasted back in 2012. Some lasted longer, others shorter but generally it was a common complaint with different phones. The Note 2 was one of the better ones, with its 3100mAh battery and SAMOLED screen. BUT that was back in 2012. Phones today (2015) have much better processors, better multi-core layouts, optimized code and batteries.

  • Guys i have a tip. Before you upgrade to kitkat, make sure you backup all of your files from internal storage and sd card. Bcoz i got a problem when i upgraded the software. My phone hangs and the battery drops easily. I have 50 percent at night but empty when i woke up. So after you upgrade, make a hard reset or reformat your phone. Now i dont have any problem. No hang, battery life goes back. I can use it in two days without charging. Please reformat also your sd card before inserting. Hope this will help.

  • I am using Note 2 N7100 for almost 2 and half years now. And believe me it has not given me any single problem. It has great specs. Its software and hardware has the capacity to compete with todays latest flagships. Todays mid rangers are coming near to it but no one can overpass it in terms of performance.

  • I have gone through the same experience. The only solution: change the battery. costs Rs 1,800.

  • It`s a great phone, I have it now for almost 2 years. The 2 GB RAM makes the difference. My next phone will be for sure a Note 4 or at least a Note 3.

  • Well, SD card can be a reason that phone lag.That is why new phones doesnt support SD cards. For custom roms go to xda developers site. Custom rom for Note 2 is probably build on KitKat kernel,so...

  • Samsung should give official 5.1.1 update since the note2 is still a capable device following Apple that still rolls out ios 8.4 to iphone 4s which is 4 years. Why else should we buy flagships?

  • Guys, i got this note2 for about two years now, with costumized and rooted room and happy owner, for about 10.days now i did bay the note edge the european n915fy and i admit there is better screen but nothing else is better than note2, the speed shrinks and warms your battery almost in boiling temperatures, 3gb ram is not enough to run internet explorer and it shoots off onstantly, there is sporty apps even you disable somehow will popup notification asking you for a ride out and counting your steeps if you made over 1000 or not and thats real jocke, no fm-radio, so you better keep your note2 as i will to.

  • U must go to a market to get flushed ur software and install the new one.. i hope that will help u..

  • why u plan to buy too?! I heard the there is a buy 1 discount 50% for the second one! Further more got super high trade value for old note to note 5. Plus, got free gift as well. It seen like a good deal

  • not really sure got there is yes and no answer at the same time but if happen to u get the update thn just update it no wrong though

  • Install custom rom may void your warranty, better not to do this unless your warranty is over. I would rather to upgrade my phone instead flashing, afraid anything might happen.

  • You mean which model? note 2 or note 5? note 2 yes it support 4G lte but it seem that the speed is lower if compared to others new series phone. Not really sure maybe you can find it through here >>>

  • Please tell me that is this a 4g Phone or not? Because GSM ARENA shows that its a 4g phone. But Air-Tel refuses.

  • I saw gsmarena did announced that note 2 are eligible update to lollipop 5.0. Imho, even it is able to upgrade to lollipop but don't think can it can run it smoothly. Better remain with the current version if everything is fine. If you are insist to try, get a better version to experience it.

  • what's ur say for Note 5? yay or nay? did see much improvement in the S-pen, the design does look like a pen ^^ feature of writing w/o unlocking phone is nice

  • Back up your data first and than format your phone. If is still not working, I suggest you sent it for repair. But nowadays is not worth to sent for repair as they are charging high with little effort to put in for repair. If I were you, I would have consider to upgrade to better series as note 2 are pretty old phone now. Even the note 5 are coming soon.

  • 3 years of usage and still no problems.. working like charm for me..

  • The price of this phone have shoot up again since the released of Note5. Turns out many wants the older version of Note series. This is bad.

  • This is a perfect smartphone. If only Samsung keep making smartphone with plastic and ignore the plastic-haters. Keep it over 9mm thick for larger battery sake. This is what I imagine Note 5 would be. Not some useless piece of glass.

  • How can you change the save for like download pictures and etc. I like the phone , but whats the best internet plan that dont mess up or slow , straight talk, net 10 , or tmobile or att , plz give ur opinion

  • you need to have note 2 n7105 model that support 4g

  • super model .easy to use

  • Its ok, decent performance for everyday usage like internet, apps, arcade games, but not for new heavy 3d games (although, it smoothly run gta:sa with medium settings). And its flagship device in past so you will have all sensors you can imagine, many roms (include newest CM12.1) and many accessories.

