Issues reported on the Note 2

1-2 second lag here too. All animations are off. S- Voice home button disabled but when it was enabled it was exactly the same, no difference.

My only real gripe that I can't stand is the cracking sound coming from the top area of the back cover.

We've already got an "issues" thread here:

As far as the stock browser showing websites incorrectly, what worked for me on my Infinity was click on "Request Desktop" and then refreshed the page. Now the page displays normally.

Other browsers that are out already display pages normally, so this part really isn't a big issue.

I think I solved my browser formating problem. While in the browser I chose 'Settings', then 'Accessibility'. I set the 'Scale text up and down' sliding scale to 104%. That did it.

When I first bought the phone I had set it to a higher % because my eyes are 67 years old. Thank the gods for the zoom feature.

Best of Luck

So I have an idea for a thread that I think would be pretty useful. If you've had an issue with the Galaxy Note II that you've solved, or even been unable to solve, post about it here, and I'll compile a list of solutions in this main thread.

Solved

Only keyboards are English, Spanish, and Korean
Problem: I would like a keyboard with *insert language here* but the only languages available out of the box are English, Spanish, and Korean.

Solution: The stock keyboard only has English, Spanish, and Korean downloaded, but you can actually go into Settings>Language and input>Samsung keyboard's cog and download additional languages for both standard input and handwriting. Quite a few languages are available, so if you speak another language besides English, Spanish, or Korean, check it out.

Somewhat solved

Folders in App Drawer won't sort correctly for Alphabetical grid
Problem: If you press the menu key while in the App Drawer, you can change the view type to "Customizable grid", "Alphabetical grid", and "Alphabetical list". Customizable grid and Alphabetical list both work fine, but Alphabetical grid has issues. If there are Apps inside of folders, they will not sort alphabetically, and if you delete an app, there will be a gap when that app used to be.

Partial solution: You can use AppZorter to rearrange your apps how you'd like them quickly, but there's a downside, in that you have to run it periodically, it won't just automatically keep your apps sorted.

AppZorter Lite

Unsolved

Change Notification Bar Power Widgets
Problem: By default, there are 5 shortcuts in the Notification Bar, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Sync, and Screen rotation. The only ones of those I'll ever use are Wi-Fi and Screen rotation. I'd like a way to be able to replace the other 3 with more useful shortcuts.

Standard vibrations for notifications are really long
Problem: I'd like the vibration that happens when I get a text, facebook popup, etc. to be shorter. You can change the vibration pattern for your ringtone in the settings, but that doesn't change the notifications vibration.

Stock browser loads websites incorrectly
Problem: Websites are not always the correct size when loaded on the stock browser, requiring them to be manually resized.

Anybody had the phone go into a random soft reset using multi-tasking window? It doesn't bother me, but wondering if it's a common issue that anybody else has experienced. It's the only time my phone has ever randomly rebooted.
