I cant see it yet here in philippines.
any1 got a apk :-D

Another thanks for the heads up - also not always checking.
Tis good!

Google really seems to me kicking a$$ This is like a huge upgrade over the older version and quite unexpected too! Microsoft really seems to be losing out to android in a big way....
The annoying bug in pinch and zoom is now fixed.....earlier it used to suddenly zoom out like crazy or zoom in abruptly....it never used to smoothly zoom in/out...!
Great job google!

Can't see it in Romania...

For those with root who can't find it, use Market Enabler to set a US provider. Should show up then.

Sorry, but what market fix do you have in mind ?
My problem is, in spite of having downloaded an update mid-December (and "About" reads "version 5.0, build 5014"), it still shows no sign of vectorized rendering.
So if there's some market fix to apply, I'll gladly do!
(For information, the Androïd Market upgraded itself at the sametime without any problem, and I have a International i9000, German firmware)

didnt notice that. Thanks

how do you know its not vector based

Well, the vector feeling just isn't there. It's still the same sequence when zooming: blurry zoomed bitmap, then grey grid, then tile by tile redrawing (downloading of bitmaps) at the new resolution. When using fingers for zooming (or shrinking), the zooming (shrinking) movement I initiate is carried through until it reaches the next zoom level.
Other reasons that make me think something is wrong with my 5.0 version:
According to the google help page about caching and offline reliability (www google com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1079238 - sorry no URL yet) I should have a "Cache Settings" menu item; all I find in the "More" submenu are "Labs", "Help", "Terms, Privacy & Notices", "About".
I never got anything from dragging down two fingers (which should "tilt" the map somehow)
Compass mode is not there either (first, tapping on the compass button to center the map on my current location, then tapping on it again to activate compass mode)
Funny thing is I've already had a google maps upgrade, and that was successful (what it changed, mainly, from the original version shipped with my device was that the "compass" button used to be a Lab feature, and was streamined in that version. I also think that the Google Places integration was much more comprehensive in that version).
Thanks for any help,

One annoying thing about JB on the GN..

Browser quick controls are useless in landscape mode. Trying to bring them up triggers Google Now everytime. Now I have to always use in portrait or use my left hand. Arrrrgh!

Can we get a comment section added here where people can just start new threads to make one comment and maybe let us know how they feel every day. For the rest of us, we can add posts to the correct already started threads in the general section.

I liked the old quick controls much better but one of my reasons for using them in ICS is that it reduced the lag that happened whenever the address bar would slide out. It doesn't lag in jellybean anymore so I have them off for now. I do kind of miss them though.

I agree, this is a problem!
Also I don't like how the new q controls behave. The old ones were much better.
I am thinking of switching to chrome but it is a little luggy compared to stock.
The rest of the OS is much smoother though.

I quite like the new quick controls with long-press but they're a little too sensitive, if I could wind down the sensitivity I'd be happy.
I hadn't noticed but yes, using the right ones in landscape is a bit more difficult but as long as you don't swipe at all you're good to go.

Works fine on the left side. What is the big deal?
butter and jelly please...

It is odd but as said above it works on the left n you can always rotate the phone if you want it on the right

Except the software buttons move to the right no matter which way you rotate. I guess I can get used to operating it from the left side I suppose.
I would use chrome, but at the moment it's not as smooth as the default browser. If only they would combine the smoothness and quick controls of the default browser with the rendering engine of Chrome we would have the perfect browser. Both compromise on different things right now which is strange.

