i love it. I use it all the times with YouTube while I'm browsing on chrome. All i need now is for them to add in netflix and I'm set.

There are hacks to allow any app to be used with Multi-Window.

all the time. but i'm running a multiwindow mod that enables all apps... and i dunno about FB Messenger but even with a stock rom, Google Maps, Text and Youtube are supported (except on Verizon iirc) so those would work right out of the box.

i dunno if it changed recently, but even with the mod, Netflix will pause playback if it's not the app that's currently in focus.
this.
Just tried it and yep, Netflix pauses when you do something in the other app.
Too bad i have a mac.
That sucks, i hope netflix or Samsung get in on it. I was pretty surprised Samsung included chrome and not make me use their browser.

I know someone came up with a workaround for that over at XDA.
nice! this is why i love the multi-windows feature.

This post popped up in my G+ feed and I thought I would share it.

The Galaxy Note II is quietly the best portable sketchpad ever made.

I am going to get mine tomorrow.
So, walk in, buy it at the Verizon store, walk out? That simple?
16gb is the only one out right now, correct?

too early for me and seems like it wouldn't be much of a upgrade.
Absolutely not. I´d think about HTC One if it were running 4.2.2, but that´s not the case.
Will wait to IO2013 to see if they unveil the X-Phone.
Not me. Will wait for superior Note 3
If the Note 3 is bigger than the Note 2, I'm out. Note 2 is the absolute largest i ever want my phone to be.
if anything, i'm sure they'll just make the screen bigger and keep the hardware same size or smaller like s3 to s4.
Is your name and avatar some sort of joke?
Nah, no S-Pen and smaller screen is a downgrade for me.
Yeah... can't believe it's gotten to that point but without those features, it'd be a downgrade for me too.
So the Note 3 flexible plastic display rumors are around again, and apparently it will allow the handset to be up to 50 g lighter and 1 mm thinner. I think this could be a big feature to me, I'm a very clumsy person, and this kind of screen would be a killer feature for me.
Just hoping the handset won't be enlarged too much, as the Note 2 is on the borders of being big enough for me (don't actually own one). Hopefully they reduce the bezel instead.

I swear that every fifth person who walks by on the streets of Beijing and Xi'an has a Note II in her hand. The other people have S3s, some flavor of iPhone, or some home grown brands like Huawei.

Accidently disabled my extra headphone page thing when I plug it in. How do I re-enable it?

Settings > Display > Page Buddy
There is a toggle on the Page Buddy row but that whole row can be selected for a further sub menu. (More of Samsung's weird UI design).

I tend to agree. Kinda difficult to go down in size once you're used to it.

Rarely on my Note 2 but I use it all the time on my Note 10.1 tablet.

it's to help stop the speaker audio from getting muffled when flat.

My browser (stock) has been crashing a lot while on GAF the past few days, this used to never happen before. I'm not sure what might be causing it, I haven't installed anything recently, I've restarted the phone a few times since, I only have one tab open but it still happening
Also the battery cover has developed a crackling sound when I hold it or push on it a certain way.

unfortunately not unless you root the phone.
Anybody want to point me to the right direction on how to root this phone?
