Would you mind to run the AnTutu benchmark on your Note2 to see how this powerfull processor develops? If you do it you have to do it 2 times, one time in A2 mode and another time without being activated, the performance changes a lot

Thanks, whatever you decide

Sorry, I've only the Note Pro.

I own this device, is it possible to split the screen vertically? PDF on top and notices on the bottom? it is my dream set I am using on the surface pro (Xodo PDF+Inkodo).
It is helpful while studying and learning by writing and scribbeling.

Hello everyone! I received my Note 2 today, updated the firmware to 2.2.2, but it says the device is not Play Protect Certified :/
Did I miss something in settings? If not, is Onyx going to do anything about that?

Upd: oh, I found this video which may help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QL7t...ature=youtu.be

I have a very basic question about Note 2:
How to open the last read book in the default reading app (Neo Reader?)
This reading app is not shown among the installed apps so I don't know how to invoke it by itself. I need to navigate to a book to do so.
But the shortcut to the last read book is not present anywhere.
So, it seems that I need to remember what was the book I was last reading, ant to navigate to that book each time I switch on Note 2.
This cannot be so? Can it?

So far I am using a workaround, but it is ridiculous:
I keep one book in the root location of Books folder, so that it is fast to navigate to it.
I navigate to it, open it with the default app (which is not shown among apps, so perhaps it is not an app) - and then I get the list of up to 4 last read books. So I can get to the actual book I was reading. Provided that I always use the same fake book to open the reading app, it does not push out the other three books from that list.

In the content browser there is the possibility to display the last read books (Poke Pro)

The context browser?
Not sure what it is. The browser wants to open a web page.
The problem is with Note 2. The original Note has the home button and the home screen. It shows: Now Reading, Recently Added.
Unfortunately nothing like that in Note 2.

I guess, a solution - to use a different app instead of the default one.
I don't need the default app for epubs. Just for pdfs. I tried several other apps and I like the default one more.

Content Browser!
In Library.
There you can see a clock!
Use it -and there you can see the last read books

I will have to check (Note 2 currently is out of my reach). But I saw that in Library you can sort books only By Creation Time, not By Last Opened time.

If you are on the other point.
If you are in clock, it is last opened.

Thank you.
I think your hint will work with Note 2.
I just downloaded the Note 2 manual.
Part 6. (page 18) is Library. It says nothing about the clock mode, or about the clock, or about sorting by last opened, but it has pictures of the library view, and there is a clock in every one of them!!! At top left.
No such clock in library of the original Note.
I just can't believe I missed it yesterday when I was searching for a solution. I never saw that clock. But it is in the manual.

Yes, it can be installed/opened.
But (at least from just having tested it in a very basic way) the lag is unbearable.

My experience was: > got excited to use OneNote on my new Note 2 > Install the app > Open the app > Try it > Cry > Change the speed to maximum speed/minimum resolution (X mode) > Cry harder > Never use the app again.
