Need advice. - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all I just bought a Brown note 2 I noticed that under the battery it says made by Samsung with no manufacturing country.
The second thing is that the s pen when inserted it doesnt fully enter the mobile a 1 mm difference from the bezel. Battery and charger made in vietnam.

It is Original for East countries. Where you bought it? The 1mm - normal.

The amber brown is exclusively made for a Japanese carrier NTT Docomo.
@OP: Look on the NTT Docomo website for info about the phone or have it looked at in a shop.

The 1mm space is normal by design, the space is so that it's easier to place your finger nails and pull the spen out.

You don't have the sticker on yours? Should be the right of the headphone jack. Do you have the T-Mobile version?
EDIT: Yikes that was a pain to get off with no nails, Thank you guys!

Oh man, no way. You got a sticker?? I'm so jealous.
Removed it as soon as I got the phone, though I'll admit that I probably would've kept it on for a lot longer if it was an Exynos sticker since it sounds so much cooler

Camera Showoff Thread (Post your photos/videos here!)

I got this idea from the sprint Note II forum and I wanted to see what you guys are taking pictures of .. I am quite impressed with the definition of the camera on this device and wanted to see if the T-mo version was any better / worse than sprint. so I'll go first. This is my Ruger 10/22 takedown .22LR . It's stock except a KiDD bolt buffer and UTG picatinny rail. It is sporting a Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 BDC 150 rimfire scope and a Ruger BX-25 25rd magazine.
Was shot with stock settings.

Quite a bit of noise in the picture for such close range. I'll have to learn how to adjust those settings and learn what all of them do . Not impressed at my own picture : /

if it's a replacement from Tmo then it's likely a refurbished.

Just download the Galaxy note 2 toolkit. Easy
Check the android development section, and someone posted the stock firmware and just flash it through Odin, and worked for me

I fixed my friend's samsung captivate with a jig when it got an improper flash. He thought he had a $200 paper weight.