Picked up my Note 2 today. Have some questions and concerns

I picked up my Note 2 today at a local sprint store. They were only given 5 and once I got mine they had 2 left. This was 20 minutes after they opened.
I have a couple questions and concerns reuarding the phone that im hoping someone can help me answer.
1. Is there a way to stop the volume from decreasing whenever i plug it into my car? The volume will always go down to half and its kind of annoying.
2. When using the keyboard to type messages, if i spell a word wrong and hit space it wont autocorrect it. Is this a feature Samsung left out? Im so used to it on my evo, i feel like i have to keep looking at what im writing to make sure i dont misspell something.
3. If im in the browser and zoom in on something it wont adjust to fit the page like the HTC EVO did. Is this also something samsung didnt include?
The main concern I have with the phone is the 3g data speeds. I am coming from the original Evo 4g and although Sprint isnt known to have the greatest speeds I never had a problem downloading an application. Today it took an hour to download myfitnesspal from the play store. I tested the speeds on speedtest.net and I was getting 33kbps down and 5kbps up. My girlfriend who also has an Original EVO 4g was getting 300kbps down and 170kbps up. Still not the greatest speed but alot better than what i was getting on the Note 2. Both phones were in the same spot and the same time. I did the test a number of times and always had the same outcome.
Thanks everyone. So far I am loving this phone and both the hardware and software are great!!

Word prediction will need to be enabled in your keyboard settings
Settings\language and input\
Also maybe try installing a different browser for your auto alignment issues

I think the zoom to fit is in the settings of the browser..its not on by default

Did you try to reset the data profile and do a PRL update?

There currently no autocorrection on the stock Samsung keyboard.
Hopefully it will get pushedto us in a future OTA

Download the Jelly Bean keyboard from the Google Play store...the best keyboard you will ever use...I have never used anything else after I downloaded it. But I believe the fitting text to the screen was an Apple patent (could be wrong) but I thought I heard that somewhere

That is due to one of the headphone options to limit the intensity of volume so it doesn't damage your ears. You'll find the option it in the sound settings, after you disable it in won't change your volume to half anymore.

i agree with the Jellybean Keyboard!!! It should have come with it seeing as IT IS JELLYBEAN!!! I use the voice input constantly form the keyboard when I am emailing and texting, so when this phone "hid" the mic button and you have to press 3 buttons to get to it, I wasnt happy.... So I downloaded the Jellybean Keyboard and its awesome!!!I was having a fit last night with the browser when everytime I scroll, it zooms in, thought I was gonna throw up... so I switched to Google Chrome Browser.

There is a similar setting in advanced settings. To get true reflow you will have to use a different browser. You can thank Apple for this.

I have a new Note 2, and I'm also new to Android, so I've been posting different things I encounter with the phone.
My experience with the keyboard is one of the things I posted, copied in here.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The default Samsung keyboard on the Galaxy Note 2 is a sleeper.
Samsung included Swiftkey Flow, which allows gesture-based typing, like Swype. The more I use it the more I like it, and it has auto-suggest and auto-correct.
The number row at the top is pretty great, too, the large screen allows it all to fit. The auto-suggestions appear above the number row.
Samsung also included the handwriting keyboard, for the S-Pen. The handwriting recognition works really well, and I'm coming up to speed with it.
The main points to remember about the keyboards are these:
- auto-suggest and auto-correct function in both tapping and handwriting modes.
- in tapping mode the transition between tapping and gesturing is seamless, but if you try to use both modes within a word a space is automatically inserted.
- in tapping mode auto-correct functions only while using gestures. If you're tapping and not gesturing you have to choose among the suggestions instead of relying on auto-correct. I'm learning the cases where it's important to me to have auto-correct do its thing, like when typing "I'm". If I type it in in tapping mode, it ends up as "Im" unless I choose the auto-suggestion with the apostrophe. It's better instead to use gesture mode for "I'm" as the auto-correct will do the right thing and use the apostrophe. As I mentioned, the transition from tapping to gesturing is seamless.
- quick-punctuation and quick-capitalization functions are missing
completely. People who don't use gestures and people who've never spent time with an IOS keyboard ( and many who have ) don't get this.
I am starting to really like this keyboard. My only real gripes are the lack of auto-correct in tapping mode and the lack of quick-capitalization and quick-punctuation, but they are mitigated by long-presses.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Someone else mentioned in the thread the Jelly Bean Keyboard, and it really is an excellent keyboard, I discovered it with my Galaxy S3 and initially installed it on the Note 2. But I'm not willing to give up the handwriting recognition, so back to the stock keyboard I went.
The stock keyboard doesn't do everything, but it has its good points.
Cheers,
-John

I also came from the Evo4G, and the auto adjust feature you speak of is a HTC Sense feature. I noticed this early on after using others phones and tablets. Although a small feature for those that have had it and lost it we all know how big of a thing it really is. Still don't know why Google hasn't implemented this within current builds of Android yet.

