Tech News Update: The Little Giant from Samsung, Galaxy Note 2. (Auckland, smartphone, repair, unlock, 095515344)


Key Features

  • 5.55in AMOLED display, 720x1280, 267 pixels per inch
  • Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
  • 1.6GHz, quad-core processor
  • 2GB RAM
  • S-Pen stylus

Samsung Galaxy Note 2


Introduction

We have the technology to put a man on the moon, tweet from Mars and record an entire series of television at the push of a button, but replacing paper and ink with bits and bytes has eluded us.
That doesn't mean that we haven't tried - far for it infact; we had the Palm Pilot in the 90s and those chunky Sony Ericssons with the flipdown keyboards ten years ago but nothing to date has felt like pen and paper.

Galaxy Note 2 with an iPhone 4S
Samsung thinks it's cracked it though, with the Note 2. As the name suggests, this is the second generation of Samsung's Galaxy Note smartphone and falls somewhere between the smaller (but still huge) Galaxy S3 phone and the 10.1in Note tablet.
The Note 2 is the first Samsung device to get Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box, but it's that enormous 5.55in screen and S-Pen stylus that make this phone stand out from the crowd.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2: Design and Feel
Earlier this year, many said how the 4.8in Galaxy S3 phone is too large to be used comfortably in one hand, and more recently we concluded that the 4in iPhone 5 was a better size.
We stand by that, but now the Note 2 has come along and opened our eyes to a third way; if we stop thinking of the Note as a huge smartphone, and more as a pocketable tablet that can make calls and send texts, we end up with a device that starts to make sense.
Forget about using it with one hand (even if the TouchWiz interface can be adjusted to help) and use both hands - better still, crack out the S-Pen stylus and use the Galaxy Note 2 as intended; this is a device that replaced both a conventional tablet and your smartphone.
Below that headline-grabbing screen is a central Home button, flanked by two capacitive touch-sensitive buttons for Back and to call up more options. A long press of the Home button opens up a list of apps currently multitasking, a double-press launches S-Voice (Samsung's answer to Siri on iOS) and finally a long press of the options button opens up Google Now.
Above the screen is the earpiece, proximity and ambient light sensors, a notification light, and a front-facing 1.9-megapixel camera.
There's a screen lock / power button on the right edge, volume rocker on the left (both of which are low enough to reach with one hand), a 3.5mm earphone jack up top and a micro USB port on the bottom for syncing and charging.
Next to that USB port is a slot housing the S-Pen stylus, while around the back Samsung has installed the same 8-megapixel camera with LED flash and 1080p video recording as is featuring on the Galaxy S3 smartphone.
Regular readers may be fed up of us complaining about the glossy plastic Samsung uses on all of its current products - and we're just as fed up of writing about it - but sadly the Note 2 is no exception.
We don't mind the glossy white - although we are fans of the matte white finish of the HTC One X - but the fake chrome edge is, as with the Galaxy S3, cheap.
If the chrome bezel was cold-to-the-touch and added a little weight to the device, then fine; but what Samsung has give the Note 2 is a piece of plastic that is reflective beyond belief, attracts fingerprints and - at least on our S3 - scratches and chips to reveal black plastic underneath.
It's a poor design choice and one which we hope Samsung will move away from sooner rather than later.
The rear cover of our Note 2 review unit moved and creaked a little when pushed near the volume rocker; not a deal-breaker, but not something we want from a £500+ device.
Elsewhere, it's obvious - and not necessarily a bad thing - that Samsung has borrowed much of the S3's design for the Note 2, both for its hardware and software.
Weighing 183g the Note 2 is around 50g heavier than the Galaxy S3 and a full 71g lighter than the slimmed down iPhone 5 - both of these phones are praised for their lightness, and considering its vast size, we're surprised the Note 2 doesn't weigh more.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2: Hardware and Connectivity

Being a £500 smartphone the Galaxy Note 2 has Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n with the ability to become a Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP for streaming music to wireless speakers, NFC for swapping contacts with a tap, 4G LTE (where available) and a microSD card slot.
There's 16, 32 or 64GB of storage as standard depending on how much you want to spend, and that SD slot under the rear cover (along with a microSIM slot) can increase storage by up to 64GB if you have a card that big.
As with the Galaxy S3, the Note 2 has a wide range of party tricks aimed to help make using it easier and more intuitive. Using the accelerometer, some menus can be navigated by tilting the device, and this works for zooming too, but we found it to be nothing more than a gimmick.
Along with that accelerometer, Samsung has crammed in (although we guess there's plenty of room) a compass, gyroscope, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor and, bizarrely, a barometer.
For syncing and charging the Note 2 uses a microUSB port located on the bottom edge of the device, and finally for audio there's a headphone jack at the top.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2: Operating System and Performance

