I own a Note 2 since November 2012. It has been a great phablet until it started randomly freezing/rebooting. I thought it was due to it using a custom rom so i reverted back to stock firmware (4.1.2) with a full backup before and a full wipe of the phone.I didn't want to risk any of the old apps affecting it's functionality. The issue remained even after reverting to stock rom and was getting concerned it was due to a hardware problem.
Note 2 of a certain revision of the eMMC is affected by SDS or sudden death syndrome. There is no fix for this and the phone will die.It manifests itself after a 6-7 months period of good functionality. You might notice a random reboot now and then but just ignore them until it stars doing this 10-20 times a day or just freezing. Be really careful what Note 2 you buy and be advised to check the chipset.
You can find more information about this by just randomly searching for SDS and note 2 on your search engine.
I still think it is a great phone/tablet, and if the cost of repairing it wasn't so great (240 EUR) i would repair it (i lost my warranty when the screen broke (after a fall from a 1 meter height on cement)).
I can tell you nothing fixes the phone. Not the stock rom, not the 4.1.2 supposed fix, not the dummy file fill, not cyanogen, allianceRom, Slimbean ... you name it and i have tried it. At the time of writing it crashed at least 10 times today.
