Can I download the very latest version of Android onto a new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 10.1 tablet?

Q. I'm looking to buy a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 10.1 tablet within the next week or so. On the website I'm intending to purchase it from, it states that the tablet has Android version 4.0. However, I've noticed that a later (and, crucially, better) version - 4.2.1 I think - has now come out.

Will I simply be prompted to download this onto the tablet for free once it's up and running?

A. Hey, You can upgrade your tablet to latest version of Android if it's available through Samsung Kies. Download Kies on your computer and check to see if the upgrade is available. If it is, there you go.

Is the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 an excellent Christmas Gift to ask for?

Q. Will it fit in my jeans' pocket? Or do I have to carry it with my hands everywhere I go if I don't bring a bag with me?

A. It will fit in your jeans back pocket. It could be in the front pocket but it will stick out and become uncomfortable when you sit down. In your back pocket it will also stick out a bit, but it won't fall out of anything.

How to change the download location from phone memory to external memory in samsung galaxy note 2 ?

Q. I have Samsung Galaxy Note II mobile phone and whenever I am trying to download anything from Play Store through my device the application by default get installed in my phone memory, so please help me out by telling me how to change the memory card setting, so that my application get installed in my external memory card instead of phone memory card.

A. I also have the Galaxy Note 2. I hate to tell you this but what you are asking can NOT be done. The phone is intentially set up to ONLY install Apps on the phone's internal storage and not the MicroSD card. Why?? Perhaps for security reasons...to prevent people from pulling out their card MicroSD card and putting it into other phones and running the apps.

The only options you have regarding your MicroSD card is to either Format or Unmount the card. It's up to each individual app to really use the MicroSD card. Furthermore, you are limited to just storing media files (videos, music, photos, ring tones, wallpaper). However, the camera app will store to the card if it's there.

However, I must tell you that I discovered a flaw with the Note 2 regarding the microSD card. Samsung choose to call the phone's internal storage SDCard and use ExtSDCard to name the card you install. As a result, some apps like Dolphin Browser and Firefox mistakenly think SDCard is the external card you installed and won't point or use the MicroSD card at all. So your Download location is stuck with your phone's internal storage. A slight oversight on both Samsung and the App Developers.

How long should the Samsung galaxy note 2 take to charge?

Q. Idk if im being paranoid but it seems like my note 2 is taking longer to charge. From 15% it took around 3 hours to get to 96%. Is that norma or is my phone taking too longnto to charge? .

A. I also have a Galaxy Note 2... and the time it takes depends....

Are you plugging in your phone directly into a wall outlet or into the USB Port on your computer. From my experience, it's quicker if you use the wall outlet.

Another important factor is this... Is your phone turned on or off during the charge. You do realize that if it's turned on.. the charge will take 2-3 times longer because the phone is currently active and in use. One trick you can try is to put your phone into Airplane Mode if you need a faster charge. That will turn off all internal radios. Another trick you can try would be to go into your Notification Screen (swipe down from any home screen)... and select Power Saving Mode. ..that will reduce power consumption and allow your phone to charge faster.

Also, I noticed the Note 2 is very power hungry (when I first got my phone). I went into the settings and made some adjustments... mostly with the S Pen... now my phone usually lasts 2.5 days between charges.

So, no worry, go ahead buy a simcard there when you are in China.

Original Question

When is galaxy note 2 coming out and how much will the price of samsung galaxy s3 be reduced?

Q. I would also like to know if its worth buying the s3 now or shall I wait for galaxy note 2 to come out?
Thanks

A. The rumors for the Galaxy Note 2 coming out is around the end of October beginning of November in the US. The Galaxy S3 price should drop a bit but not too sure if it will. The price for the Note 2 should be around 200 to 300 dollars under a 2 year contract. There hasn't been an official pricing yet. There was a rumor that At&t would be coming out with the Note 2 October 21st.

Me personally I would wait for the Note 2. It's faster, bigger, and has more bells and whistles. I would look it up on YouTube if you don't know too much about it.

How to log out of facebook from Galaxy Note 2?

Q. I used google chrome in my Galaxy Note 2 to log in to facebook but now I can't sign out. Pressing the menu button just brings out the menu for chrome. How do I log out?

A. There are two possible locations that I know of, however I do not have Chrome so this might not help.

If it looks like the desktop site, then try in the upper right of the page. There is a gear looking icon click on that and a drop down menu will appear. Click log out.

Or if you are on the mobile version (m.Facebook.com), on the very bottom of the page you can click log out

I hope this helps.
