some life!

Ok i have an update.

The phone is now booting up but still with the snowy effect,this happened after just randomly swiping the screen and the incorrect lock code entered screen suddenly appeared!

After random screens from the carousel appeared and froze and then unfroze i managed to factory reset the phone,this has made no difference to the snowy screen that comes back at random although more so when the screen times out.

The fact that everything is still going on behind the snow would indicate a hardware malfunction yes?

Could this be down to the digitizer that i put on the phone which i have had the usual unresponsiveness issues with as talked about so much on here.

I was thinking about taking the phone apart agin and rechecking all the cables etc are connected properly then making sure all the contacts are correctly connecting and seal it properly this time as i got quite a build up o dust between the digitizer and lcd on my first attempt.

Do you guys think this is the next logical step or have any better ideas?

here is a pic of the snow:

Thanks in advance ;)

Go to the nearest htc repair center. Request a new one immediately;)
[HTC Sensation] djp76:
Wont me changing the digitizer have voided my warranty though?
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
Well your problem seems to be the screen or the gpu. If you are lucky they won't even notice the digitizer. Just demand a new one and dont accept it to be repaired. ...

A lot of members did that with success .. you might be lucky too;)

Of course your warranty will be voided if you changed it yourself

I have the same problem

I have the same problem, my phone won't boot up and it just has a colored snowy screen. It happened when my nephew was playing a game on it then the phone just froze. I tried turning it off and it wouldn't so I took out the battery and booted it up without being able to see the logo or anything it just boots up straight to this pixelated snow screen. Is this an lcd problem or a gpu problem? I found an lcd replacement that I considered buying but then i thought it could be something else.

I have not rooted or flashed my phone nor did i damage it in anyway physically. So could this be a software problem maybe?

I tried flashing a new rom, but wouldn't I need to turn on USB debugging in the options menu? I can't access the options menu because I can't see behind the snow. Any help will be appreciated!

P.S. I will post a video later today of the problem.
[HTC Sensation] tanglang1:
Got the same problem here. HELP!:crying:
[HTC Sensation] tanglang1:
Some developments in my situation. I used Airdroid to connect my htc to the computer (like a blind man navigating). On the computer I could see the normal screen as if nothing happened. After a few flips of the screen, all of a sudden my HTC screen went back on.

When I got the snowy screen the mobile was working with GPS and navigation...maybe it's a Rom problem. Going to Flash it again and report if it doesn't solve it.

Flashing new Rom worked for me.

Before Flashing the Rom I tried to disconnect all the screen connector's and reconnecting them back (very carefully!) but it didn't help.

i see. then have you tried an app called "systemapp remover"??

of course needs root to use and you can get it through android market or internet.

you can uninstall regular apps (the ones you installed) and

uninstall/disable system apps..

from the app, you can also make a backup for incase..

the backups goes to a folder called "systemappbackup" in int. sdcard

and i have this app installed and i can see the "vvm" app.

Vv is easy to uninstall with titanium backup if your rooted. What confuses people is the icon that is still left in the app drawer. That comes from the htc mms app

Thanks guys, that must be the case. The icon is in my app drawer but there's no "vvm" to be found.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfunk1x:
Hey folks,

I'm trying to retrieve a crash log (at home) for a friend of mine and I've having a hell of a time trying to get my Ubuntu 11.10 install with the latest/greatest Android SDK (ADB) to recognize my G2. I can mount the sd card just fine, but adb never recognizes the device. I'm trying this through eclipse, btw. Trying 'adb devices' in console also nets no devices.

I have done the following:

Created /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules ; chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev

Restarted UDEV

Rebooted

Disabled / Enabled / Disabled USB debugging on my phone

Changed cables

Changed USB ports

I'm at a loss as to what to do next. Eclipse/ADT recognizes there is an emulator running when I run an emulator, but since I can't get the emulator to crash with this app, that doesn't help me in this situation. Using this same cable/device combo on a MBP, Eclipse sees the device just fine, but since this is my home/development box, I'd really like ym Ubuntu install to work with my phone.

