try flashing a stock firmware using Odin
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] apprentice:
I noticed this morning a strange hissing noise which at first I thought was coming from the phone. This was when I was using the phone whilst it was plugged into the mains charger.

I removed the cable and the noise stopped. I plugged the phone into a USB port on my PC and there was no noise this time. So I checked the mains charger that came with the phone and sure enough the noise was coming from there!

It almost sounded like there was a fan inside, a very similar noise.

Has anyone else experienced this or can you recreate this?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] poli7247:
It also happens to my charger, you can feel comfortable there are no problems
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kuikkaj:
I do not have this charger but from your description it sounds like normal switcher noise.

The charger likely uses a switcher for dc-dc conversion. When not well designed they can have an audible noise. Usually it is not a fault and no reason to worry.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] apprentice:
Thanks for the info guys :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] thedicemaster:
i hoped i finally got rid of that noise with a new phone, but my note 2 charger makes noise too.

just like my LG O2X charger and Galaxy Tab 2 7" charger.

yet all my other chargers are capable of being perfectly silent.

it's loud enough to give me trouble sleeping, and i'm used to sleeping next to a noisy PC.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] zkyevolved:
I don't have a Galaxy Note 2 yet, but my original Galaxy Note's charger makes noise, as well. I believe because it has a high mAH recharging, because I use as an extra charger an old blackberry charger (with a long long cable xD) with only 500 mAH recharging power doesn't make any noise. I don't know if it has anything to do with how much voltage is flying through the charger has anything to do with it, but:

*Samsung chargers make noise.

*Other chargers I have don't.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Lucidmike:
All the chargers since the SII's have emitted some noise when there is no device plugged in. I don't really mind honestly.

Using nokia phones since 2002 i have to say most of them make that sound, dont worry :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] memoreks:
I got my SGNII at the weekend, and I have a very noisy charger, to the point where, as it is close to my bed, it wakes me up when its finished charging. However its only noisy once the phone is fully charged. Unplugging the phone once charged means the noise stops, but it also means my phone has been running on battery for 6 hours before I get up.

I think I will switch to a different USB charger that doesn't sound like a mouse being tortured :)

Yes, I know S2 ics supports native regional langauges...

But I dont like ics...because many apps do not work on ics and laggy too..

So I want to stay with gingerbread with native language support.

(In galaxy s advance with 2.3.6, all indian languages are well rendering in browser and other apps.)

I am asking why the same can not be acheived in s2 with 2.3.6?

I want to know which parts of a rom involve for this fonts display?

BecauseI just collected system/fonts file from ics rom and put into gb system/fonts and rebooted.

No improvement.

I want to know what should be done for this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] calaski8123:
I need a new phone. My Galaxy Nexus is shot... It was my first Samsung phone though so I'm a little gunshy due to the problems I have had. I am trying to decide if I should go with the Galaxy S3 or wait for the Motorola Razr Maxx or HD that is supposedly coming soon.

Problems I had with GNEX

Data Drops - known problem, I put up with it, but it was annoying. Data would drop and then take min to reconnect, sometimes few times a day

Screen cracked two places - First phone I ever cracked the screen, but much larger screen then I had before (Dinc). Phone still usable but annoying. Both phones I'm considering have the Gorilla Glass so I assume this wont be an issue

USB Charging port - the final straw, the port went bad. GNex sometimes thinks it is charging when not plugged in and switches every few seconds causing the display to come on constantly and kill my battery within two hours from a full charge. Other times I have to plug in and out just to get it to charge overnight. I know the USB board can be replaced but seriously, not putting money into this phone. I'm worried the GS3 has the same USB charging problem board???

Google Wallet - Verizon blocked it on GNex and GS3... I assume they will block on Razr??? I am rooted so I was able to install the APK but it was always hit or miss as far as using wallet... only worked about 50% of the time. It would connect but then say the transaction did not go thru. I really want to use NFC.

How does the rooted ROM community view each phone? Will the Razr have as many custom ROMs? I will Root whatever phone I get.

The Razr Maxx's aren't out yet so can't tell how they hold up... The GS3 worries me most with the USB charging port and the above issues I had with the Samsung line...

Any comments appreciated. I have an upgrade avaible now so I don't have to wait, but I can limp thru the day with the Gnex plugged in at work a lot so if the Razrs are worth waiting for I can... unless they're not expected till January, but they claim BEFORE the holidays so I assume November?

Also, are there any phones I'm missing? I liked the Dinc and HTC Sense (I know... I know... ) but no HTC phones seem to have NFC and the flagship is not avail on Verizon. I need to stay on Verizon. I will root.

