My two top hinges/tabs have broken off already.

I've had two warranty replacements so with the hour long tech support calls pulling out battery and all that combined with changing batteries every once in a while.. it seems they've gotten too much wear even though I don't take the back off often at all?

I'm super careful with electronics so I don't understand how they broke other than it was a stupid setup.

Anyone else having this problem and will Verizon send a replacement back? Think a Verizon store would give you a new back?

One more hinge and and I definitely won't even be able to snap it in place anymore - and I will be owning this phone for a long time.

Had one on the bottom of mine break, and now has an annoying vibration when the phone vibrates
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SandyRB:
Hi folks.

This is my first post here. I've been through the "noob's guide" and stuff but to be honest it's all WAY above my head. I'm just not a techy type. Anyway, thing is, I have a Note 717 and Samsung just "updated" it to the new 4.0.4 OS. I loved it before, it was great, but now I've got all kinds of problems and I really want to go back to the old OS if possible. It was working brilliantly before and I wish to heck I'd known what it was going to do when the upgrade notice came up because I'd have hit 'cancel' faster than you can say it. Now it's slow, it crashes, it's lost a bunch of my stuff, yadda yadda.

I understand that I might have to "root" it to reinstall the old OS, but I haven't got a clue where to begin and, to be honest, I'm scared to death of killing an expensive phone.

So anyway I just wondered if there's anyone willing to wet-nurse a complete, green-as-grass newcomer and help me through this process? Be warned first though; I'm really not that great with computers and may ask a lot of very stupid questions. I beg your forbearance. :)

So anyway if someone could please help me I would be very grateful indeed.

Thanks in advance.

Sandy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alperin1:
Sandy,

When you did you up rage it probably wipe all you data right?

My first step for you would be to do a factory reset and see if the issue you are experiencing get resoleved.

Do you know how to get to your settings?

If so, look around in there and do a factory reset.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SandyRB:
Hi Alperin.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Oddly, my data appears okay. But now the phone's painfully slow and crashes frequently. The new email client is dogs**t, I get a "process has stopped" message every time I power it up, the interface has become user-unfriendly and some of my widgets and apps are missing. It's just RUINED this phone that I was so enjoying having.

I can find that, yes, but I don't want to go erasing all my data, it took me forever to get it all in there. Is there another way of backing it up than sending it to Google?

Thanks!

Sandy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alperin1:
One of the apps on your Note is called Kies or Kies air. Use this to backup your data.

Then do your factory reset.

Sorry I do not have Kies but if needed I will try to assist.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SandyRB:
Hi Alperin.

Thank you again for the ongoing assistance, I really appreciate it!!

Hooray! Kies actually performed the backup flawlessly (that's a new feature in my experience). The only way I can get Kies to work is with an older version, but I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. :)

Okay, I went to do the factory reset, found it under "backup and reset" and it said "Delete Samsung account first". But I looked in the accounts section and I don't appear to have one with Samsung. What do I have to do please?

THANK YOU again!!!!

Sandy.

Me too! That's exactly what I want to do. Already had a couple of very helpful correspondences with Alperin and we seem to be making some progress.

Nope, unfortunately I'm with Bell. Actually the guys at the Bell Store have been helpful, no complaint there.

Thanks again.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Darth_Munkee:
I can certainly relate to being hesitant to root your phone and start installing g custom ROMs, I had mine almost 3 months before I did which is a long time on a stock Samsung ROM for me. Try watching some of the tutorial videos on YouTube, they helped me a lot when I started with my Captivate. I particularly like the ones from Mobile Tech Videos but I'm not sure if there are any from them for the Note. Hope you're able to get it sorted out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alperin1:
Not sure what to tell you. I do not have that on my build.

Is it just a question?

There is another way to do the factory reset. I will try to find it.

---------- Post added at 01:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 AM ----------

Ok here is another method.

1) power off the phone.

2) hold down the up and down volume buttons at the same time. And while holding them down press the power button

3) the phone will start and you will feel it vibrate. Release the power button, only the poer button

4). You should be in recovery mode.

5) select to do the wipe data/ factory reset

6) let your phone do it's thing

Set up the phone and see if it runs better.

This is a pain in the ass to type on an iPad. :)

Hi Alperin.

Thank you so much for your continued help, I really appreciate it.

