[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] drksilenc:
its ota it will be offered not forced.

also there are ways to disable the ota check that way you dont even see the prompts and can just wait for the community for a rooted stock rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
Could you share this "ways to disable the OTA check"?

I just got my Note today and already I received a prompt saying that there is a new "AT&T Software Update". I have NOT rooted my phone yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DROID76:
Download titanium backup and freeze it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DROID76:
Sorry just read it wasnt rooted. You will have to root to freeze the aps.

Hi,

Yes,I have noticed this worrying trend...

:confused:
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
One of the things to keep in mind when looking at responses to this kind of poll is to realize that we're looking at an adversely selected population of respondants.

Everyone who posts here about a failure is on XDA.

Everyone on XDA meddles with their phone.

So it's easy to conclude that meddling with your phone causes the phone to fail. (Or that ARHD causes the phone to fail because 90% of custom ROM users are running ARHD)

But that doesn't actually prove anything about the relationship between meddling with the phone and the phone failing because we're not including the 98% of Sensation users who run the stock ROM, don't even know you can replace it, and still have hardware failures.

In order for this poll to be worth any statstical value, we'd need to know what the general failure rate is among all Sensations, including the 98% that aren't rooted, s-offed, or anything else of that nature. (And I'd be willing to bet that someone here is good enough with Google to search out those stats. I guarentee HTC and the Carriers keep that information. It's just a matter of how public they make it.)

If the failure rate among people who flash custom ROMs, kernels, radios, etc is significantly higher than among the general population, then we can conclude that we're doing something risky.

If the failure rate on rooted phones is similar to the failure rate of the total population, then flash whatever you like with joy in your heart. You phone might die on you, but it would have died anyway. You're not the problem.

I would expect the rate of reported failures to be slightly higher on XDA than among the general population even if it's a general hardware fault. That's just because we're more likely to talk about a failed device than the average consumer who has a higher chance of just buying a new one and never talking about it.
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Just looking to see if there's common ground between them... :p
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
Yes it would help to just narrow it down and try and deal with it unless we want the problem to spread. And now saying that I'm going off arhd to virtuous inquisition after reading previous posts :D
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Here is another thread from last week, I think he was running Virtuous before it died on him, but not 100% sure.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1624293

I agree with the failure rate statement, just seems like the folks posting these having been flashing for a while and seems a bit different than the "HELP, I JUST BRICKED MY PHONE" type of thread:D
[HTC Sensation] newr:
Yes..I am not sure if this issue is just a hardware problem and it just happens it died...or if it's related to what we're flashing and modding. And yes...I had flashed ROM a few times before...including insertcoin GB, and ICS...and everything was working....

After I installed ARHD..it seemed fine too...it was running....until I made a phone call.. then it died. So was it just coincidence that it happened after I installed that ROM (include 4ext recovery, radio recommended for t-mobile)...or it's something related to the files we're flashing. I don't think it was from flashing incorrectly since everythig was running for a bit.

If it's just a hardware pb with HTC...then surely there's nothing we can do....but if something is up with the files we're flashing that's killing the phone...as there seem to be much more of these occurences lately with the new ICS roms....then maybe something is up and hopefully someone smart can pinpoint the pb.

Do any of the Devs know this is happening?
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Radio recommended for T-Mobile USA in ARHD... I know there was something posted that was supposed to help T-Mobile USA phones be a bit faster in ARHD, is that what you flashed?

Just found this in ARHD:

HTC Sensation 4G (U.S. T-Mobile PG5810000 | T-MOB010) users can flash this for better signal and data speeds!

Wondering if this could cause the problem?
[HTC Sensation] newr:
Yes, this is what I flashed as part of the update. But it doesn't explain why others have same pb?
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Hi - I'm just wondering if there is something up with that particular update that is sometimes wreaking havoc with ICS roms for T-mobile USA users.

The reason I pointed it out is because its not a necessary update to install an ICS rom on the Sensation. We just need the latest firmware package and the Rom.

AFAIK, that update is only supposed to enable faster data in the U.S. Probably everyone else in the world outside of the USA, installing ARHD, skips over that update.

I guess it would help to know if the same type of failures are happening to people outside the U.S and who never installed that update.

I know the failure is not limited to just ARHD. So its possible though at one point someone went to the ARHD thread and installed that radio update with ARHD Rom, then jumped ship to say Virtuous and then had a phone failure, because that update is not part of the Rom itself.

