Wifi signal dropped

Got my note last week and right off the bat I noticed my wifi signal kept getting dropped (as in auto turned itself off). At first I thought it was just a freak accident, but after having to repeatedly turn on wifi I realized something was wrong; I re-setup my wifi connection settings a couple of times, did the OTA update avail to my unit (unlocked, unbranded version) and even did factory reset twice but to no avail. I guess I should say factory reset seemed to fix it the first time, but the problem came back after close to an hour of testing. Thankfully I just bought it so I returned it to the seller who claimed after testing for 2 hrs my problem never flared up, but still decided to send me a replace thank God! I hope this isn't the case with the new handset I will be receiving in a few days, but I wonder if anyone has had this?

btw the wifi connection was setup to a secured network so it wasn't about being booted off for too many devices to my router

I have problem with Android OS eating CPU when Wi-Fi enabled. Disabling it helps. This is a software issue, I had the same with my SGS2 once a while.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TML1504:
until the screen everything is near perfect! with the screen i have the same issue as with my first galaxy S2: one side of the screen has a tint and is considerably darker at low brightness levels. (S2: left side, yellow tint; Note: right side, blue tint)

I used to have "sleep of death" issue but not anymore since I flashed the latest KL3 firmware.

Seems i may have some problems with call clarity, but i don't really care as i only use it for that in emergencies. Also this may change with the addition of a blutooth headset or if i get some more practice calling people/being called on it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SAlmighty:
I bet most of you have units with the horizontal lines appearing. You just gotta look closely at low brightness, lol. These statistics don't look appealing to me; I've seen over 10 Notes all over India and all have identical issues. No difference, lol. Go Figure. :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zkyevolved:
its possible that all India units had a bad production line. And if you REALLY need to look that closely, why would you care if it's not noticeable? This is always true with cars, your body (as no one is completely symmetrical), or anything hand made. this is no different, but if you can't notice it yourself, and you use it happily, then why bother yourself FINDING AND LOOKING for issues?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
If you have to look closely then thats not a real issue, but yeah even upon closer inspection the screen should not have any of those since the lower end SAMOLED devices dont have it.

On my end the main issue I have is the lines as well but you dont need to look for it, at any brightness level its visible even at 100% but its been approved for a screen replacement anyway.

A small issue is on the ear piece but I've gotten used to this on samsung devices since the galaxy S1, the volume on the ear piece is

EXTREMELY

low.. my older and cheaper phones have about 3x more volume and about TWICE the clarity.

Touch screen sensitivity is rather poor compared to the Galaxy S1 ( pre 2.2 update ) it has the same sensitivity level as an untweaked Galaxy S2.

Gamma levels need to be worked out, the HD screen is moot.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ade5:
No issues yes.. Owned it for two days only..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
If you included the pink spot on the poll that would probably be the most selected issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] berwhale:
I had a similar issue, however I tracked the problem down to my setup. A couple of weeks after acquiring the Note, the wi-fi started to turn itself off 'on it's own'. This happened for several days in a row, so I thought there was a problem with the phone, however...

I use an application call Llama to automatically switch on and off my Wi-fi when I enter or leave my home GSM cell (there's only one cell in the village where I live!). I'd been using this app for well over a year on my Desire without issue, so I'd automatically installed it on the Note. It turns out that that the cell tower was either faulty, being fixed/upgraded or both. I told Llama to spend 5 minutes relearning the cells in my area and the problem has now gone away :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dellwole:
Maybe it was a setup issue but I can't think of where I made the error and I hadn't installed anything unto the phone yet as I had just got it and wanted to properly test for faults. I get a replacement in a few days anyway so I will know then, though I hope that doesn't happen again to me

I have it. All good with the exception of data speeds via ATT and general poor network coverage. Also can not use my microcell with the n7000. Really all ATT issues. I have been using an iphone 4s and think it will be replaced.

Wow I can't wait for mine to arrive. I see the vast majority of you guys are happy with your device and have no issues with it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xplan9:
Well, one up and a couple back. I started having phantom screen input issues where the GN would do it's own screen tap in the bottom middle of the screen :confused: A real problem but when I re-set everything a couple fo times I got connected to my ATT microcell and HSPA+ connectivity which was a big step forward.

Anyone experienced the "phantom screen input issue"? It doesn't always happen but when it does it fires up any app that happens to have an icon in the center/bottom of any screen.

battery life for me has been phenomenal. 14+ hours a day with out SetCPU...although I am on tmobile so 3G is not draining the battery
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
This poll shows the vast majority have no issues using the Note and the faults reported here from the minority are probably typical for any smart phone. No device is guaranteed 100% fault free which is why manufacturers provide a warranty. This poll should be a sticky so that the faults reported here do not give the wrong impression that the Note is faulty.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
If the product is not faulty there is absolutely no need to defend it from anything.

Best Ever

I have no issues. everything as advertised and better. I have a rooted Note with latest software update (as of 12/1) and a custom ROM, and I have no issues, works like a charm, from push exchange email to Go Launcher, all is the way it should be. 3G is fine (AT&T) and WiFi at home is fast, works well and am more than happy with my Note. I can't imagine having another phone. The best of all, of course, is the 5.3" screen.

