Rexphobia:

I still don't know o, the ish happened on 19th of Nov, 2013.

I will keep you posted though.



I bought the phone less than two months after it was released. You should know the kind of reviews you will get at such time. Some issues are triggered based on wear and tear.

As per the update, you may want to know that I am currently on the latest version available in Nigeria (4.1.2) for Note II. The most current update is 4.2 and it's not available for Nigeria yet, last time I checked.

henryskywalker2003:

Dude, you're so wrong. 4.2.2 has been available for Nigeria ever since August. At least that was when I noticed the update prompt on my sister's Note 2.

nurexfutmx: @badeneat, please where can I download the modern combat 4? Is it a combat game like mortal combat, street fighter, tekken and so on...

ab3458: My note2 suffered sudden death too. But the good news is that it still under warranty. So I'm picking it up on Friday 6 Dec 2013

Rexphobia: I was one of the few that patiently waited for Nexus 4 to be released and when it was eventually launched the phone sold out in less than 2 hours. I was infuriated. I waited for months just to lay my hands on the phone. Three excruciating months I had to banish the thoughts of owning just any phone.
Just when I felt it was high time I stopped crying over spilt milk, then it happened. Samsung Note II was released. I browsed the web for hours in search of where I could get the phone in Nigeria, with adrenaline pushing through my veins. I quickly ordered the phone from the first site I stumbled on.
Fast forward to 11 months after, I hate this phone. I wish I bought maybe a Tecno or some other random phone. In fact, I regret buying this phone.
How did this story change so quickly?
Like two months after purchase, I noticed my 32G micro SD card started encountering issues. Error message was “memory card was removed”, mounting and unmounting intermittently. Till the memory card stopped working. I checked online and discovered I was not alone. My precious memory card has been fried by my NOTE II and memorable contents all lost. It felt like I was bereaved.
After some weeks of mourning and I decided not to get a replacement. I felt that was the worst; I was so wrong.
My phone now has what is referred to as Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS). This simply means the motherboard of the phone has a damaged chip. Signs are,
• Insane chip when you check with eMMC app available on Google play store
• Freezing
• Rebooting
• Emotional torture- Yes, the torture inflicted by the phone is unbearable.
How can it be resolved? Replacing the motherboard. You can also hazard the cost implication of that.

Synopsis: As soon as BBM became available on other platforms. I installed it on my Note, synched my contacts, threw my Blackberry away and started dissing Blackberry users. “Y’all are using a dead phone”, I said. Well, after the demise of my Note II, I had to swallow my pride and return to my first love, My Blackberry. Yes, it is not a smart phone, but it WORKS.


***End***

donlyone: My advice to the OP is that next time you're buying a phone whether Nokia, Tecno or Vertu, try to check online forums for users review or opinions.

The sds is prevented by simply updating to the latest firmware. Also, it would have been fixed for free at a Samsung customer center if you were on warranty.

RIP to your Note2, thats a great phone.

Its the best phone you never got to enjoy.