This is just speculation - but trying to rule out possibilities.
[HTC Sensation] newr:
Hmm..possibly...but I did read mail from someone that's not in U.S. who had dead phone similar to mine....so unless they installed that radio file...it should be ok?
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
That is not a radio. It is rcdata for the radio and the build.prop needs to edited to match. I don't know what the end result of a long term mismatch would be (I suspect nothing bad), but I have run both dish 2 and dish 3 settings with no long term issues on either...

I know you are one of the affected users. Please do me a favor and post the info specifically requested in the OP... I'm specifically interested in what kernels, and cpu settings the affected users were using!
[HTC Sensation] futty:
i flashed that thing too when i was running a different rom then coindroid.. luckily im not one of the affected users...YET lol
[HTC Sensation] dgenx210:
This isn't looking so good... I hope the devs will figure this out before this thing catches on like wildfire... eek :eek:
[HTC Sensation] Hell Guardian:
I was about to get the Sensation...It seems i will have to think again!
[HTC Sensation] AngryB:
I had installed AOKP and when I format data and sd card to factory reset my phone won't turn on anymore...I have warranty and service changed my motherboard...now I can not unlock bootloader anymore...
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
I should close this thread since it seems nobody can read the OP and follow directions... :confused:
[HTC Sensation] KAwAtA:
I just think they're all dying now because it's been approx a year that the phone is out now? Maybe time is the killer! Afterall, I wouldn't think that the majority of users baby their phone... I've seen some people abuse the living crap out of their poor phone! Dents, scratches, marks everywhere. I'm not too surprised seeing this kind of issue after a year or so. Mine is slowly causing problems too (only prob at the moment is dust under screen and I don't like the microphone either...) and I baby this thing.
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
Man the same **** used to happen with the G2 and the myTouch4G, the emmc chip in the phone would just randomly give out after about 1 year. ****ing HTC phones, man.

i as using insert coin sense4 rom when mines stop turning on.........all i get is on and off vibrates
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
Wow you are right on it I hope mine don't crash
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
Only thing I see is all were on firm 3.32 and custom roms
[HTC Sensation] spidey88:
I was running Insert Coin 5.4.0, firmware 3.32 and kernel faux006b2 when it died
[HTC Sensation] Alipk52:
I am also running Insert Coin 5.4.0, i am really concerned, switching back to GB FIRMWARE/ROM right now!, thanx alot for reporting it, i realy love ICS, what a pitty we are forced to switch to older ones, by the way can you tell me have you flashed anything additional to it like RILS From

This Thread, or new Qualcomm Drivers from

This thread or anything else, maybe who knows if it is a culprit?
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
Telling you I bet its 3.32 has to be

More crying about over heating think of a computer heat is your enimy they make nitous coolers and **** to kill heat but can't on phone
[HTC Sensation] Lightfield:
So is it a good idea to downgrade to firmware 3.12 and Gingerbread ROMs or is it better to completely return to stock in case the Sensation bricks?
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
There is no evidence to suggest that there is a 3.32 firmware issue causing this. That is one similarity between the cases, but there are TONS of people running 3.32 firmware right now. If that were the issue then there would be a FLOOD of reports on this!

There is no evidence to point ANYTHING at the time being. For all we know the affected devices may have had physical damage, or the users may have flashed corrupted file systems... :confused:

I started this thread to track an issue, not cause a mass hysteria. Unfortunately only the latter seems to be taking place and I've collected almost NO usable information which I've requested!
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
yeah dont take anything on this post to heart only trying to narrow it down thinking out loud

i will say i am kinda scared to resume flashing a lot untill i know what maybe making phones crash i seen one more on post

they want to know how to fit it we dont even know whats breaking them i wonder if htc even knows or care now that ONE is out
[HTC Sensation] KCuadrado:
I remember many people were having problems some time ago with the MyTouch 4G. It would not boot and if you tried to update/restore firmware via bootloader it always failed. Something about eemc chip dying. Maybe overclocking for some time generates excessive heat and bam! I have never overclocked my phone for more than a week and it's still working. I even flash ROMs 2-5 times every week. Just my 2 cents.
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
well i oc alot 24/7 and always got phone on/going but it never gets hot even at max 1.728 i run at 1.674 max ondemand with systen tuner pro 2x cpu at boot
[HTC Sensation] newr:
Just for the info....Mine happened only 6 mths since I got the phone. I was running InsertCoin fine...but it happened after I installed ARHD 6.6.2 and the only thing I flashed different was the PMG85 file on the ARHD site to say it improves for T-mobile phones. I think I already had the same radio to start with. I didn't install any of the custom kernel...and didn't overclock.