Happy Holidays!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] FlamingGoat:
Very bad vertical and horizontal grid lines visible on the lower brightness levels that i use. I bought mine online from Amazon.de and don't really want the costs and time of sending it back especially if i cld get another doing the same again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JulyDerek:
No issues here. I was only struck with how big is was (even though I was a SG2 owner), and I had handled it in the store.

My one gripe is the cover that comes with the phone is pretty useless as it does nothing to protect the back & holding the phone with it is very uncomfortable. I just ordered a leather sleeve for it.

Other than the above, I love my new phone (& I thought the SG2 was an awesome phone).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ngambek2003:
Have it for 2 weeks now. Started noticing an area on the screen that's lighter in color than the rest. More visible when the color is grey. See screenshot for location (you won't actually see it on the screenshot. I'm just pointing out the location on mine)

Grey rendering is always a weakness for AMOLED devices.

I just bought a note. Moving from a galaxy s2 running Checkrom and a 2000mah battery.

What are your feelings about the "upgrade"? I'm considering selling the s2 if the note can step up to the mark.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JulyDerek:
If you don't mind the bigger Note then you can sell off your SG2. I did sell of my SG2 which was a great phone too.

Without a doubt. I also had the streak and still have it at home. I recently took it out of retirement for a day to test some stuff out and my sgs2 is light years ahead of it. Now the note with its gorgeous screen size and pen should be the best device I've ever had :-)

Hey guys. I would like to just add that I got my device from Amazon.es which imported it from Amazon.de and so far I must say that I'm a happy camper. :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] entropy96:
Battery life from stock ROM (GB 2.3.6, KK3 kernel) was one of the worst I've ever seen.

The problem was obviously not from the battery, since after flashing a custom ROM, battery life has improved tremendously.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gee2012:
I`am very happy with the note in general. Don`t forget this is the first phone of this size/density for samsung. The few issues it has will all be fixed with one or two updates.

If you put whatever product under a microscope you will always find flaws, it depends on how hard you look:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xplan9:
I had to return my Note because of the strange, but debilitating, phantom screen input issue. However, I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new unit (via NewEgg) because what I was able to see of the Note was incredibly impressive. I am a pretty heavy user of email, forums and the Internet in general and I think the Note is a unique solution in the "sometimes phone and lots of web work" category.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] brunte:
It would have been nice to have the screen look perfect even in low bright... my friends note looks a lot better, but where do you draw the line since gray in low bright obviously doesnt look perfect on theese samoleds. if perfect is unatainable then i think i settle for the the gnote i got. running it om max bright right now just to savour the clarity for a while :)

But, i have to turn of the active noise reduction on every call because the other end cant hear a thing of what i say. maybe its broken... i would just like to have a way to turn it off by default even before switching to custom rom.

the lagginess and the unresponsiveness of the screen is just software so i will fix that with a good rom just as soon as i have decided not to try and return this hoping for a better screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Barkotron:
The only issue I have is the horrible (compared to original Galaxy S) voice dialling. With the S, it was instantly ready to react, I didn't have to talk like a robot, it didn't have to have a server connection and it hardly ever got the name of the person I wanted to call wrong.

With the Note it's very different though. If I could find a way to switch off the Vlingo stuff and just use the voice dialler from the S, it would be as near perfect a device for me as I can imagine. Well, I'd have preferred a version with 64GB internal storage, but I'm happy enough with what I've got.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dafreaking:
1. Battery life is great. I use 2G with 2-3 hrs of wi-fi in between, an hr of calls, and an hour of just flipping between the homescreens :P

2. It does lag at times. Especially when it comes out of deep sleep, almost as if its waiting for another input from the user.

3. Screen Banding - happens on some apps. more of an annoyance than anything

I think CM9/ICS should fix most of these problems. I am pretty happy with this device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rishikanta:
Very interesting results - 77% people says it's near perfect. :cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
How is 77% interesting? Im even expecting 95%
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
77% is interesting for it shows that the fault threads here do not apply to the vast majority of owners, even though the threads try to suggest that. I don't think you would ever get 95% satisfaction on any phone on XDA.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] beestee:
On top of that, how many individuals that have issues with their notes stumble upon XDA while searching for a solution, whereas those with no problems that are not acquainted with XDA will never know of or report in this poll.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
The problem with polls like this is that it's all relative.

'call quality' for example, could be related to a ton of things.

After heavy use of my note for two months now, I noticed two weeks ago that I had a stuck pixel. I actually don't remember where it is anymore. I guess it became unstuck. I could flag that as a 'screen issue' but I'm not going to.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DMax99:
what colour was the stuck pixel? you are luck it went away for you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xplan9:
I don't think the threads "try" to suggest that the Note is completely flawed. The threads are more indicative of people's desire to find an answer to a problem they are experiencing or possibly if what they are experiencing is their own user error.

Every Internet forum, whether it be for cars, computers or airline service is always going to draw people trying to solve issues. There will be, as there are here, also a number of glowing reviews and comments for a particular product or service.

