Some useful tips...

^Thanks

I am so amused with this phone! What a difference from my Nokia E72. I would have been much happier though if I did not have an issue with my SPen, And the battery drains relatively fast. I could go for 3 days without charging my Nokia, but with the Note2 it gets drained over 50% within the day.

BTW, the SPen's handwriting recognition is EXCELLENT. I have extremely bad handwriting yet it's still accurate in recognizing the letters!

Cycle the battery, drain it fully then re-charge as per instructions, around 3 times AFAIK. From then on, you can expect longer battery operating life, but that depends on your usage though, i.e open applications, sounds, etc.

I would buy a car charger, and a seperate indoor charger (for office use) if I were you.

May I ask you a thing, did you updated your Note 2 to the latest firmware? Kasi ito ang pansin ko dyan. Nung bago ang Note 2 ko, I can last up to almost 3 days on standby. Pero nung nag-update ako to 4.1.2, nagsimula siyang maging matakaw sa battery. From almost 3 days to almost 2 days nalang ang battery ko on standby.

install task manager apps or app killers.. so you could terminate apps running but you're not really using.

Lamang na lamang sa feature ang Note II. Okay ang multi window at best faces na feature. Ang lamang lang ng ipad mini eh mas malaki ang screen.

Nope. I have not done anything to my Note 2. all stock pa. hehe. Except for GoSMS.

Na addict ata ako sa high tech phone, sabi ng friends ko I am becoming autistic. Ayaw na din nila pumunta sa lugar na may wifi kasi hindi na naman ako makakausap

I need advise on the memory card. Microsdhc ba kailangan ko? The phone did not come with a manual kasi Can I buy 64 gb or okay na 32 gb?

Get a Sandisk Extreme 32GB microSDHC class 10 para mabilis.

If you a fond of taking pictures and video, best to get the 64 gb. 10 minutes of full HD video is already more than 1 gb.

yan pa lamang ng NOte II sa iP5, expandable memory storage.

[_Cathy_]

I don't take much pictures, and when I do, I transfer it agad sa PC.

What's the memory card for ba? Only for pictures and videos? I thought of getting one so I could store all the apps there. I don't want my phone to become slow once I start having more apps.

Also, where can I buy it here and how much would a 32 gb or 64 gb card cost me? DIgital walker doesn't have one available. I also checked CDR king, and I found the prices too low na I'm doubtful of the quality.

You don't need that much ung 64GB kung apps lang. Maliliit lang size ng apps except for some gaming apps. Personally i have use Transcend and Sandisk ne memory card so far okay naman.

ok naman siguro yung cdrking sd. buy ako nitong xmas, try ko muna yung 8gb nila namicro sd then mukhang ok naman. buy sana ako ng 32 gig pero 16 gig lang meron sila. so far so good.
ang maganda sa samsung yung mga t0rrent. pag naka download nako isang album, lipat agad sa sd card.
yung ipod 4 ko di ko na nilalagayan ng songs sobrang g*go ng itunes, binubura yung mga apps ko. jb kasi eh, hehe.
16 gig bumili na rin pala ako.

May mga branded na SD card din sa CDR-king afaik.

If you're around Greenhills, I would suggest ABACUS at the 3rd floor V-MALL. As usual, choose class 10 SD-cards. CDRKING only have class 4 or 6 which are much slower to read/write.