Can you explain what Apple has to do with it, references? AFAIK, HTML can be rendered any which way the (User Agent, that is) browser wants - that's the point of markup language.

Text/browser reflow after zooming(what the op is refering to on HTC phones...similar to word wrapping in excel lol) is patented by Apple. Samsung removed it from devices last year. HTC will eventually do so as well.
Its been all over the web for nearly 2 years...you are a smart guy you can find it
The only way to get it to work on samsung phones is to, after zooming in to the size that you want, you have to double tap the screen an additional time to enable text reflow.

Hmm, that'd contradict TechRadar.com's review [/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-note-2-1093688/review/5#articleContent]:You can have the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 reformat pages when you zoom in but it doesn't do this by default, which is slightly annoying.
In fact, you have to go into the advanced section of the settings menu to dig this little gem out, which we weren't overly impressed with having to do.
Lots of people won't be aware of this - and that could lead to a second rate experience for no reason at all.​

Jelly Bean Browser Zoom Too Sensitive

I've used just about every browser but have been pretty happy with the stock Android browser since ICS until now.
I've noticed since I've upgraded to JB official version via ota that just touching the screen and scrolling starts zooming. This doesn't always happen and is hard to intentionally replicate because it seems to happen more on some sites than others but it is becoming increasingly annoying.
I like just beinc able to double tap to zoom but now it seems to zoom at random with just one press.
The other small improvements to the factory browser are pretty nice but I'm not sure what's going on here.
I Googled this issue and even tried to look up specific JB changes pertaining to the stock Android browser but haven't seen anything about single touch zoom or rather random zoom.
Any thoughts (besides just download xyz browser)?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Your touching the left or right side of the screen, slide up is zoom in, slide down is zoom out....was trippin me out to until I figured out where to touch. Allows for one finger zoom and works in dolphin as well, prolly other browsers but haven't tested any yet.

Does anyone know how to disable this? I HATE IT!

^ this..

Bump. I hate this as well. It's redundant when we already have a gesture for zooming: pinching. And we can't afford to waste any more screen real estate on our phones.

Ditto
hope there's an option soon to disable. hate going to stock email app, opening an email, wanting to scroll through fast to read but instead zoom that thing large enough for my great grandmother to read. And it always seems easier for me to zoom in rather than zoom out. hahaha

Too annoying!
Hard to believe there is no option to disable this obnoxious annoyance. I'm fairly new to Android but if this was my old winmo I'd scour the registry and surely locate an entry to tweak.
Is there somewhere similar on the Android filesystem or through the terminal I could begin to look for a tweak?

What I am finding is the Android environment is pretty much all hard-coded. So unless the developer have you a setting where you could flip a switch, you're stuck with it, or you are downloading customs from here.
I actually like the slide zoom feature although as others have stated, at first I thought there was a bug that was causing it to zoom on its own. l suspect, like you I am used to using the slider in Windows at the right edge to scroll down the page of email.
Anyway, I have since gotten used to it and now am not going to perform the update to MA6/MB1 because I depend on it for one handed email.
What is most frustrating is to know they know it is a hard-coded environment and they could have just as easily added a switch to disable the feature (which by the way is undocumented - and Samsung chat support will tell you doesn't exist) rather than to simply disable. it.

Ah, so they did disable it. I was going nuts trying to figure out why it no longer worked. I was actually starting to like it too- it was pretty handy for one-handed browsing. They should've just kept it as a settings option.