Similar.. I am not use if I should upgrade again and try install custom ICS or just wait for official update from T-mobile...even though I haev rooted, and s-off etc again....

[HTC Sensation] DonDizzurp:
with the mytouch 4g and eMMC failure, the phone will turn on and show the splash screen at least

here it seems nothing even turns on or lights up.. this is ridiculous

so from what ive gathered, this phone has:

- touch screen digitizer issues

- loudspeaker issues

- dust under the screen

- deathgrip

- possibility of complete RANDOM brick turning phone into paperweight

im sure im missing more lol. my phone has the deathgrip issue and a weak loudspeaker

and knowing all this, i still bought a sensation only a few weeks ago

im an idiot. hopefully mine doesnt die :(

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhys D luffy:
Hello, I was thinking about getting the Samsung Galaxy Note n7000 later this year,but i've been surfing on various web sites saying that the galaxy note has pretty much issues!

The sound isn't loud when playing music using earphones

S pen gets depolarised

and the screen breaks easily even when its built with corning gorilla glass!

I wanted some opinion of users,who's used this mobile phone for a very long time as well as people who had these problems with the Note! Thank you! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devwithzachary:
Well I find the music is very loud when through earphones (however the speaker on the phone is pretty poor)

Had no issues with S pen

and havnt got a single mark on my screen since I got it (touch wood) and I dont use a case or screen protector etc
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pboesboes:
Hmmm, odd. I think the earphones are too loud, even on the lowest setting. But this can really depend on what earphones you use.

The s-pen isn't polarised to begin with.

The screen will break more easily compared to smaller phones, because it's bigger and thus more fragile. A good case is recommended. :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roeltjuh:
Well, the volume of music differs from rom to rom, and the first thing I did when I got it was flash ICS. But I use it as my main mp3 player and the volume is fine, I usually only have it halfway up. The supplied in-ear headphones are pretty good, too. Better then my Apple ones. I barely use the s-pen, and I don't have the Note for long enough to comment on that. Though I don't really see what the s-pen has to do with biology. I don't think what you've read is true. I have never dropped my Note as I'm very careful, but I did watch some drop tests of the Note and it fared pretty well. But you should know, compared to my last phone (4.3 inch), I find the Note to be a bit unwieldy. It's not uncomfortably large, but I am pretty scared of dropping it because of the size.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Colingajewski:
The sound is plenty loud enough. I'm a musician, and I like bit of volume, depends on what you're plugging into the audio jack. I put a screen protector on from day 1 = no scratches. S Pen works as advertised. The Note is not military spec, so if hit it with a sledgehammer it might break.

connect all the cables, except the phone (micro USB on the bottom of the phone:p)

press and hold volume down button with the camera button, then press the power button, the phone should turn on with a grey screen and blue text in the middle that says "Enter USB Host Mode" or something like that..

connect your phone to usb

your screen should look like the photo attached in that thread
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manuel92:
Ok, i did everything as you said, and my phone was in "Enter USB host mode". After i connect it to USB it changes to "Loading..." and remains stuck there forever. I also tried with different card readers and different micro SD (always 1 GB or lower), same results.

Notice that my card readers don't have a flashing light so i don't know wether they are working or not. I assume they are working because the screen changes in "Loading" but for some reason it gets stuck in there.

Maybe I should change rom? I'm using a NoDo rom i found on an italian blog since i can't download the ones the xda forum provides, i always get the error "server is busy" or something like that.

Do you have any suggestion? I'm using this rom anyway:

ht tp:// uplo aded .to/file /dud fva8j

Edit: the rom i'm using is not a custom rom of course, it's the original NoDo.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] husam666:
hmm, are you sure the ROM you're using is the one for your phone, you know, if your phone is T-Mobile, you have to download tmobile rom... etc

and maybe there isn't enough power for the phone and the reader, try using your wall charger not your computer/laptop

and try asking a friend to download you the roms from xda, especially if you know someone with different ISP

hope it works
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manuel92:
I'm absolutely sure the rom is exactly for my phone, and i'm using a wall charger (i also tried with computer though).

I'll try to download the roms from xda in some way, can someone give me a link to a working one? I tried from this list but some links say the file has been removed, others just don't work because the file sharing site is close and so on.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] husam666:

As the install guide says you are meant to flash the repack and then go into recovery and flash the rom. You will likely need to flash a gb kernel via obin and then do as hia install guide says
