Hi,

I have been having this weird problem with my internet connectivity for my Note 2 today. I dropped my Note 2 this afternoon, and there are luckily no visible signs of damages on the body. Up till a couple of hours ago I was out and using my 3g plan and there were no problems with the internet. However, now that I have connected to my wifi network, I am not able to open any website in any browser. Apps like facebook, xda app etc also are not able to connect. But some apps, like whatsapp and speedtest.org app are working as usual. There are no problems connecting to my local wifi either, and I can access my router as well. I have other android devices as well, and they are having no such problems - all apps on other devices can easily connect to the internet through my wifi network.

Now, I think there could be two issues. Firstly, as the phone had been dropped, some hardware problem might've occurred. But as I am able to access internet through some apps (whatsapp etc) from my wifi I don't think this is likely. Secondly, some app/process might be blocking my browsers and the facebook apps access to the internet. But again, this too is unlikely as the browsers and facebook app can access the internet through 3g.

I am very confused as to what to do, and would be really grateful if one of you guys could help me with this.

Those who help noobs go to heaven. True story.

Guys this is the version installed on my note 2 is there any better or new version available.
[Galaxy Note II General] pnsdhrn:
At present this(EM16) is the latest and safest version.There is a still newer version(MJ4) released.But that seems to be not as safer as EM16.And Dr.Ketan has released a super version based on EM16 and MJ2.Most of us are on this version.The link to this version is furnished below.

Ok here is the thing my Note 2 in 2 trips in car has done a weird thing, it shows the full signal but says not registered network when I try to call, a restart also doesn't work, then after few minutes it self heals itself

How's that?
[Galaxy Note II General] chaitanya87:
This will occur in case of roaming. Its just that your home network is not available in that area. So your phone will register on another network where we cannot make calls and data. When our home network is available it switchs back to its original state.

A Request

Hello everybody!

I have a request. Is it possible for any of you who has a copy of the Official 4.1.2 Stock Rom (N7100XXDMG1_N7100ODDDMG1_INU.zip) for Note 2 to share with me. The link from Sammobile takes me to hotfiles and am not able to download the entire file despite a dozen attempts. I've flashed the Hybrid rom V3 by Ketan and accidently deleted the backup of the old 4.1.2 rom. I'm concerned about getting the Official release for 4.3 as it seems very imminent.

Also please enlighten me if reflashing the 4.1.2 rom would fiddle with my EFS!

Help is needed and would be heartily appreciated.:fingers-crossed:

regards,

dcpathak
[Galaxy Note II General] binYaqoob:
You can still flash 4.3 by downloading it from sammobile or other website.

Reflashing might not read your efs just make sure that you have same baseband version while reflashing, it is always important to have a backup, I faced similar problem with my S3 when i downgraded it back to 4.1.2, thankfully I had efs backup
[Galaxy Note II General] dcpathak:
Thansk for replying.

The problem with downloading from sammobile is that they provide hotfile link and the download keeps on failing. I don't have premium account for the same so cannot use download accelerators also.

Further, is it possible that I unroot the mobile and then would succeed in getting the OTA. This idea came after reading the following on android.gs:

"Don’t worry because even though you will update your Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to official, though leaked, Android 4.3 XXUEMJ5 firmware, you will still be able to receive the upcoming OTA software. The XXUEMJ5 OS is the official and stock Jelly Bean 4.3 system that is compatible with your phablet so you will have no issues when receiving further OTA releases of the Android platform..." Will it work?

regards,

dcpathak
[Galaxy Note II General] binYaqoob:
Yes you can get OTA, you need to flash back to stock 4.1.2, make sure you have proper baseband.
[Galaxy Note II General] dcpathak:
Thanks, This is the reason I requested for Official, Stock rom. The hotfile thing is not working. Even if someone can share a rooted one, I would be heartily grateful.

Yes I did this morning. My note is having some charging issue. The charging speed is very slow. The last time it took me 7hrs to charge it to 100% from 50%. Bloody morons gave me some vague reason for it saying that I have kept the brightness level on automatic which is causing the battery to charge slow and that my usb cable was faulty. but on a contrary note, I use the same charger to charge my galaxy grand and it works perfect. Then those a**holes said they'll flash latest firmware to fix the charging bug but they flashed the same old MG1 firmware and the problem still persist.
[Galaxy Note II General] technonerd92:
Change your wire. It's the wire that Samsung gives, that sucks. It's been a common issue. Changing the wire solves the problem.
[Galaxy Note II General] cardozclive:
The same wire is able to charge my galaxy nexus and grand duos properly so I don't see any fault in the wire. I think my charging port is the culprit.
[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
The battery of the Duos and Nexus aren't as big as the Note. So they'll charge sooner anyways.

As said before, try changing the cable.
[Galaxy Note II General] sumeshd:
Note 2 has 2 amp input compared to all other phones which has 1 amp input.. Change the cable and buy some thick heavy duty cable.. I have bought a lg cable which is working miracle..

Go through this. Slow charging has already been discussed on this thread many times. The answer is almost always the same - a short, stocky wire will offer less resistance to the flow of current allowing you to charge your battery faster. I myself use a short Nokia wire with the samsung 2A charger to charge my completely depleted battery in about 150 minutes.

Hope it helps.

Battery is charging extremely fast.

Also gone to sc to replace the usb cable and **** they said stock is over, come after 4-5 days later.

Guys one last thing I want to ask is,

Should I Flash STOCK ROM(right now pac rom and will dual boot later having stock 4.3 and pac) b4 going to SC. Yeah I know that stock Rom should be flashed when entering the sc, but please suggest me.

just realized my warranty ran out last month so unless it bricks my phone for trying to downgrade and stuff,am good with counter increase.I have to get back to 4.1.2 eventually cuz without internal and external SD swap it's painful..... any hopes for getting custom kernels on 4.3 soon to swap internal and external? like redpill.