Thanks for passing that over. I'm going to give it a try. Do you know if this will restore it to the Android 2.3.6 or did the update fundamentally alter the phone so that it's always going to be 4.0.4? Holy cow I really hope it comes up 2.3.6!!!

I'll let you know what happens post-reset. Thanks again for all your help. :)

Cheers,

Sandy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alperin1:
This will keep ICS but put it back to the all default setting and remove all apps that are not part of the upgrade package you installed.

Let's see how this works for you before going back to GB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SandyRB:
Hi again.

Okay I did that and it worked. Thanks for the instructions. However, as I feared it came back with the dreaded 4.0.4. But, this being said, my data and stuff is all backed up, so I feel a bit more ready to proceed. :)

Now... how do I get the wonderful 2.3.6 back on it please?

Thanks again!!!

Sandy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SandyRB:
Hi again Alperin.

I'm very grateful for your ongoing assistance, thank you so much.

Right I think I've got the hang of the names... ICS is version 4.0.4 and GB is 2.3.6 right? Forgive me if this seems elementary to you - but its all new to me! :)

I don't want to sound like a Luddite but there's so much I dislike about ICS that I really want to go back to GB. The functionality was way better, the phone was faster, it didn't crash, it performed like I expected it to, the interface made sense... and so on. So I'm eager to get started on transitioning back to the former OS. I don't know how busy everyone here is, but I'm going to take the USB cable to work and maybe I can get into it there. I pretty much just answer the phone these days, so I won't get into trouble, don't worry! :)

THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!

Sandy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Black6spdZ:
A factory ROM and fast be it GB or ICS don't belong in the same sentace.. if you tried a nice vanilla ROM such as CM9 you might be surprised what a fast phone really is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chico1620:
Sandy, stock roms tend to be full of bloat software that will reduce the performance of any phone. Gb as you say worked better because is a more mature os than ics. So if you decide to root your phone make sure to try a custom ics rom which may be fast and stable and your phone will stay on game with the newer stuff instead of using an older os.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SandyRB:
Hi there Black6 and Chico.

Thanks guys, I very much appreciate your responses, input and suggestions. I'm sure that it's all good stuff, but I really just want 2.3.6 back. Whilst all this custom stuff sounds interesting (and is, I'm sure, great fun for you clever whizzes that understand it) my plea is a relatively simple one; I just want my phone back the way it was! :)

But, again, I really do appreciate your input, thanks! :)

Sandy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alperin1:
I am at work so I will be responding slowly. There is a guide for this, I will try to find it for you.

BTW is it still crashing on you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SandyRB:
Hi Alperin.

Thanks again for your response.

No worries! I recognise that you guys are all helping me out just 'coz you can, and I'm really grateful. So if it takes all day (or more) then no problemo; I don't want to detract from your work.

Thank you so much! That sounds great.

It hasn't crashed since the reset and restore that I did 1½ hours ago, but it hasn't done anything else either (well, except turn on the GPS without asking me haha). No email, no calls, no texts - and that's very unusual because I normally get a lot of those throughout the day. I hope it's not indicative of a problem, but I understand that it's a work-in-progress.

Slight update: The Wi-Fi is working, that's a good thing. :)

Thanks again!

Sandy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kinghorsey:
I'm afraid the only way to revert back to GB is more technical than a simple factory reset and involves using Odin to flash back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SandyRB:
Hi Kinghorsey.

Thanks for your message.

Okay, this sounds like what I need to do. I'm pretty much willing to try anything, but can I just emphasize again that I'm a total newbie at this. So is Odin a piece of software that I can get?

Thanks!!

Sandy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
I'm not sure if this is true, but i f you use Odin to flash back to gb then all the data you saved on Kies may be worthless since you were on ics when you backed everything up. Correct me if I'm wrong. Just a thought.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SandyRB:
Hi Froidroid.

Thanks for your input.

Interesting... however, I do at least have the contact (etc) data in Kies and can put it back in manually if necessary. Also, all my files are backed up seperately. My dislike of this ICS may overcome any attachment to my existing data! :)

Thanks, I appreciate it. :)

Sandy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
I personally use google contacts. No need to save every time. I have nothing on my sim or phone. Export all your contacts to Gmail or google voice account. You'll never have to worry about your contacts again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alperin1:
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...brick-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717-android-2-3-6/

OK this would be a link with images for getting back to GB.

Now the above link have the file for the ATT note and you are on a different provider so you would need to file for your provider.