What have I completely missed or overlooked here?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipqer:
Maybe kill the emulator, and/or try running adb as root.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pentie:
it may not be the problem with udev (if u don't touch the udev things at all, sudo adb device will still shows the device.)

try the command `dmesg', see if the last lines tells anything.

then `lsusb -v`, to see if the usb system recognized ur phone.

paste the result if u still don't figure that out. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoffmas:
hm... i use adb in another distribution (fedora 16).

what does it show when you type adb devices? no permission and a lot of "????????"

i solved this issue doing this:

1. su then password (i think ubuntu its sudo)

2. adb kill-server

3. adb start-server

4. adb devices ...now the phone should show up.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kéno40:
for ubuntu it's "sudo su" then password to be sure it will keep root for a while.

I've notice the same thing at home since updates. but if I launch DDMS, it shows up....

I'll take a look at this this week end
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfunk1x:
sudo adb devices / sudo su -> adb devices doesn't show my device. This is on a fresh boot and sudo adb devices launches the adb server. The only output from adb devices is 'List of devices attached'. No question marks or device data is shown after that - it's as if nothing is plugged in.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android_Monsters:
It has to do with the pathway. Make sure you put your files in the right folder. Fix permissions. And have the drivers.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfunk1x:
What is the "pathway"? Also, what files are you talking about? What permissions? What drivers? I've never used any special drivers in previous installs of Ubuntu - it's just worked - nor have I had to change permissions outside of the android rules file in the udev folder.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] garyd9:
I want a galaxy note. (doesn't everyone?) Sadly, Samsung neglects those of us in the US, making us wait months and months after a phone is released before we see it. Even then, we only get the "carrier downgraded" versions.

So, I'm going to order an unlocked version online. Actually, I just placed an order with amazon.com for one that comes with a 3rd party 90 day US warranty, and is described as "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Unlocked Cellphone--US Warranty (Blue)" (Looks like I got the last one they have in stock, too.)

Does anyone have any idea what "(blue)" is all about? Is this the same Galaxy Note seen throughout Europe, or some US downgraded one? The model number is listed as "GT-N7000", but I'm paranoid... Perhaps it's just a different color batter cover?

Does the Note have 5GHz wifi, or only 2.4GHz? (I've googled for this, but some places claim "802.11 b/g/n" while others claim "802.11 a/b/g/n"

I've seen (and am thankful for) the sticky posted for US users on AT&T. The APN settings pretty much match what I'm using on my GSII (at&t downgraded version.)

Anything else I need to know before I start using this new phone? (I'm coming from a galaxy SII (at&t version.)

Thank you

Gary

Welcome aboard! I also come from S2 but International Version....I have the Gnote about a month ago... Yes...it's connect to WIFI 5G ( my router Netgear WNDR 3700).

I went with expansys us - which is a big reputable cell importer, has a huge supply of the Note ( 31 in stock currently) and many of its accessories, and when I called them explained that they had a real 2 year Samsung European warranty that you have to go back through them to fulfill. 2 yrs though with no cost.

$689.99, free ship. -- to me was the best $/warranty/speed to deliver deal with the reputable dealer.

Got it it delivered quickly and in my hands. They communicated throughout.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr. xp55:
So as the title says, my note has never lasted a full day on a full charge. Even with moderate use, it lasts maybe 15-16 hours. With heavy use, playing a game or 2 or using the browser, it lasts maybe 9 hours. From the first day I got it I've rooted it and have used only the romow rom.

Currently on the version 7.5 HD.

BB: LA4

Kernal: AbyssNote 3.3

Each time I flash a new rom I always do a battery calibration test and even wipe the battery stats on recovery.

I notice people get a full day's use from the battery and maybe even more. Is there something I am missing? My wi-fi is always off unless I am at home or when needed. I turn the data connection off too most of the times. When I look at the battery usage in settings (I do this often), the display shows the most usage, always more than 65%, and nothing else. The android system, android OS, cell standby and whatever else are always less than 10%. Is there something I can do to increase the time the battery lasts? I'd like to get a full day's worth, and even more

Recently i visited a samsung service centre. I asked the engineer as what kind of problems people have reported in the note other than screen issues and he said battery issues and people ve got their batteries replaced. Maybe u want to get urs checked.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Z-Blade:
I would also suggest get your battery checked. But more than likely, Samsung will say 15-16 hours of moderate use is normal.

