So I been trying for over a week now to get the update to my sprint note 2 with no luck. This morning around 4:30am I get a notification statingupdate available. So I proceed to download and Iinstall. Now there are 2 issues that are driving me insane.First my outlook express email will recieve emails but wont let me reply or send. I checked all settings and they are all correct. I can send and reply from my home pc. And I even deleted and reinstalled and it works for about an hour than back to nothing. Also it keeps recieveing emailz over a month old. From December and even older. I delete them all thn 20 minute's later poof all back again. I keep emptyi g the trash folder as well. My deleted folder had over 600 emails from today only.Second the damn tone everytime a type a letter.. its driving me nuts typing this. Ive went to settings and it is unchecked. What do I do?

Hello and welcome!

Those updates often start a headache or two for Note 2 and S3 users, we've noticed. One thing to get in the habit of doing is to wipe the cache partition and reboot an additional time or two before using the device at all following the completion of the update. First clean out caches in the various apps you use most.

The cache partition is in the recovery area, available by holding down at once the volume up + the home key + the power key (with the device shut down first, obviously ).

Once the "galaxy note 2" in white letters appears, quickly release all three buttons then use the volume key to navigate the little menu to "wipe cache." Then hit the power button briefly and wait for the procedure to complete (about 5 to 10 seconds).

After it's done the "reboot..." will be highlighted, hit power again and let the device boot up completely.

Thanks. I did what you suggested and it did solve the loading of the old emails. But it didnt correct the email account not sending anything.

But the biggest pain in the ass is the fact that I cannot get it to stop making the noise everytime im typing in web browser, email, or sms.......