  • this is the best phone.

  • is that still ok this model?seek for opinion.TQ

  • I now have a LG G4, the Note II was one of the best things to come across my life, apart from the chrome fading...

  • My Note II suddenly died Yesterday morning for no reason. battery swap or charger swap didn't help, Samsung and TELUS simply saying because I bought this device on March 2013 then we are not responsible for it anymore. Looks like they have put a time bomb in this phone which would kill the device sometime after two years warranty finished. I am so angry loosing my App data with this device.

  • Hi Im samsung galaxy Note 11 N7100 user. I would like to know is there anyway I can retrieved my lost document which was been re-set. I really hope samsung centre can assist me tq.

  • happend to me too a while back. while it COULD be the battery, id most likely say its the charger! go to a store and try to charge it there with a standard (no fakes, they dont work as good!) charger there in the store. notice chargers have 2 parts: the thing that connects to the socket, and the USB cable itself. for me, it was the USB cable itself that was not working properly. I tried a couple other ones and finally i found one that charges mine SUPER fast. i only had to change the cable, not the actual charger piece. try a few options in a store and see what works best!

  • My note2 taking so much time to recharge what should I do

  • is this unit support the 4G SIM

  • Thats if you're in the uk. Other countries have confirmed lollipop support for note ii

  • If samsung will not release lollipop please update 4.4.4 oficial

  • Read. This news from GSMARENA. Posted today. I have Note II .. SO no update.

  • Does this model supports 4G?

  • In your own interest, never update to Lollipop even if your note 2 gets an OTA update for Lollipop. However, if you like a childish, whitish, buggy, flat, round-iconed interface called material design, then Lollopop is for you. Lollipop is the worst android version from Google so far IMO.

  • Note2 will get L up date?

  • Yes ....i got this news from sammobile ...

  • Hey does it support lollipop ..?? I mean have it got an update of lollipop..... ??? I have this note 2 From 1 year.. And now its display is finished !!!

  • today samsung has confirmed to launch android lollipop for note 2

  • I m using note 2 from last 1.5 year its awesome phone

  • I m using note-2 from last 2.2 years....n it is ultimate till today...i hv never face any prblm...i m 100% satisfied. but now...as its datacable get cracked at the tips...i purchased a BANDRIDGE datacable n it reduces d charging time. 3 things i hate in note-3 1) it is a thick n heavy mobile phone. 2) low resolution front camera. 3) and its chrome around its edge...cming out frequently n leaving dull spot.

  • I Like It So Much Because it Fantastic one

  • No. Only N7105 is support 4G LTE.

  • No. Only N7105 is support 4G LTE.

  • What safe do you need, when you want to clean your phone from your stuff, it will make fabrics new the first time you started to setup your phone after you bought from shop!

  • Does NOTE 2 N7100 supports 4G LTE ???? Which is specified in this page !!! CHeers, AJ

  • Is it safe?

  • factory default but save your numbers on sim , you will also have to put all apps if not backed up to google servers. Do backup first !

  • buy new phone or get new screen which will be expensive, this happens with LCD screens so nothing unusual

  • To reset and clean up your phone compete, all you have to do is, press and hold the three buttons all together volume up, menu button and power button till the phone swithches off and start-up when the screen black&white writen N-7100 Note 2 shows up release all buttons and then with volume up&down chose the menu that says to reset your phone to it's standards...and with power button short press to confirm the action, and then all apps and data will be cleaned from your phone but not the sdmemorycard, let the phone finish it's operation and will self restart asking owner to setup new settings, bcz you just wiped off all from phone, good luck.

  • It such a nice device , I've been using it for like 2 years since the 1st release , and I download a lot off apps and many phone number , how can I erase all of my data w/out doing it 1 by 1, I want my phone data clear as the first time I bought it , any advice?

  • You will have to change the USB cable came along with the charger.

  • I use Note 4 charger and need about 45 minutes to full charge.