Swype with Google Voice....

Hi
Anyone know how to tell Swype Beta to use google voice instead of the fire "Dragon Dictate" as Jellybean has offline voice typing and is far superior.
Just a shame the stock samsung keyboard with its swipe isnt as good.
Anyway, so far only way Ive found by leaving swype as default is to pull down notification bar when Im about to do voice typing and just select google voice from the input method.
I would just prefer to press the mic button though...
Thanks

Swype is not open source correct?
If not, could one develop an app that overlaps the voice button on Swype provides that launches Google Voice instead?

If one likes Swype but HATES the terrible predictive speech recognition of Dragon Go, yes it does matter.
That being said, I guess we can't do it, so thanks to the poster who brought Kii to our attention; it'll do, though it's not as fluid as Swype for keyboard swyping.

Temporary Solution
Sorry that I'm a little late getting in on this thread, but I have a temp solve.
(Disclaimer ... for anyone interested: I, too, use Swype, religiously, because it is way faster than any other gesturing keyboard in Android - I type a lot of text, using a Note 2, and Swype is constantly helping me break all my speed records. Dragon, however, is a pain, for one, because it is not as stable as Google Voice, often giving me grief when connectivity is sporadic; but also because the software is slightly more bloated than Google Voice, causing the annoying "fade in" graphical interface which drags down on its listening response time. This lag is noticeable when you are "Swyping" at 80 words a minute when transitioning to speaking texts suddenly takes 4 times as long as "Swyping.")
Sooooo...​
A temporary solution (despite the extra key presses) is to...
1) Long press on the text window
2) Select "Full Editor" from the pop up menu
3) Tap the "Google Mic" icon​
And that's pretty much it. It is, unfortunately, an annoying solution, but for me, it's working faster than Dragon on the average. Hope that helps someone, particularly JoeyDVDZ

Joey,
Appreciate it, but I don't believe that this will work on many devices. I think it is dependent on what program you use for SMS/MMS as well....

Art. itheyxc
Try this:

Just pull the notification bar down when you have swype up, and choose google voice typing.

This was bugging me too - but then I actually tried google voice typing...not so great so far, but i'll keep trying

this trick doesn't work for me... maybe it is not for CM10?

Not having Google Voice with Swype finally bothered me enough that I have been working on such a thing! I have a proof-of-concept working fairly well on my phone (Nexus 4), and now I'd like to find someone with a rooted S3 willing to try it out there. It requires root to be able to inject keystrokes into an app. If you have a rooted S3, please shoot me a message at [email protected], and I'll discuss it with you some more.
(I've posted a similar message in the S4 section. Since these are two of the most popular devices, I'd like to see if, and how well, it works on them before pursuing it further.)

Not having Google Voice with Swype finally bothered me enough that I have been working on such a thing! I have a proof-of-concept working fairly well on my phone (Nexus 4), and now I'd like to find someone with a rooted S3 willing to try it out there. It requires root to be able to inject keystrokes into an app. If you have a rooted S3, please shoot me a message at [email protected], and I'll discuss it with you some more.

This used to be a worry of mine, until Google was nice enough to release their own keyboard!!

Yes, it's built in to my Nexus 4, but it's not as good as Swype at getting the word I want. I've tried them all, and I always end up coming back to Swype. Google's voice typing is better than Dragon Dictate, though, so this is the best of both.

There is a way

hi
anyone know how to tell swype beta to use google voice instead of the fire "dragon dictate" as jellybean has offline voice typing and is far superior.
Just a shame the stock samsung keyboard with its swipe isnt as good.
Anyway, so far only way ive found by leaving swype as default is to pull down notification bar when im about to do voice typing and just select google voice from the input method.
I would just prefer to press the mic button though...
Thanks

there is way but you must be rooted and have xposed installer installed, there will be this app called googleofflinevoice. Download it and restart then just double click on the dragon go icon and google voice will appear. Have fun!
