Use my Note 2 to watch Netflix on TV via Allshare Cast. Question is - can this be set to download the movies via my phone service (unlimited, 20mb) rather than my house Wifi which is dsl at 2.5? I thought it was, but data doesn't look like it's increasing fast enough, and there have been stops.

Here's an issue I have to believe others have encountered. If using the Samsung Note II protective cover (not the flip), the flash's function is impaired. The flash catches the closest bit of the thicker cover, and reflects light into the photograph, making it useless. Same photo taken...

I'm in email, ask to add an attachment, select Gallery for source, screen then shows Gallery icon on upper left, but folders never load (nothing does beyond icon for Gallery and it's accompanying cancel tab on upper right. Going to gallery first, selecting image, can email fine. As Gallery...

I'm sure I know WHY it's slow to open... Gmail synced all the pictures I had on picasca to the phone. Thus I have a huck o'pics on the camera. My solution would be to delete those folders (at least the bulk of them) without taking them from picasca/gmail. Any ideas?

What's the forum input on map apps for Europe? Ideal app would be Google maps that worked in Europe. (And frankly, Google maps MAY work fine in Europe, though can find no assurance that it does.

Note 2 has NFS, right? Then why can't Google Wallet be used?

Just installed Allshare Cast, was quick, easy - except.... no sound. Images from gallery, apps, videos all play, but there is no sound. Tried noddling around but cannot find the trigger. Any ideas...? Oh, phone volume IS on, as is TV's (both sound normally when not using AllShare.)

After moving contacts over (mainly via Google sync at purchase), I find that my contact list is based on 3 list, Google, Hotmail, and Microsoft exchange. I suspect these are stored in different areas - any way to sync the list to one, store it one place?

I'm happy with the battery life - I get an honest 24-26 hours before 15% - this while using the phone a fair amount as I try to learn it's intricacies (1.5g in five days - with no video, music downloads, though dropbox did use about a third of that). But, great shelf battery life aside, is...

Samsung gives a stern warning about not letting battery drain too low before charging, but of course that can happen - maybe one sleeps? Is there an app that will shut the phone off after hitting a predetermined spot, say 15% of battery?

Seems as though the Samsung flip case is not highly regarded, a quick why? And, anyone know of a flip style case (for screen protection) coupled with a hole for camera so folding it over doesn't cover camera . (Yes, will leave a bit of the screen exposed, but life has trade offs

getting a note 2 form t-mobile, they will unlock it in 3 months, any downside to that? thanks