  • Over time, the battery gets affected, check if it is proper condition i.e. not swollen. OR Check n delete battery draining apps which are of no use. battery monitoring apps are available on the play store for that singular purpose. Also, i'd suggest buy another phone.. good exchanges going on, on retail websites like flip... Good luck

  • my note 2 taking 0-100 % charging 4 hours... plz suggest me what to do....? plz tell how much time u r mobile takes time to charge full my note 2 is 2 years old....

  • i have vertical line on may screen what is the best thing to do?

  • no such problems ! Use fast reboot and greenify! Did u clear the cache and dalvik cache after flashing the rom ? check instructions on the page of rom !

  • Samsung should learn from apple to keep updating there old devices. So they too cam enjoy new features. Cheap marketting tricks by samsung. My phone keeps crashing all time, they even stop software background running services.

  • check out a) benghazi rom 5.1.1 (very slim and clean) and b) resurrection remix (5.1.1) with various and useful tweaks e.g. good audio (most 5.0.x roms had "low sound/speaker volume" issue) on xda forums. also, check out xposed modules........may find something useful there in the 'downloads' section.

  • Very nice and early years

  • Do you have any experience regarding others...bc just now I am using the Phantom. ..but I think dn4 was better than this bcz it has good look and features. ..isn't it? What a by other Rome?

  • My friend, you are misleading people, it doesn't restart phone bcz the battery is old, my note2 battery is old 3'5.years old and have no problem at all, the only thing it takes little bit longer time to charge than before.

  • That is normal. It just a sign telling you to change the battery with a new one. Samsung battery lifespan is only 2 years. Use it more than that then you will get a phone that constantly rebooting and automatic restart over and over again. Pop in a new battery the problem will be gone. Note 2 anf S2 are both pretty old phone and im sure you had used them for more than 2 years. 5 years of not changing the battery will give you a bloated battery. Yes, it look like it about to explode but its not. All of my old feature phone have bloated battery and it break the back panel with bulging or potruding area.

  • That room is the worst rom i have ever tried in my note, go for Phantom or Diamond room or if you are the 240dpi user go for ultra note2 1.2v and flash one other keybord over the one is already on it.

  • Guys...I have updated on dn4...it's awesome but has a major problem that it became blank some time...no movement and compulsory have to restart. ..is anybody facing the same? If give me any solution. ..

  • I have been using this phone for more than 2 years and it's functioning ok. The only problem is fast bettery drainage which is true for many phones . since I am on the run, I have also purchased power bank which keeps me safe till I come home. Since it is a good phone, I think it deserves an upgrade to lollypop.

  • Our phone is capable of running lolipop samsung should release an update for note 2. Not everybody can afford to buy note 3 or 4 they are too expensive. I guess samsung is trying to force us to buy note 3 and 4 by not releasing an update. I hate samsung for this.

  • I use go launcher z . . It is will drain my battery? Coz i had bad battry . . Its drain soo fast .

  • Note 2 is stuck on 4.4.2. It will never receive lollipop despide all those sites saying it will. It has good specs and it can run 5.0 without a problem but they will never release an official update for the phone because of the marketing problems. If it was for all the old phones to receive new software then what is the point on releasing/ buying a new phone?! A new phone always come with new software. So if you want 5.0 buy a new phone

  • The android 5.0 update has been officially cancelled .. see the final phase info .. now it's written as cancelled .. now we have to stay on 4.4.2 or flash custom roms guys

  • when IS android 5.0 Coming out for note 2 . we are waiting for it Samsung Should not disappoint Us.

  • I left my phone 37 at 2 am . . When i wake up at 6 . . Its became 13% . . It is normal? If not . . why? Coz i didnt running any app . . Please help me . .

  • Did we receive V5.0 OTA update from Samsung? I know Note 2 will get Android V5.0, but is limited to specific regions. Are we covered under this?

  • Android 5.0 is waste. Note 2 is a good phone. Do not make it a garbage by installing 5.0.

  • What wrong with u guys. Note 2 is already too old. Either you have no cash to buy a modern phone or you are clueless on smartphone. I advice u to buy note 4 or stick to your Nokia 3310 and stop writting nosense.

  • What is the code for the hidden settings of this Samsung Note II SHV-e250L ? Please I need help in here I can't connect to LTE but our area is already LTE cover as well as my phone it's already LTE Capable.