Thanks,

Jim
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fr8cture:
First i must say the GS3 is MUCH better than the GNex and i haven't had any data drops so far, the screen seems fine but as always be careful with it. I can't say much about the port because i've never heard of that going bad on anything before. Now about rooting and custom roms. From what i can see the GS3 will have a wide arrange of custom roms and support for awhile. The Razr Hd and Razr Maxx Hd will get support but i doubt it will come near as much as the Gs3 as the Gs3 is much more popular than any other android phone. Google Wallet is also blocked on all Verizon phones. Also i personally think the Razr Maxx Hd looks awesome but i already got a gs3 so thats that. Hope this helped your decision. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vdChild:
Spotty data and drops all over the place here... coming from all htc devices it's horrible... that being said.. the phone is very nice n fast but if u can't live with the crappy Samsung radios anymore I'd say wait.

Google wallet can be fixed via rooting.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shojus:
I live in an area where I have 4g LTE everywhere so I can't say anything bad about the radio cause I have no issues with mine nor did I have issues with My Gnex (as far as the radio)... I would say that Samsung makes THE most cheapest phones out there as far as parts and build quality but I still LOVE my phone for some reason.... Maybe cause it's just fast as hell and some of the downfalls don't affect me but I will tell you that you had better make sure that you get a solid S3 NEW cause if and when it does fail their refurbs are a JOKE and I think I am on my fourth Verizon refurb cause they keep sending me garbage but I finally have one that I "think" is going to be good minus the power button being loose as hell but I think every S3 I have had has a loose power button... Just know that the bootloader is unlocked and if you go to another phone it's gonna be locked until these kickass devs over here figure it out... And as far as development goes, I am in LOVE!! Sooo many options with my S3's and I don't see it stopping anytime soon... Read the forums and make a wise decision but I don't regret getting this phone I think I have just been cursed by Verizon.... :eek: Just please don't buy an iPhone.... LOL Have a great day!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Xmeoff:
Coming from a Droid X (rooted) to a GS3 (not rooted yet) can't really complain. In Phoenix coverage is very good, even along desolate hwy's and out in the desert far from anything. Just recently drove across country and used Sirius/XM 90% of the way and made a ton of calls. XM app only dropped out 3 times, in some very remote areas of hwy. Didn't drop a single call and sound quality was good, even traveling at 75 mph. Sent a lot of SMS with Pictures taken along the way, all w/o problem.

Will say that inside of buildings here in PHX, I do see slightly lower signal strength than my Droid X. It's not a deal breaker as the structures I'm talking about are old and mainly steel and concrete. Took a short period of time to adjust to the TouchWiz, but it's no more difficult than any other manufacture tweaked OS. The phone definitely does not have the "built US strong" feel, kinda flimsy. I could drop the DX and not worry too much. This phone I spent a few extra $'s for a stronger case.

Overall, I'd say it's a good phone for now until something better comes along. Could be worse, gotta co-worker with an LG that drives him nuts. He's gonna need therapy one day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] calaski8123:
Haha no iphone for me. Wife has one but I wont go over to the cult. Thanks for the replies so far... Seems people like the Samsung but it still has problems that make me worry. I'm tempted to wait for the Razr just too see them both but I think the GS3 has some better specs... I live in northern NJ outside nyc so very good coverage but my nexus still just periodically losses all connections and has to reconnect... Four replacements makes me nervous....

Jim
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] calaski8123:
Haha... I'm a cop so I prob need an otterbox, but I didn't get one with the nexus it would make the phone huge. I'm used top the size now so am otterbox prob wouldn't bother me. Just thought maybe with gorilla glass a thinner case might be OK.

If you are really worried about wear and tear on the usb port this mod should be right up your alley: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1877191

All in all, it takes no more than 20-30 minutes to install, worst case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skater95:
It depends how much you care and flashing roms, I'd wait for the razr maxx HD. It's suppose to have a locked boot loader, but they're unlocking all there new phones. Some new phones are suppose to be coming out in the next couple months, so you might wanna wait to see what's coming.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
If you can, I'd at least advise waiting a few months for the next Nexus, Maxx HD etc. Phones with the next gen chipset (S4 Pro etc) are coming out soon.

My S3 is a great phone, but I have to agree the radios are worse than my previous HTC phone. If you are in an area with poor signal, the S3 will frequently drop data and gps locks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] calaski8123:
Wow that's a really cool mod... I like. As for flashing ROMs I am pretty crazy until I find one I like then I back off and usually just do the updates. Sometimes it takes a while to find something that has all the features I want.

I'm still undecided...going to go look at the store today and hold it.

One more question... I read the reviews talk about the screen on gs3 being a little darker... Is this a problem or is it fixed with the custom ROMs?

Jim
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
Being in New Hampshire, with no other 4g coverage here on any other carrier, the service is awesome. The screen seems a tad darker than my epic 4g was on Sprint, but it is far from a problem. Rooting is extremely easy. Like it takes 2 minutes literally. Tons of stable ROMs. I definitely made a really good choice with the GS3, you won't be disappointed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hmoobguy:
Doesn't Verizon offer a 14 day return/exchange policy? Worst case is try it, if you don't like it return it for another phone. Just don't root it during that time frame if you want to play it safe. Otherwise, ROMS provided for the GS3 are awesome in this community. I've had both the Sprint variant and now on Verizon for it's 4G LTE service.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blestsol:
Personally I'd wait a few months. Reception sucks but it's not too bad.