I am currently using Rocket ROM v20 with Abyss 3.5b. I have had it without charge for 12 hours now and from 100% it is at 82% right now. So far today I have watch an ep of anime (22mins long), gaming for 1.5 hours, had 4 phone calls (total of 42 mins). I think only draining 18% after all of that is impressive.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr. xp55:
That is impressive. If I watch a 40 min show only, my battery would go down from 100% to 65. And if I play a game for an hour (depends on the cpu/ram usage the game takes up to), then my battery is at 20%. And this has been since the beginning. The moderate use I am talking about is calls here and there, texting, playing a game for maybe 20 min. Like today I played Shadowgun for a total of an hour, where's my water for 20 min, and texted a bit, made 2 calls, and used dolphin browser for 10 min. It hasnt even been 12 hours and my battery is at 20%. Ahhh I think I just need to get a new battery.

I know roms/kernals/basebands all factor into battery usage as well, so are there any suggestions as to which one might be good with this? Aesthetically I love romow's rom. I love every layout of it. Rocket rom is a little too "in your face" kind of, atleast for me.

I actually like the "in your face" look, of course that is my preference. I heard that checkrom is good for battery but in all honesty, I have tried a couple of roms and there isn't a huge difference between them. The biggest difference with battery usage I have notice is when you start using a OCing app with profiles like SetCPU. Tweak the power usage with each speed step and create profiles for when the screen is off, on call and etc.

I'd really love to work with some people to come up with a step by step guide on how to track down and fix battery drain / over heat problems.

The best way to waste power is to make heat with radio chip and GPU. Second best is to make light with torch or screen.

I know with the change in battery technology, some old practice no longer applies but I still follow the old rule of thumb when I get a new equipment.

When I got my Note, the very first thing I did was charge the phone for 12 hours before actually using it. You might want to give that a shot, the reading on the battery may not always be correct.

Running stock LA4 ROM here. Brightness usually on lowest. If you don't touch the phone, it can last on standby a week. See below how it only lost 3% after 17 hours. Of course as the screen was off all the time, the internal processes take most of the power consumed.

After more than 1 day I still have 50% battery. See how it drops fast when I'm using the phone to read and download web pages.

All I use it during the course of the day - is browsing forums via tapatalk, viewing the occasional email. No hectic media consumption and music playing.

I am trying a different route now - it was running on stock firmware - over the weekend I've taken the following steps.

Rooted my device , installed CheckRom Revo v5 , running speedmod kernel with modem LA4

Hoping to see how that improves things.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChodTheWacko:
First of all, you should post a screen shot of your battery graph.

How bright is your screen? If it's at 100%, then you're going to chew through battery very fast.

Games that require very high cpu usage will kill the battery.

Some games I can play forever on - some games, like Plants vs zombies, or puzzle quest 2, kill the battery. I can probably get 3-4 hours worth on a battery, and that's with a very low screen brightness. That's the price to pay with a fast cpu.

Dolphin is quite the battery hog too. I try to avoid it - I browse for hours with opera mobile, especially with the green on black mod.

Ive had mine through a couple charge cycles now and im not impressed at all, doesnt feel like its doubled my battery life.

Im at 80% after 2 hours, with only 16 minutes of screen on time. This might actually be worse than stock. The battery summary doesnt show any major drain from apps, and go launchers running app list doesnt show anything out of the ordinary either.

Im running Faux 0.9/Juggernaut 4.1/Litening theme

Im not sure what else I can do, battery is draining ridiculously fat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anomy13:
It could be just be a defective one. Some custom roms dont recognize the batter stats properly as well. Try exchanging the battery for a new one and also try a different rom. Also try Wipe Battery Stats in clockworkmod recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
Hmm, thats kinda scary, would reflashing a rom from scratch fix that?

Also, google has stated wiping stats does nothing, thats a recent development.

As for exchanging, its from amazon, it took 3 weeks to ship this one to me lol.

It might be defective, it did take 9 hours to charge. 3500/650 should be ~ 5.3 hours, but maybe this is why it was on sale for 12 bucks.