  • How to get or what is the code to get tha seetings for LTE in Samsung

  • The charge does not stay that long! yu better buy another smartphone other than samsung if yu had an idea of running wit dis f**in phon!

  • Don't worry about it. I figured out how to fix the chrome using my own DIY. I use silver vinyl and wrap it around the chrome rim. Then, I use hairdryer to stick it in place and use a blade to remove the excess. Plastic melt on plastic like a charm. Everyone should do this if you have this problem.

  • Don't you think it's a little bit late in the day to be complaining of peeling off chrome paints and better phones in the market,the Note 2 is almost 3 years old and has been discontinued by Samsung,if you want a modern day phone and looks I suggest you take a look at the Note 4,it will meet all your yearnings for a Super Phone to a T..

  • not good battery backup after updating lolipop

  • Nice phone

  • still in love with this phablet.... I love my galaxy note2★★★&#9733­;★

  • Does anyone update to lollipop v5 ? How about performance and battery after update ? Appreciate any reply

  • Probably the best phone ever. Using it for almost 2 years and work flawlessly, unless my version still not a 4g lte version (indonesian version). Mine's now on kitkat, oem OS. Decent image quality and sounds. With special bartery charger dedicated for note 2 by samsung and 2 batteries, my note 2 never stop doing its job 24h and really a plus point for me. I hope samsung would make a well built note device again soon with their reasonably useful accessories

  • i using note 2 realy ilike it.nice phone.

  • this phone fascinates me with new motion features of spen and zoom features in gallary. I always come across more and more features of same type which makes this phone miracle. recently I downloaded go launcher u.I. 5.00 and now I can simply open several apps through simple gestures. it has been more than one and a half years since I am using this phone and I am not at all in a position to change my phone. It had never given me any kind of problem. samsung rocks!!!

  • Don't worry be happy, bcz i has the gorilla glass it just bcz of copyrights laws it wasn't anounced, continue and enjoy please!

  • I'm using it since it came out. Never had problem with it. Very long batery life and hmmmm... what else to say? Good processor and 2GB of RAM makes it really fast (never seen it 'frozen' or lagging). The only thing I don't like about this phone is that it doesn't have Gorilla Glass but the one it has is ok. Has really nice 'writing stick' or whatever it is called. If u like big phones buy it :P

  • i just buy the note 2 mobile. I don't know good or bad pls suggest me.

  • DN4 is no good room, most of guy's complains about it, so forget it and go for "ultra note2 v1.2" or "Aliance" room or "deep impact roomm" they work charming.

  • i have install the dn4 rom but in process of installing it shows footer is wrong and signature authenication failed so what can i do plz tell me thanks in advance

  • No Lollipop update for the Samsung Galaxy Note II 04 May, 2015 The Samsung Galaxy Note II may be denied entry into the Lollipop world if the statement on Samsung Gulf's Facebook page is to be extrapolated to the global availability of the update. Thus, the two-generations-old flagship phablet is likely going to end up stuck on Android 4.4.2 KitKat in most markets. The news comes as a disappointment after a couple of months ago it was claimed by Samsung's Polish branch than an update for the Note II was planned. It won't be the first time that a Lollipop update has been region-dependent, but the chances are indeed getting slimmer.

  • I rooted my note2 and flashed dozens of different rooms and stuff to it and works like never before, i overclocked sumetimes just for fun even i had no need for more speed, never any serious problems at all, and i think this phone is greatest from them all!

  • You're wrong, this phone is still a beast and going strong.

  • At 2 and half years old,it's too long in the tooth to be recommending it to a new buyer,Note 3 is a better option if the cash is available..

  • Rooting your phone comes with a risk of potentially bricking it,which the manufacturer clearly warns against,proceed at your own risk,blame nobody but yourself for any adverse outcome..

  • It's your fault and please don't blame your phone. You had done something wrong and bricked your phone. Try to flashlatest stock rom ccheck csc

  • Try to flash latest stock rom according to the csc

  • Overclocking the cpu may lead to heating issues, low battery life. The internal heat can damage the chipset including the IC's

  • is really convert to lolipop how?

  • source of this info?

  • Superb phone ... excellent performance....but when is note 2 getting lollipop update?