I am also in the upgrade search. Thanks to all that contributed it may have helped me a bit with my choice as well coming from my Dinc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] calaski8123:
Yes thank you for everyone's input. The opinions seem to be a little split, but that is to be expected. I'm leaning towards the GS3. I went to my local Verizon guy I've been dealing with for years. He said hands down he would go with the GS3. He said the Razr is still a bit behind in specs. I also see that the GS3 is 2GB RAM and the Razrs are only 1GB... The GS3 felt nice in hand.. sleek and smooth. The Motorola is still too clunky feeling to me.. angular and just not sleek. Personal opinion.

He also said there is no set release date for the Razrs... and I can get the GS3 cheaper. I also liked the reviews of the TouchWiz gestures...Interested to see how they are. Do any of the custom ROMs maintain the Touch Wiz gestures or features?

I think with the better specs right now I'd go with the GS3. The biggest problems, screen and reception, seem to be issues I can deal with. I rarely use my Nexus at full brightness and I the reception seems to be better than NExus in my area.

Jim
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] calaski8123:
Also the battery on the GS3 seems to be pretty good considering its not promoted as such like the Maxx HD will be...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crankshot89:
I almost got it too. Went to apple store and compared it hands on. I had 30 day return policy. Compared to the iphone, the colors are so much more vibrant! And the screen size is icing on the cake.

I'll also add that I own a macbook pro, and syncing--unless you run bootcamp--can be a PITA. Even with Android file transfer, it's often hit or miss.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fr8cture:
there is no way a Verizon phone will come with a unlocked bootloader unless its that dreaded iPhone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloblaw1:
All Touchwiz ROMs (CleanROM, Beans, Synergy) retain gestures/motions/smart stay. AOSP ROMs don't have them but some features can be added back with 3rd party apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eakeller:
If you want mods, the s3 rocks and the moto sucks. I've run both and rooted both. The roms that exist for moto just never get the support that the s3 gets, and they never will. I don't know if it's the locked bootloader or what, but devs love them some Samsung.

I'm also in the hunt for a new phone, as I currently own a Samsung Fascinate. Do you all think it's worth it to wait a few more months to see if Google comes out with a new Nexus for the holidays? I feel like the phone should have already been announced by now if it's going to come out by Christmas.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crankshot89:
I don't know man... seems like they come out with a new phone that's better every freakin day. You commit to a 2 year contract and it's obsolete by the time you leave the store lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] calaski8123:
I don't think there will be one before Christmas. The only one I have heard that is confirmed is the LG Nexus so that one might but they didnt set a date I don't think yet. To be honest, I'm not real impressed by its specs and I'd wait to see if LG can pull off a flagship Nexus... To me they're just not an elite smartphone maker yet.

I have heard there could be 3 or 4 Nexus devices but it doesn't appear they will be here before Christmas unless they are just keeping things really secret for once.

Sorry for not being clear. I wasn't saying the Moto devs don't update their roms, just that I've found a greater range of options for custom roms available for the S3, Galaxy Nexus, S2, etc. What forums would you suggest reading for other roms?

I've run most verizon Moto handsets in the recent past, Droid X, X2, Bionic, Maxx, etc. Most recently on the Maxx, it seemed to me that the roms i found were so close to stock that I was having a hard time finding a great advantage vs. stock. When I switched to the S3, there was a huge variety of roms with vastly different user experiences available and there were also very active communities discussing them and sharing information. Again, if I was looking in the wrong place I'd appreciate knowing the best place in case I swap back to my Maxx for the better radio reception.

You flashed a PRIME rom to your tf300?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppmeis:
First of all, we should know which firmware do you have before your tablet doesn't boot (Stock ICS, JB, Custom Rom).

Then, you can use fastboot to recover your tablet (i did it a lot of times). Try steps below:

1. Download latest oficial Asus firmware (V10.4.2.13). BE SURE to download your region (WW, US, etc...)

2. Extract downloaded zip and take blob file.

3. Download Android SDK and install them on C:\ (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)

4. Execute SDK downloader and mark tools and platform-tool options for download.

5. OPTIONAL add tools and platform-tool folder to PATH, after that test if fastboot command runs on CMD.

6 Copy blob file on same SDK folder.

7. Connect TF300T with usb cable and put it in Download Mode (USB icon on recovery menu)

8. Wait until drivers are installed.

7. Open CMD, go to Android SDK folder and then type command below:

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob

wait 2 or 3 minutes and then you'll see a message that send and write was OK. Now type this command:

fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot

And It should boot again.