The Galaxy Note 2 is, without doubt, one of the fastest and most powerful smartphones on the market today. Powered by a 1.6GHz quad core processor and 2GB of RAM the Note 2 is a very capable device and shrugged off just about anything we had to throw at it.
Intense 3D gaming, HD YouTube videos, live TV streaming, social networking, acting as a hotspot...the lot.
As is the case with the Galaxy S3, HTC One X, Apple iPhone 5 and others, the Note 2 responds to your commands just about instantly, and no matter what we did it was impossible to encourage any form of lag or slowdown of the Android operating system.
One annoyance was with the Home button. Because a double-press launches S-Voice (Samsung's answer to Siri) there is a small pause between a single press and the device reacting, while it waits to see if you press twice.
We're talking no more than a second here but it's just enough to be noticeable - especially when the rest of the system is so quick and responsive.
There is a similar delay when pressing either the Home or power button to wake the phone from sleep, but it's not the end of the world.
Being one of the first devices to come with Google's brand new Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box is a plus, but Samsung's TouchWiz UI skin changes so much, casual users will be hard-pressed to tell the difference between the Note 2's software and the Galaxy S3 - and the Note 10.1 tablet for that matter.
For us this isn't a problem, because we like TouchWiz and giving all of its devices the same user interface helps to unify the product line, and this ultimately keeps customers safe in the knowledge that no Samsung device is drastically different from the other.
Another small fault we came across was that the phone would sometimes fail to lock. A press of the lock button would turn the screen off, only for it to come back to life (unlocked) a couple of seconds later.
We wouldn't go as far as to call this a security flaw, because the phone comes back to life almost instantly and you would surely notice, but it's certainly a quirk Samsung needs to iron out.
The Note has a huge 3,100 mAh battery that saw our review unit last two full days of average use with the screen at around 50 percent brightness. Two hours of streaming video from the BBC iPlayer saw the battery drop less than 20 percent - it has the best battery life of any phone we've tested this year.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2: S-Pen

The S-Pen is of course what makes the Galaxy Note unique and Samsung has been busy improving the plastic stylus since it's first outing in the original Note last year.
Now longer, thicker and more comfortable to hold, the S-Pen feels more natural than ever and thanks to the 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity, using it to write and draw efficiently is easy.
Sliding the stylus out causing the Note to vibrate and (if it's unlocked) display a new Home screen with links to quickly create a note.
While the S-Pen can be used to navigate just about all of the TouchWiz user interface - only the capacitive buttons below the screen cannot be prodded with the stylus - there are very few apps that make full use of it.
S-Note is a very basic note-taking app, allowing you to adjust the thickness of virtual ink, the colour and the type of pen or pencil the stylus is acting as.
Writing on the Note's screen is much natural than you would first imagine, and the screen can tell the difference between the nib of the S-Pen and the side of your hand, so leaning on the phone to write won't cause unwanted scribbling - basically, the screen will only respond to the style when it is less than a couple of centimeters away.
That stylus is a lot smarter than it's humble plastic construction would have you believe; the Note 'knows' when the stylus is within around two centimeters of the screen, and a dot appears to help you work out where exactly the pen will touch the screen.
This hovering technology also helps you preview content without actually tapping it. For example, hovering over the subject line of an email in your inbox will cause a preview box to open, showing more of the email, without you having to open it.
Another use is when watching a video. Hover over the timeline and a preview box will open showing a frame from wherever you're pointing the stylus - it's a useful way of scanning for a certain part of a video while not disturbing what is being played.
Once we selected a fine virtual point for the stylus we found writing on the Note 2 to be much like writing with a pen and paper - of course the screen provides less feedback than paper but as a replacement to our trusty notebook, it's closer than ever.
As for handwriting recognition, the S-Pen and Note 2 do a good job and even our mainly illegible scrawls were understood and converted to text more often than not, although the time it takes to write and have it converted to text - which just a fes seconds - is long enough for us to type instead of write text messages and emails.
That said note-taking is a joy and the ability to quickly take a screenshot by clicking a button on the side of the S-Pen is a bonus - screenshots can then be drawn on and emailed or shared via social networks.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2: Display

The display measures 5.55 inches, has a resolution of 720 x 1280 and a pixel density of 267 per inch; along with the stylus, it's the Note 2's enormous screen that sets it apart from everything else on the market.
It's a Super AMOLED display and, as with the Galaxy S3, has a slightly cool, blue tinge. This isn't a deal-breaker for us, but it's worth remembering that the current crop of high-end Samsung devices make everything look a little cooler than it should.
Despite the slightly-off temperature balance, the screen of the Note 2 is excellent. It's clear, bright and very responsive to touch inputs, with a wide viewing angle and contrast is equally good.
HD content looks fantastic, naturally, and being AMOLED means that blacks are impressively dark.
While the screen quality cannot be disputed, the sheer size of it is definitely a love-or-hate affair. The extra size makes watching video, browsing the web and viewing photos better than any other smartphone, but typing and ideally navigating around the user interface - especially with one hand - is difficult.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2: Camera

