I have the ATT version of the Note 2 and love it by I have lots of questions.

I bought a spare Anker battery and it doesn't seem to have the life of the original battery.

Amazon has a plug in the wall battery charger. Are they any good?

I often have trouble trying to highlight text. I usually get one marker instead of 2, is there a technigue for that?

I was included in a SMS Conversation with my sister's family. They have Verizon IPhones. I couldn't replay all like they did. Not sure if it worked with my kids' ATT Blackberry and Iphone either.

Does anyone use MS Office 360 and if so, do you get all the functions of MS Office Suite, including Excel, Word and all of Outlook (and I mean all of Outlook). I looked at K9 desn't really do it for me.

How do you shut off ATT Wifi?

If I put in a new SD card does it have to be formatted?

How do you move files from device to the SD card? Which files can be moved or cannot be moved?

Is there any way to print or save to a file SMS or MMS text messages? Can they be printed?

If the battery is not working as advertised, I would return or exchange it.

I think as long as the charger is 2Amp you will be fine.

On my N2 it usually takes me 2 or 3 times to get the 2 highlight indicators.

The stock message app does not work with Group chat you would need to download either Handcent or GoSMS pro.

How do you shut off ATT Wifi?
Settings>Wi-Fi>Advanced>uncheck "Auto Connect"
If I put in a new SD card does it have to be formatted?
I believe most SD cards should already be formatted.
How do you move files from device to the SD card? Which files can be moved or cannot be moved?
Android has moved away from Apps on the SD card so you are able to store Pictures, music and movies on the SD.
Is there any way to print or save to a file SMS or MMS text messages? Can they be printed?Don't ever back up/save any texts but this one looks good. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mNvbS5yaXRlc2hzYWh1LlNNU0JhY2t1cFJlc3RvcmUiXQ

This works great(2amp). And if you don't have *cough* apple stuff *cough* you can throw away the extra cable. :D

I guess so

My BB wall charger took forever but that's supposed to be a good thing, right, better than the car chargers that ruin the batteries, I think. Someone mentioned the speed down the thread.

On my N2 it usually takes me 2 or 3 times to get the 2 highlight indicators.

Sometimes it never works and especially when not in email reply mode. So I can never grab something from an email without doing a reply and getting it there.

Thanks will check it out

Did that and even turned off Network Notificaltion and still get ATT and xfinity wifi. Do I have to reboot?

If I put in a new SD card does it have to be formatted?
I believe most SD cards should already be formatted.
Thought so

How do you move files from device to the SD card? Which files can be moved or cannot be moved?
Android has moved away from Apps on the SD card so you are able to store Pictures, music and movies on the SD.
Ok but how do you move them and disignate files to go to the SD card

Trying PrintShare but my Canon D1150 doesn't work with it. They only work with IPhones


I'll try and help out as much as I can.

Samsung needs to go a litter farther to get the business users. The Note 2 is wonderful but the software for email and texting and contacks stinks.
