A couple of weeks ago an update arrived at everyone’s Samsung Galaxy Note ll phone. Unless you haven’t turned on your phone it should be:
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband: L900VPAMA7
Kernel Version: 3.0.31-903705
Build Number: JZO54K.L900VPAMA7
The first thing you will notice is that a series of Help windows pop up at various times helping the customer see and review new features.

For those of you who like using the Smart Stay feature you will notice that now the icon is Always present in the notification bar. Previously, the “Eye” wouldn’t pop up unless it was looking for a face. After the update the EYE is always on but ‘lights up’ when it don’t find your happy face. If you don’t wish to use this feature don’t forget to disable smart stay and smart rotation.
I’ve also heard on the grapevine that after the update only fonts of the ttf variety will work but I haven’t actually tried this out. I have to go looking for non ttf fonts to try this out. In any case, I’m pleased with the update.
