Ever since it launched last October, the Galaxy Note II smartphone has been a popular bestseller in the mobile marketplace. The handset delivers one of the largest screens to ever grace a mobile phone, and provides a smart stylus with native handwriting recognition technology. The phone also delivers the Android Jelly Bean operating system out-of-the-box, and the ability to split that large display into two independent screens. And a new free application found in the Google Play Store uncovers some powerful features which were previously hidden.

However, to totally unveil these special features, you must have a stock or rooted Galaxy Note II smartphone. If that is the case, you can then access some pretty cool features which usually require some pretty intense technological know-how. The application is called, plainly enough, Note 2 Hidden Settings, and it reveals settings that usually lay hidden and dormant in the Galaxy Note II system. And this new application allows access without having to manually edit any system files.
After you have root control on your Galaxy Note II, then just download the free application from the Google Play Store and run it. You will find a toggle-driven list of applications and features such as gallery rotation control, camera shutter sounds and scheduled messaging options. You can also change browser, dialer, and keyboard settings, as well as system and camera preferences.
The True HD Galaxy Note II was recently spotted on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE system in the United States for $99 on contract at the Amazon Wireless store. Despite its huge display, the handset is slim, measuring just 0.37 inches (9.3 mm) in thickness. The mammoth display runs 5.55 inches, and is aligned in a 16 to 9 aspect ratio. A second generation layer of Corning Gorilla Glass offers scratch and chip resistance, and resolution runs 720 by 1,280 pixels on the Super AMOLED screen.
The extended life 3,100 mA cell powering the phone delivers a full 15.0 hours of talk time, and a Samsung Exynos 4 system chip is on board. The CPU is a quad core 1.6 GHz ARM Cortex A9 model, a quad core Mali 400 graphics processor is also on board, as is 2.0 GB of RAM system memory. The Galaxy Note II phablet provides a microSD slot for storage expansion, as well as 16 GB of storage space. The rear facing 8.0 megapixel camcorder offers video capture at 1,080P HD resolution, and a Stereo FM radio with RDS display is also present.
