My note 2 sent some garbled message which I didn't know. - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This happened in January, as you can see on the attached picture, back then I'm not worried but after reading the malware BadNews. I got worried that this maybe a malware trying to text info from my phone to the developer. Any idea what is this?

I did not get this, but if I were you, I'd hit trash can in upper right immediately? Just me!

Looks more like you're messages app was open with the screen on and you accidentally typed it out and sent it. I mean if you google the characters there really isnt any mention of such an event replicated elsewhere.
Edit : Also if you look closely you will notice that most of the characters are from the left side of the keyboard.

That was my 1st thought, but the word equimen which means equipment can't be random keyboard tap. And also Zambia.

And seeing as you have crossed out the details of the recipient, my guess is that the text was sent to someone you know, not the developer. I give more weight to the accidental typing.

I have been wanting it since I had Droid Charge, and I could install TW4.5 ( which is a moved version of TW4) and it does rotate home screen, but its very buggy also breaks Motion sensing in ET4G.

Go purchase Launcher Pro Plus from the Market. Your screen will Rotate, Bounce, Flip or whatever you want it to do.
Obviously, in the future make sure to post in the appropriate sub-forum.

[Q] Carrier Name failure

The Carrier Name on my friends Galaxy Nexus is showing additionally to the real name this string '@@@' (see image below). It is running ICS 4.0.2
Does anybody know where this could possibly come from?

Sigh... this was mentioned at least once before. It's most likely a malware app.

I'll see if I can find the thread. If not, check the apps. See what third party apps have been downloaded and then we can give more insight to what it might be.

Finally found it. Phew. I don't see an answer though. I'm assuming it was a third party application.

I had this as well but it seemed to go away on its own after an hour or so? Only happened once though....
Something similar happened once where ROGERS became @OGERS on the phone. It cleared after I rebooted.
No malware
Stock unlocked/unrooted 4.0.1 yakjuux
I sent the screenshot I took to Google, but as expected, they didnt care
A simple reboot was not enough.
He had to remove the battery as well. This fixed it and the characters did not reappear since than.

Camera on Galaxy note 2

Idk if I have a faulty camera or not but it seems like the photos I take on the phone seem very blurry. Is it just me, or is the screen just to big which is making the pictures look a little pixelated?

Man, I noticed and have been thinking the same thing. My pictures turn out really grainy. I try to hold it perfectly still but more than half my pictures turn out looking like crap. I've tried messing with the settings but I've got nothing...
Are you holding it still until the picture is clear on your screen ?
This happens to me but only when I do not hold it still.

Tried it...but I like the touchwiz lock screen and it interferes with it. Phone flashes briefly like normal then quickly turns off...then active notifications activates.

Yeah I know what you mean! It's for those that want those type of features is all!! It's kinda like some like pop up SMS. And Which I dislike. That's all!!
But it's still actually a cool app!, not sure how it'll be on battery life..

Well, I presume using the AOSP lockscreen you won't have that issue. But I enjoy the touch wiz one. It should be fine (battery life) as long as its an amoled screen. Wouldn't recommend on an LCD/IPS screen.

Keyboard

Looking for a keyboard with a dedicated 5th row for numbers. Samsungs lack of autocorrection ruins it for me. I tend to type very quickly and rely of autocorrection to pick up my simple mistakes. Any suggestions?

I tried downloading the 123 onyx and Lookout immediately freaked out flagging it as riskware, are these clean?
Maybe sign up for SwiftKey beta. Interestingly the paid version doesn't have the numbers on top.

Awesome! Perfect solution. How did you get the top qwerty row to have the symbols though instead of long press numbers? Also i seem to have lost my autocorrection.

Symbols were already there. If you lose auto correct usually it means your beta version has expired and you need to update to the latest beta to get it back.