Have a look and see if you think you can handle it. ;)

That is not me. It is a site I saw last night.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alperin1:
I also allow my Google contact to backup with my Google account.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CalcProgrammer1:
If you need to sync contacts locally there is an app on the market backs up contacts, call logs, and txt messages to xml file on your sd card. It works for GB and ICS. We used it when my friend upgraded from Froyo (2.2) to ICS on his Inspire 4G. Just search 'contacts backup' as I don't remember the name.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SandyRB:
Hi Froidroid.

Thanks, I appreciate the suggestion. However, I would prefer not to increase my involvement with Google for my own reasons. ;)

If I really do have to type them all in again I will sigh (perhaps even swear), throw my hands in the air and just get 'er done. I'm actually okay with that. But thanks for the suggestion, I'm grateful. :)

Cheers,

Sandy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SandyRB:
Hi Alperin.

Thank you! This looks like exactly the sort of thing I need. :)

Okay I get that. Thanks! I feel like I'm in sight of a solution. Where do you think I can lay hold of the appropriate file? I'm on Bell Canada, by the way.

Step-by-step instructions? Yeah, there's some small danger that'll work for me. ;) But I'll read through it thoroughly before I actually go ahead and attempt anything, just in case.

Thanks again, I REALLY appreciate it!!!!

You just did a factory reset, and your phone is stable and not crashing. Be happy with that, and pretend that you just picked up the phone at the store today. Now enter all your personal data, setup your wifi, etc., and go forward. In your mind you want to go back your old 2.3.6 setup, but when you do that, you will have to enter all this data at that point any way. Give the update a try in the now stable configuration. Trust me, you'll like it.

It's still crashing. It's also turning the GPS on without asking and consistently losing the wi-fi connection.

While I very much appreciate you taking the time to post, I have no interest whatsoever in using 4.0.4. I don't like it and it's not what I want. I want to return the phone to 2.3.6 and that's why I'm here, but thank you anyway. I'm getting some excellent help here and I'm very grateful indeed. :)

Hi JB.

Thanks for your response.

Right, thanks to your buddies here on the forum, I've got 'Odin3-v1.85.zip', which I'm going to install on my PC here at home. I've also got 'pda.tar' and 'pda-odin-bell-stock-kernel.tar' (these were from posts here and here by Da-G), which I think are the files that I need to bung 2.3.6 back on there. Also, Alperin very kindly pointed me at some instructions which I think I'll be good with (honestly, I'm not that great with computers, but I've had such awesome help from you fine people I don't feel quite as nervous now haha!)

Thanks, that would be brilliant. :) But if the files listed above are the right ones, then I guess I'm G2G.

Yes, I bet it is! :) Please forgive my technological ineptitude. If it wasn't for you guys, noobs like me would be totally forked.

And, you know, I'd love to find someone here who could just sort it, but I asked my buddy Scott — who's the best computer-whizz I know — and even he didn't know anyone. But you guys on here are all being super helpful so I definitely came to the right place. :)

Thanks again!!!

Looks likes you well on your way. Good going.

If you are successful with the Odin flashing then you would really be ready to play with a custom ROM.

That being said get back to what you like and then maybe play later.

That kernel is rooted, just so you know.

The other file is stock and works for all 4 phone providers. Do not be surprised if it has AT&T apps.

Wow, awesome community glad you got the help you needed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SandyRB:
Hi Alperin.

Thank you! I think I've got the 'flashing' thing down. Results were somewhat variable however.

Right... but it would depend on one's definition of success. :)

Which being said, I got all the software in place and made it happen. First of all it wouldn't boot at all, which was worrying, but I went through the steps again and perservered. After a while I tried a different .TAR file and managed to get it to work, but as someone predicted it thinks it's on AT&T now. Big deal. :) Anyway, I managed to restore my contacts (everything else fell over at 7% - weird) and I've proven that it's making and receiving calls and texts. Also everything is unbearably slow, especially typing. It takes several seconds for each letter to appear.

So, it's working as a telephone, which I guess is its primary function, and it has 2.3.6 installed, but it's a LONG way from being back to where it was. I WISH TO GOD I'd never allowed that bl**dy update from Samsung. Before that everything was great. Anyway.

I just wonder if anyone's got any further suggestions please? And, by the way, I am still extremely grateful for all the help I've been given here, thank you. :)