Samsung has fitted the Note 2 with an 8-megapixel camera with autofocus, tap-to-focus, burst shooting, HD video recording and a whole range of other features and settings.
It's the same camera as found in the Galaxy S3 and that's good news to us - the S3's camera is one of the best we've tested this year.
You can shoot photos in HDR (high dynamic range) to capture scenes with high and low lighting in the same frame, burst mode - which shoots eight photos in around three seconds, then picks the best - and the usual range of monochrome and sepia effects.
White balance, metering and ISO can all be adjusted manually, or left to work things out automatically, and there's 13 different scenes to choose from, ranging from sports and portraits, to shooting by candlelight or capturing fireworks.
Although there's a minimum of 16GB of storage on tap depending on which S3 you buy, the resolution of photos taken can be lowered from 8-megapixels to six, 3.2, 2.4, 0.9 or just 0.3-megapixel if you so wish.
As for video, the Note 2 shoots in full 1080p HD, although that can be trimmed down to 720p or lower if you need to save space, while the white balance and exposure can be adjusted and photos can be taken while you shoot video.
The flash can be turned on to help illuminate the scene while recording and the phone usefully shows in megabytes how large the current recording is as you shoot, next to how much storage you have left on the phone.
The lack of a physical shutter button means that getting the perfect photo by tapping the on-screen icon can be difficult, compounded by the camera being located in the middle of the phone, rather than in an upper corner, and the touch buttons below the screen often get in the way - hitting Back and being ejected to the home screen while recording happened more times than we care to remember.

Verdict

This is where it gets difficult. The Note 2 is huge, there's no escaping that. But while the S3 is big for a phone, the Note does more - enough to class it as something entirely different? Possibly.
Samsung has created a device that is as love-or-hate as it gets; for some it's a phone that is far too large to be useful, yet not big enough to be a tablet; for others, it's a product that fits perfectly between a phone that isn't small enough to work on effectively, and a tablet that is too big to carry with you everywhere.
If you fall into the latter, then the Note 2 is perfect. It's fast, sleek, well built (plastic design aside), with the newest version of Android, a good camera and a stylus that is far from a gimmick.
But, if the Note isn't for you, then Samsung offers the smaller Galaxy S3 and - coming on 11 October - a 4in Galaxy 'Mini'. 
Sure it barely fits in your pocket and making calls in public feels like you're part of a comedy sketch, but forgive it for standing out and the Note 2 is wonderful; (just) small enough to fit in your pocket, but large enough to read, game and browse on.
It's a compromise between having a small phone and a large tablet. It may not be perfect all of the time (one-handed operation is all but impossible), but for most of the time it is ideal.
That isn't the outcome we were expecting. We thought it was ridiculous and we'd hate it, but give it a couple of days and you stop reaching for the iPad when you need a bigger screen because it's already there in your pocket.
As for getting used to such a large phone...our iPhone 4S felt like a toy and far too small after just a few days with the Note 2. It's amazing how quickly you get used to it, and nothing smaller will do.