I think this forum for the Note is pretty similar to any other forum in terms of tone.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zkyevolved:
I created the thread because while I was deciding between the SGN and the SGN (haha! Samsung Galaxy Note vs Samsung Galaxy Nexus), I found that I wanted A LOT MORE the Note over the Nexus, but I came to the forum and saw SO MANY people saying how flawed it was. Screen issues. Battery issues. Speed issues. The list went on and on. I thought it was completely strange, so I created this poll to find out if everyone who frequented XDA had issues! I found out that the device was mainly fantastic :D So I went for it, got one with 0 issues, I have fantastic battery life, the screen is great (besides banding, but it doesn't bother me), lag is minimal.

The group of people who own a note is minority.

The group of people who have issues is a minority of the minority.

The people who don't have issues and frequent the forum are an even smaller minority of the minority of people who have a Note. I have a logitech mouse that I love, but I don't go around posting in forums about it (maybe I should? lol). But if I were to have issues, it's faster to post in forums than to go to the store and get an RMA and wait weeks to possibly fix something that I could do here.

If 80% of the people don't have issues here, I'd believe that's an indicator of 95% of ALL SGNs not having ANY issues. We have to take into account happy campers, and happy campers that aren't forum goers (or XDA goers!)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
So you got a perfect screen nice and you don't have a pink spot on the camera when you try to make a close one shot from a white item on low light situation without a flash. You don't see black squares on dark videos. You can draw on the right left side with spen on photo editor on portrait mode, on same side like the configuration of the spen for right left handed use. You don't see lines on grey on low brightness. I got all those but i don't care i think and i do believe that they are software related issues which will eventually be resolved.

If i wanted a perfect phone i would buy a Nokia 6230
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
All of the issues you mention is software apart from the lines on the screen, those are hardware defects.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xplan9:
I'm pretty sure if you went to any new device forum you'd see a lot of complaints and defect issues (even if its not a new device you will find forums populated with complaints and issues).

If your poll made you feel better about buying a GNote, that's cool.

only issue that I have is that I think it's the best phone on the market now, so my search has ended! :p

For me it's the best because I don't have even to think about getting a Tablet or a Kindle (well maybe I'll get kindle but just because battery on Kindle lasts for weeks!), I travel a lot and it just made my traveling so much more easier...

So in any case the screen, the system (Android, specially when ICS comes out), battery, how it is in the hand,,, just perfect!!

that's all I can say
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] naimmkassim:
I had a HD2 once, Love the 4.3" screen but OS is window 6.5 which crap for me. Then desire come out, love the android but too small screen for me. How i wish i can get android with 4.3" screen. Then out from the sky, Desire HD come out! I get it and really happy. Then i saw Galaxy tab with 7" display and its like WOW!. I buy it and love the big screen. Then the pain come! Too big screen and cant put inside me pocket. Back to my DHD. Then dual core come, i buy the Sensation with its dual core1.2ghz. But i still dream to get a big screen with dual core and not going to be a pain in the ass to carry. And then GALAXY NOTE come!! I buy it and i think my hunt to get the perfect phone for my amuse had end!! ^^ lol

Unless quadcore started rolling, then my hunt will started again..hahaha!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
The Note is better than the iPhone for using on the Web because of the larger screen. Yet there are a lot more iPhone applications available for using on the Web. For example you can view Sky TV on the Web but you need an iPhone or an iPad and there are loads of other examples. It is no good having the best hardware available if you cannot use it.

I have been tempted to buy an iPad because of the lack of support for Android, but I'm using my laptop instead. Perhaps with ICS there will be more support otherwise phones like the Note are not able to fulfil their potential on the Web.

Hello.

is my device defective?

1) Phone left the charger in the morning and its now its down to70% after just 2h20m. for 1h30m the Display is on (im using the phone - emails, etc) I tend to set brightness at 10-20% (normal brightness hurts my eyes), in Battery stats the display is the highest battery eater - 54%.

is this normal?

2) also when in total darkness and setting black background (or NoLED app operating, whatever) i see that the display is still backlit, pixels are not totally black. is it normal? i thought these AMOLED displays have no backlight?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zkyevolved:
Your device is fine. And about the black led it's a software issue that were all hoping will get fixed soon because on my lock screen I have an all black background and it lights up black. But on my home screen I have a mostly black background and it shows as black and the pixels aren't lit. Strange. But it's not a defect. It's just a software bug. Battery life for me varies. I always get 3 hours of screen on time minimum. This device has great battery life. My sgs2 with the 2000 mah battery got a Max of 3 hours on time if I was lucky.

hmm, no. try totally black bg. or try NoLED. when you get notification (or set "show time permanently" or just "test notifications") there should be no wallpaper, just notification icon and clock (if u set it). if you are in complete darkness (e.g. bathroom with lights off) you can see that the whole screen is backlit!!

regarding my display usage, i guess its quite normal, some ppl have 80% display usage :D and i`m on my 3rd charging cycle, so maybe my battery hasnt yet reached its full capacity.
