The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 exposing faults and finding fixes uses.

**** or broken screen
Problem: There are quite a few user reports of the screen being scratched or **** after accidental drops. The Galaxy Note 2 has a truly mammoth 5.5-inch display, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 2, which is generally tough stuff. The device has performed well in most of the drop tests we?ve seen, but they aren?t hugely scientific. The size could make the display more prone to cracking on impact, or it could be the fact that the Note 2 is a little more difficult to handle than a smaller device.
If you?re worried, then it?s probably a good idea to have phone insurance or invest in one of the many Galaxy Note 2 cases on the market.
Can?t turn Wi-Fi off
Problem: Have you been turning Wi-Fi off only for it to turn itself back on again? This is a common issue for Sprint customers and it?s because of the Connections Optimizer.
Solution: You can find the Connections Optimizer by hitting Menu > Settings > More Settings > Mobile Networks and then disable it. You might find that the Connections Optimizer continues to turn itself back on again after you reboot the device.
Workaround: You can tell your Note 2 to forget Wi-Fi networks. If you go to Settings > Wi-Fi you can see available networks and forget them, but you won?t be able to use Wi-Fi until you add one again so it?s far from an ideal fix.
Phone won?t charge
Problem: You?re plugging your Note 2 in via the AC adapter or a USB PC port and you find that it isn?t charging.
Device takes too long to charge
Problem: Instead of charging in two or three hours as it should, some people have found that the Note 2 is taking much longer to charge.
Sound while charging
Problem: A lot of people have complained about a buzzing or hissing sound while the Note 2 is charging. Apparently this is due to the charger and it?s normal. It is possibly more noticeable with the Note 2 because it is sucking down a lot of juice.
