i think kies is not sluggish its because u are rooted , and its not identifying the phone ...............but its my assumption, please confirm before any action
also..........do u have any performance issue after rooting???
i may want to root my note 2, and what are the downside on a phone like note 1 and 2 regarding rooting???
never ever i will use this stupid kies , i had an old version of kies but updated to recent version
i can connect my phone , i can see the files but i go to firmware upgrade everything goes blank . rebooted , re installed nothing helped .
i know its not because of rooting , am just wondering why the OTA update failed twice .
after rooting , i didnt see any difference in performance , i didnt install any custom rom
just rooted to use titanium backup , other than that i dont see any difference in using
samsung rom
you just got ur note2 , use it for 3-5 months before rooting i would suggest