Handy tips for Apple iPhone 4 Users: How to make your iPhone battery last longer


Recently, when standing in a field at Glastonbury, the idea came to us – was it really possible to make your iPhone battery last for several days? Well yes it is, as long as you completely strip down the power-sucking features and follow a few simple tips. Keep an eye on how long your iPhone typically lasts by going to Settings > General > Usage.
And, although this is not completely a power-saving tip, before you leave it's always best to make sure you have the latest software installed: Apple is always working on little fixes to improve your iPhone's power savings.
1. Keep it cool
Seriously. Don't put your phone in the sun. Don't leave it in a hot pocket. Battery life is lowered by heat and you should store your iPhone in temperatures less than 35 degrees centigrade – below 95F. As close to room temperature as possible is best for use.
2. Don't use power-sucking apps you don't need to 
Minimise your app use, especially if it's a game, stuff that sucks data (hello, Facebook) or uses GPS. Not only does some of the fun stuff suck power, it can also stop the auto-lock coming on.
3. Turn off 3G
So there we were, in our field, with little data coverage (thanks O2). So what did we do? Turn off data, that's what. If you haven't got it, there's no point in wasting juice looking for it. Settings > General > Network and slide Enable 3G to Off.
4. No to EQ
Who'd have thunk, but equalising your iPod playback can drain your battery pack. Settings > iPod > EQ is where to turn it off.
5. Don't fetch
Set the common apps to only fetch data when you want them to. Set Mail, Contacts and Calendars to only fetch data Manually. BE WARNED - if you have MobileMe, it's dangerous to set the auto-check to Manual, since the much-vaunted Find My iPhone won't work.
6. Don't make long calls
Or don't make any calls. Sounds like the stupid filler tip, but if you do make calls (and you probably do, as that's almost certainly what you're conserving battery for), just keep 'em short.
7. Lock it up
iPhone not in use? Make sure you lock the screen and set the auto-lock to a minute in case you leave it unlocked.
8. Don't use the GPS
Minimise use of it (such as in Maps or turn-by-turn sat-nav) and disable it: Settings > General > Location Services. If you're lost, ignore this advice.
9. Turn it off when you don't need it
Sleeping? With all your mates anyway? Then turn your phone off. Bit pointless if it's for 10 minutes, but if it's hours, it will add up.
10. Disable Wi-Fi
Nowhere near a wireless network? Go to Settings and slide Wi-Fi- to off. However, if you are going to be doing a fair amount of data browsing and you are near a wireless network, it will be better for your battery to use this than the thirsty cellular signal.
11. Turn off Bluetooth
Likewise, make sure Bluetooth is off. And keep it there unless you use accessories: Settings > General > Bluetooth and slide Bluetooth to Off.
12. Push off
Not many apps use push notifications, but in the future this will have more of an effect on your iPhone's battery life as more start to. Settings > Notifications and slide Notifications to Off – only visible if you have relevant apps installed. Apple says this won't stop the apps receiving data when the app is actually open though, so be careful, unless you've disabled data in other ways. Equally you need to turn off push mail (MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange). Go to Settings Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and slide Push to Off.
13. Turn it downRefrain from employing the speaker for music playback and turn down the volume - louder playback can make a difference, even with the headphones. Set the phone to silent on the side.
14. Dim your screen
Turn off auto-brightness and whack the brightness down as low as possible. Especially effective for many of us, as it's the supreme brightness that's one of the things that makes the iPhone screen look terrific, so it's usually very bright as a default.
15. Go airplane
If you've got very little coverage, you can't make calls anyway. If you're going to be in a coverage lowspot for a little while, turn on Airplane Mode. It makes a serious difference, since your handset won't be continuously searching for a network signal. This is one of the biggest drains of battery life on any handset.

Apple iPhone Repair: Some hidden codes used by professional Apple iPhone 4 Repair Experts. www.drmobiles.co.nz, 095515344


Here are some more secret iPhone codes for you to enjoy. After realizing that the *3001#12345#* was a familiar Nokia code, I decided to spend some time googling for other phone codes that might work on the iPhone. These (mostly) do. Feel free to add your own to the comments.
**WARNING***
The information is for reading fun and academic research purpsoe only.  Use it at your OWN RISK and do not blame the author of this blog should anything goes wrong with your iPhone!  So do be kindly advice.  These codes with tested in the USA but some works in New Zealand
*3001#12345#* and tap Call. Enter Field Mode.
Field mode reveals many of the inner settings of your iPhone, specifically up-to-date network and cell information.
*#06# Displays your IMEI. No need to tap Call.
IMEI is the unique identifier for your cell phone hardware. Together with your SIM information it identifies you to the provider network.
*777# and tap Call. Account balance for prepaid iPhone.
*225# and tap Call. Bill Balance. (Postpaid only)
*646# and tap Call. Check minutes. (Postpaid only)
These three are pretty self explanatory.
*#21# and tap Call. Setting interrogation for call forwards.
Discover the settings for your call forwarding. You'll see whether you have voice, data, fax, sms, sync, async, packet access, and pad access call forwarding enabled or disabled.
*#30# and tap Call. Calling line presentation check.
This displays whether you have enabled or disabled the presentation of the calling line, presumably the number of the party placing the call.
*#76# and tap Call. Check whether the connected line presentation is enabled or not.
State whether the connected line presentation is enabled or disabled. Presumably similar to the calling line presentation.
*#43# and tap Call. Determine if call waiting is enabled.
Displays call waiting status for voice, data, fax, sms, sync data, async data, packet access and pad access. Each item is either enabled or disabled.
*#61# and tap Call. Check the number for unanswered calls.
Show the number for voice call forwarding when a call is unanswered. Also show the options for data, fax, sms, sync, async, packet access and pad access.
*#62# and tap Call. Check the number for call forwarding if no service is available.
Just like the previous, except for no-service rather than no-answer situations.
*#67# and tap Call. Check the number for call forwarding when the iPhone is busy.
And again, but for when the iPhone is busy.
*#33# and tap Call. Check for call control bars.
Check all the usual suspects (voice, data, fax, sms, etc) to see whether barring is enabled or disabled for outgoing.
