Originally created for Samsung Galaxy S3, the Light Manager works perfectly on Note 2 which shows that software-wise, both of these super phones are not so different. The Light Manager allows you to configure the color of your LED and its flashing frequency. It also allows you to configure notifications for those services which are not natively present in LED notifications’ settings such as notification for no signal, no Wi-Fi and so on. Here is the list of items it can configure:
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 sports a very premium finish and uses better plastics than the Galaxy S3 but there are some people (not me) that like to add some metal to their phone by using a metal battery cover. This immediately adds some more class to the design. These cases can be bought from amazon or ebay and cost somewhere between $8-$15.

If you hate screen protectors but still want to protect the screen, then Spigen has got you covered with its glas.t screen protector. Basically it is a screen protector made of glass. So, it adds a layer of protection and prevents it from getting scratched. The Spigen glas.t protector has a olegphobic coating on it, which makes it resistant to those fingerprints to a certain level. The Note’s S-pen works just fine with it.

Samsung has not released an official HDMI adapter for the Galaxy Note 10.1 but we have come to know that the one meant for the Galaxy Tab works just fine with it. The only thing not to like about it is the fact you need to have the charger plugged in for it to work.
Samsung promised that it will be releasing Jelly Bean, also known as, Android 4.1.1 for the Galaxy Note 10.1 (Galaxy Note 800) very soon and here it is, albeit unofficially. Folks at sammobile.com has made it as OTA-type download. To flash the OTA, just download it to your SD card; boot into Note 10.1 recovery ((hold down Power and Volume Up buttons together for about 15 seconds) and flash the firmware from there.
Update – See the note given at the bottom of this post.
Jelly bean will give you a quicker UI – Google claims Jelly bean’s UI runs at 60FPS; better web browser and myriad of internal improvements over the ICS Android 4.0.4. Keep in mind that the flashing will fail if you are rooted your Note 10.1 or have flashed a custom ROM. You must roll back to stock firmware and then download it to your external SD card before flashing.

I bought myself the official Galaxy S3 desktop dock (Samsung EDD-D200BEGSTA) and the good news is that it works just fine with my first generation Galaxy Note and the new Note 2. Immediately after putting it in the dock, ‘dock homescreen’ is activated. There are 5 shortcuts displays along with a huge clock.
